KY Progress takes gov to the woodshed
8 August, 2008
Kentucky Progress called out Governor Steve Beshear’s administration on calling a transparency taskforce meeting when a key leader in the movement, Secretary of State Trey Grayson, cannot be present. Grayson will be attending the Republican National Convention during the scheduled meeting time. Kentucky Progress notes that this will only be the second taskforce meeting since the inaugural June 19th session. Grayson has already launched a searchable checkbook registry, Check It Out Kentucky, that he says should serve as an example of how transparency can be accomplished.
The Bluegrass Policy Blog notes that Kentucky will likely follow Missouri Governor Matt Blunt’s model in transparency by executive order, but seems to be dragging his feet instead of opening his books to KY taxpayers.
