One of the few things the Fletcher Administration has done half right is get rid of the worst looking license plate in the country.
You know you are in trouble when GQ magazine rates your plate the worst looking plate in all 50 states.
Now I don't think we needed to spend all the money Jim Host spent to get a new logo for the state, but I will admit it the new plate does look better.
From the Courier Journal:
"Kentucky drivers getting new plates will receive tags with the state's new "Unbridled Spirit" logo starting Aug. 1, bringing an end to the slogan "It's that friendly.' "

Re-electing The Governor
Call the organization “LINK”, Local Initiatives for a New Kentucky, Fletcher’s reach out to the people program or call it “Constituent Services” the Paul Patton version of the same program, they are created and operated for one purpose and one purpose only. Get the guy who is Governor re-elected.
From the Courier Journal:
“But records obtained by The Courier-Journal say that the main goal of the network of offices called Local Initiatives for a New Kentucky, or LINK, was Fletcher's re-election.”
These organizations are an out growth of Kentuckians being able to elect a Governor to two terms in office.
They tap dance down the line between being illegal, you can’t use state workers and resources to support a campaign, and being a public service.
While they may be of some marginal value to the taxpayers of Kentucky, I would like to see the next session of the legislature tighten the screws on this kind of an organization. We have seen the potential for illegal activities come to pass with the current merit system investigation.
I would also like to see the State Auditor of Public Accounts Crit Luallen do a performance audit to determine if the interests of the taxpayers are really being served by this organization.
I would hope the will is there for the Auditor to take a hard look at LINK and Patton’s Constituent Services and report the findings to the taxpayers of Kentucky and the Legislature.
