Asleep At The Wheel

One more question about checks and balances at Kentucky Retirement Systems (KRS).

The problems at KRS have been going on a long time and more than one administration and a number of legislators are responsible for letting this agency get out of control.

But how does Ernie Fletcher’s Personnel Cabinet Secretary Brian Crall not notice $2 million dollars disappearing into the salary bucket.

Was he asleep at all of the Board meetings?

Did he even attend the meetings, or did he send one of the kiddie corps as a stand in?

Fletcher ran on cleaning up the “waste, fraud and abuse” in Frankfort. Well the first thing you have to do to clean up something is to notice the problem.

I guess Crall was so involved in looking the other way while Fletcher and company were trying to subvert the merit system that personnel issues at KRS seemed like business as usual.
