Send Draud Home

Jon Draud is one greedy SOB and state government would be better off without him.

Draud has been caught twice with his hand in the cookie jar since becoming Education Commissioner.

First, he wanted extra vacation days.

Gov. Steve Beshear also asked that the search be reopened, but the board hired Draud. In February Draud withdrew a request for additional benefits after Beshear questioned the timing.

The board had approved a proposal that would have given Draud 20 days of vacation and an extra 30 sick days before the commissioner withdrew his request.

Now he wants a state car with a bunch of goodies.

State government recently bought a nearly $31,000 Chrysler 300 for Draud to drive as his state car. Draud signed off on the car with nearly $13,000 in upgrades that included a more powerful engine, a hands-free phone system and a global positioning system.

Draud gets paid 220,000.00 per year of our tax dollars, and he still insists on trying to screw the Commonwealth out of every dime he can.

This guy needs to go, the sooner the better.
