OPINION:
If the representatives of Governor Beshear's office are an indication of his views, then this voter's personal opinion is that we are in deep trouble in the coal fields. After being transferred four times trying to speak to someone on the issue of Kentucky sovereignty I was referred to a gentleman who decided to give me a lecture on the state's economy and how much better off we were under the Obama administration.
Besides being extremely rude and unprofessional the gentleman blamed everything on Bush, the surplus from the Clinton era had nothing to do with Gingrich's "Contract with America" or the Republican Congress, it was only Bill Clinton, and then the Bush presidency destroyed the whole country and bankrupted us and now Obama is saving everything.
When he asked for specifics of how the federal level affected us locally, of course the government owning corporations, and the carbon tax came to mind. His response was that government has owned parts of corporations for some time, i.e. Al Gore owned a corporation that was a part owner of Microsoft??? I didn't know that.
Regarding sovereignty - He said he didn't see that as being "important enough" for the Governor to bother with during a special session and that resolutions didn't really have any merit anyway since they weren't a "law".
Rather than talking to a professional office staffer, I just talked to a rabid liberal talking head. If this man is indicative of the people Beshear surrounds himself with, then he is not a man who represents ALL of us and certainly not ME!
