Kentucky Administration Blocks BlogJeez. Just last week, muckraking blogger Roy Temple was carted out of the Missouri governor’s office when he tried to attend a bill signing.
Now in neighboring Kentucky, state employees arrived at work this morning to discover their computers were blocked from viewing the muckraking blog Bluergassreport.org. The site has doggedly pursued the administration of Gov. Ernie Fletcher, who’s at the center of one of the largest scandals in the state’s history.
The admin’s tech office is responsible for the deed, which seems ham-handedly political — Wonkette has also been blocked, though other blogs have not. The blog has been hitting Gov. Ernie Fletcher (R-KY) for months and months over his administration’s illegal cronyism. You can see the long list of scandal casualties here on our Kentucky Grand Ole Docket — 15 indictments, nine of which Fletcher pardoned.
We’ll be calling the governor’s office to see why state employees need to be protected from the Bluegrass Report.
