Whamo!
Gov. Ernie Fletcher (R) of Kentucky and a slew of people from his adminsitration have been embroiled for some time now in a big government personnel scandal. And he just called a press conference and basically pardoned everybody.
I think this is what Republicans call decisive leadership.
Fletcher says he’ll appear before the grand jury himself tomorrow; but he won’t talk.
Have thoughts you want to share on this? We just set up this discussion thread over at the Republicans discussion table. Particularly interested in hearing from Kentuckians who’ve been watching this unfold up close.
Late Update: This turns out to be a bit more complicated than it looked on first glance. The BlueGrassReport has the running details.
