Northup to focus on "clear priorities", Laurel County GOP gives Fletcher nod.

Republican Governor candidate, Anne Northup, has promised to focus on "clear priorities" as Governor. Her first priority will be "to get control of the budget, including taking a look at the pension plan." Others include the state pension plans, math and science education deficiencies, economic development and transportation.
Meanwhile, PolWatchers is reporting that "the Laurel County Republican Party's executive committee "unanimously and enthusiastically" endorsed Gov. Ernie Fletcher's re-election bid." The press release dispatched by Warren Scoville, the county's GOP chairman, is quoted as stating: "Gov. Fletcher has brought more money into Laurel, Whitley, Knox and the surrounding counties than any governor in Kentucky's history."
