Group rates legislators on Fiscal responsibility.
Kentucky Club for Growth, a fiscal watchdog group based in Covington, KY, has released its fiscal responsibility ratings score card for Kentucky Legislators. Read the Club's press release and rankings to see how your Legislator fared in being fiscally responsible with your money.
In the House: I am HAPPY to know that my Legislator and VERY good friend, Rep. Jim DeCesare, is the second MOST fiscally responsible (at a score of 88), right behind the MOST fiscally responsible Legislator of the ALL -- Stan Lee (at 91). Lt. Governor candidate, Jeff Hoover ranked #16 by score (at 47).
The bottom rung of the fiscal ratings ladder is populated by Legislators, such as Reps. Robin Webb, Larry Clark and Steve Riggs (who came in at 100 and were considered the least fiscally responsible). Speaker Jody Richards came in at 91 -- a better score than 9 others.
In the Senate: My friend, Sen. Dick Roeding came in the Most fiscally responsible, followed closely by another good friend Sen. Bob Leeper. My good friend and Senator, Brett Guthrie was tied with several Senators at second place with a score of 61.
Bringing up the rear were Sens. Gerald Neal, Tim shaughnessy and Dan Mongiardo.
Related story: Billy Harper has put out a news release in response to the rankings stating: "Fiscal responsibility in Frankfort has taken a back seat to politics for years now, and state policymakers need to reevaluate the way they spend taxpayer funds. Education reform and economic development, state government’s most important responsibilities, have been allowed to whither on the vine while many policymakers have looked after their own special interests."

What about Brandon Smith being tied with Kathy Stein?!?!?
Someone needs to tell Billy Harper that education is one of the biggest drains on the public treasury, with mostly negative results to show for it. More spending on Ed isn't the answer.
