After KBE fiasco with first presidential choice, COPSE fills interim post with state budget chief.

After the Kentucky Education Board's fiasco with its first choice for ed. Commish post, council for post secondary education avoids same fate and picks state budget director, Brad Cowgill, for its chief post on interim basis, effective Sept. 1st, at a pay of over a quarter of a million dollars (Cowgill currently makes about $155,000.00).

What are your thoughts -- good or bad move?

Update: How the Barbara Erwin "search, find and destroy" KBE commish fiasco came about.

Update #2: KBE has decided to keep its interim commish for now, while a search for a permanent one is undertaken.
