Al Cross agrees with me.
A few days ago I took issue with the Courier-Journal for taking Gov. Fletcher to task for what the C-J termed "GOP districts got disproportionate share of road bond" by pointing out in my post how the Courier-Journal misses point with GOP story. Now Al Cross, in his column this morning: Jobs, not roads, put Fletcher in the ditch, agrees with me.
Here is an excerpt:
Highways are different. No law requires road spending to be apportioned on a partisan basis, and some Republican areas have gotten too little attention from the state's road program. That's why it didn't bother this Southern Kentucky native very much to read C-J Frankfort bureau chief Tom Loftus' report last week that the districts of Republican state legislators got a disproportionate share of roads being built under a recent bond issue.
Some of those roads, like KY 61 in Adair County, KY 70 and 259 in Edmonson County, KY 30 in Jackson County, KY 92 and U.S. 25W in Whitley County and the Shelbyville bypass (in a county once represented by Democrats but now by Republicans), should have been done long ago.
B-I-N-G-O.
