Who decided we need professional politicians?

In a state whose political class has created an unsustainable public employee benefits program, a official tradition of secrecy, and rampant overspending, average Kentuckians can easily tell what is wrong with this New York City voting today to do away with term limits.

Can't imagine that is going to really solve any problems.

Kentuckians might want to take this opportunity to ask themselves why we allow our politicians to gather so much power -- our power -- given the well-established track record for abusing it.
