Beshear could learn action habit from Jindal

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is getting some great press for leading the way for government spending transparency in his state.

Jindal ordered a public web site with valuable spending data for taxpayers on his first day in office. Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear has had to be dragged kicking and screaming to get him to move in the same direction.

We certainly would have gotten a lot farther down the road toward efficient government in Kentucky if Beshear merely followed Jindal's example.
