Gov. Steve Beshear and Finance and Adminstration Cabinet Secretary Jonathan Miller made a big deal the last six months out of promising a government spending transparency web site to be made available today:
Everyone in the world knows what day it is. And fiscally-minded Kentuckians still don't know what the state government is doing with their money.
All we know today is they want more of it. Our money, that is.
The time is long past for every single dollar of Kentucky taxpayer money to be posted to the internet when it is spent. Beshear has goofed around on this way too long.

Tinted windows cannot be transparent.
Beshear should join with his friend Blagoveich.
I suspect we'll hear something along the lines of, "Well, we're in an austere budget situation and really can't afford the hosting fees right now. Of course, if we could get a supplemental income stream going, like say, casinos, we could afford to fix this and all the other fiscal issues that Kentucky is facing."
Not only that, but Louisville mayor Jerry Abramson still hasn't released the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report that has come out in December every year before.
Looks like the delays are contagious.
That's a good guess, Debi. Fortunately for us, the Beshear Administration already admitted the cost was zero.
Steve, thanks for the head's up on that.
Of course he didn't post yesterday or today. You didn't really expect him to do something constructive on a State Holiday did you? The fact is - he is probably computer illiterate and will require the expertise of some poor COT employee (whom he has promised to furlough without pay for three days, thank you!) and who most likely told him to post his own d@#^ numbers...
