The Kentucky TEA Party is not going away. In fact, it's only just beginning to create a stir.
Today, the Northern Kentucky TEA Party made national news. The Huffington Post covered the group's opposition to the 25 percent water rate increase in the Northern Kentucky water district.
When the Northern Kentucky TEA partiers took their complaint to a hearing last month, the judge put the blame on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
This is yet another instance of the federal government's assault on Kentuckians.
The Bluegrass Institute is committed to reporting these intrusions, as indicated by recent blogs about the water rate hikes -- which amount to blatant unfunded federal mandates -- here and here and in Jim Waters' statewide column.

The TEA Party is indeed branching out. In addition to the N. KY TEA Party action on water rates, there have been a number of presentations at TEA Party events about education issues.
I guess TEA Party folks get it -- you can't fix taxation, at least at the state level, and not pay attention to where 60 cents out of every state tax dollar goes.
Exactly right, Anonymous!
I hope education issues will continue to gain momentum with the TEA party folks. The fact that only one out of three fourth-graders and one out of four eighth-graders is performing proficiently in math does not bode well for our future economy.
Besides, without reforming education, we will be raising children who know little about what America is really all about and will be ill-equipped intellectually to push back against future government policies that assault our liberties and threaten our prosperity.
