Thayer’s petty politics

Sen. Damon Thayer should stop wasting my hard-earned tax dollars to punish the Kentucky Horse Park for not offering him a job in 2010. I’m proud to pay my fair share in taxes, but I will not stay silent when they are used for such petty, selfish and inane purposes.

Thayer should get back to work, create jobs, make our schools better, keep our citizens protected and healthy, then display at least the modicum of dignity that his position as a senator demands.
