Another embarrassment

Just when I thought Gov. Matt Bevin couldn’t be more of an embarrassment to himself or our state, his administration again shows a total lack of good judgment and an utter lack of class by removing the signage recognizing former first lady Jane Beshear’s contribution to establishing the Capitol Education Center.

This all-important center would not even exist if it hadn’t been for her dedication and perseverance to acquire the private funding to make this educational dream a reality for thousands of Kentucky’s schoolchildren.

If Bevin wants to play the role of schoolyard bully, he should pick on somebody his own size — although his stature seems to diminish every day.
