Bevin’s disrespect

lt is abundantly clear that Gov. Matt Bevin has no respect for separation of powers and non-partisan appointments to governing boards, so crucial to a democratic form of government at every level.

He obviously is using the office of governor to advance his personal agenda, which is vindictive and punishing to many. Based on his short time in office, it appears the marginally and outright disenfranchised residents of Kentucky are in for a long ride. All hail, the goobernator!
