Transparency Bill Clears House
KENTUCKY...
A bill aimed at shedding more light on personal service contracts in state government has cleared the Kentucky House. The bill that passed the House on Wednesday would direct all state agencies to report the number of full-time merit, non-merit and contract employees to the Personnel Cabinet. The report would be forwarded to state lawmakers on a quarterly basis. House Minority Floor Leader Jeff Hoover, the bill's lead sponsor, said the bill would help shed light on the "shadow government" that exists. The proposal passed the House on a 99-0 vote. It now goes to the Senate.
