Beshear Requests Political Appointees Jobs Be Spared

KENTUCKY....

Governor Steve Beshear has requested that dozens of political appointees who would lose their jobs at the end of December be spared. Beshear's office says the group of 81 officials includes policy advisers and special assistants whose positions are essential. The governor wants the Kentucky Personnel Board to exempt the employees from a new budget-cutting law. Kentucky Association of State Employees Vice President Melissa Jan Williamson says most public service is done by merit workers who make less money and are being furloughed. Williamson says many of these jobs don't actually do anything that serves the public.
