Dems get kudos for returning special-session pay

Kudos to Democrats Jim Wayne of Louisville and Melvin Henley of Murray for returning to the state treasury more than $2,500 in wages they received for this year's special legislative session.

In the private sector, if work doesn't get done on time there are consequences. In the public sector, Frankfort's politicians too often benefit from a policy of procrastination.

How many other lawmakers will follow Wayne's and Henley's example? Taxpayers are watching.
