Governor launches procrastination tactic ... again

How many times can Governor Beshear go to the wish-and-hope well to avoid dictating cuts in state government?

First, he was going to do an efficiency study. It never happened. Good talk, no walk.

Then Beshear asked state employees for suggestions to cut costs. They responded with suggestions encompassing energy conservation, changes in practices that would reduce costs, reorganization, staffing, double-dipping, training, work hours, state vehicles and everything in between. When you read them, it begs the question: "Where’s management?"

Now the governor is going back to the employees again with the same request.

But just how many times will such public relations procrastination tactics work to avoid the really tough decisions he was elected to make as the state's top executive?
