Kentucky ping - What do you all make of this?
"I'd characterize it this way: He ran on a platform of believe me and I will run state government differently," said former Democratic Gov. Julian Carroll, who is now a state senator from Frankfort. "He turns out to be the biggest deceiver that we've had in the governor's office in my lifetime. Rather than a believer, he's truly a deceiver."
Oh really, Julian?

Julian M. Carroll (1974-1979)
Gov. Carroll led the state through some of its toughest tragedies, including the Beverly Hills Supper Club fire that killed 165 people. He also was investigated by the FBI for allegedly favoring his friends and supporters with personal service contracts and leases.
One grand jury investigation, on an insurance scam, sent Nashville-based banker Sonny Hunt, a close associate of the governor, to prison.
Just a few days before Mr. Carroll left office, another federal grand jury probe was mounted into his two children's receipt of monthly $500 checks from W.B. “Bill” Terry Sr., a Lexington businessman.
Mr. Carroll had pushed special conflict-of-interest legislation through the General Assembly so he could appoint Mr. Terry to the University of Kentucky Board of Trustees. Mr. Terry's Bluegrass Coca-Cola Bottling Co. had the exclusive soda contract with UK.
