Alot of local and state politician are corrupt. Payoffs are a way of life to them. Statewide there may be some differences in the parties. But when you get down to county and city politics there is not a bit of difference between the two. Kentucky is no different than Tennessee, Arkansas or any other state in the US. And yes I live in Kentucky.

"It is strange that in Kentucky, Democrats control the state offices. But Republicans send 5 of the 6 US congress members and both US Senators."

Maybe it is time to take over the state offices. How about starting with Ellen Williams? Very impressive person!!!

Local politics in Kentucky (and I speak from having grown up in Patton's hometown) are a joke. Buying votes is so common, people often react with shock if you question the procedure.
