Kentuckians overwhelmingly say 'no' to using state funds to renovate Rupp

Independent-minded Kentuckians don't take too kindly to a governor and an unelected bureaucratic "project manager" trying to extract $80 million from taxpayers statewide to fund the proposed renovation of Rupp Arena.

These same Kentuckians also don't seem to be swayed by Gov. Beshear's weak "Louisville got one, so Lexington gets one, too" argument.

Perhaps they are paying more attention to the financial mess that the Louisville arena finds itself in than they receive credit for from politicians or overbearing project managers.
