State plane to travel to SEC tourney, 'visit friends'?

Bluegrass Institute president Jim Waters was quoted in a Lexington Herald-Leader story about how Governor Steve Beshear used a state plan to travel to the SEC basketball tournament followed by a trip to Florida so that first lady Jane Beshear could "visit friends."

Jim Waters, president of Bluegrass Institute, which promotes free-market capitalism and smaller government, said Friday that he thinks Kentucky taxpayers will have to decide whether Beshear's use of the state plane to go to a basketball tournament is "an intentional or unintentional foul."
Waters also said he would like to know whether the Democratic Party's payment for the flights "covers all the expenses, like wear and tear on the plane."
