Thanks to the efforts of House Speaker Jody Richards, Governor Fletcher has agreed to meet with executives from Peabody Energy for a private meeting on July 25 at the Louisville International Convention Center.
House Speaker Richards (who must now apparently do Fletcher's work for him) requested a meeting with Peabody Chief Executive Officer Gregory H. Boyce to gauge Peabody’s commitment and time schedule to locating an alternative fuels plant in Kentucky if the legislature approves tax incentives.
Governor Fletcher should have taken this action himself prior to calling the House and Senate into special session. This would have established the need for a special session assuming Peabody Energy is in fact going to make a decision soon about locating a plant in Kentucky as Fletcher has claimed.
Instead, Fletcher added a total of 66 other items to the agenda of his executive order calling the House and Senate into a special session, including a ban on domestic partnerships at all Kentucky public institutions that the Senate has already approved.
Governor Fletcher, Senate President Williams, and House Speaker Richards will be attending the meeting in Louisville.

Someone has got to help poor Governor Fletcher but I am sorry to see that it is the House Speaker who must do his job for him, then again it is better a Democrat do it for him than a Republican. I hope it is another 30 years before we ever have another Republican for Governor.
Fletcher is an idiot.....and a complete JOKE!
