Actually, I'm afraid she is evil. This particular administration in Kentucky has been riddled with scandal -- mostly the governor's fault -- but Heather French Henry is probably the second biggest part of the problem. She and her husband misuse public funds -- she's the first "second lady" who thought she needed overpaid staff to manage her calendar; he's a doctor and I've heard whiffs of inappropriate medicaid administration; and now this. He had real political potential, but she's basically succeeded in killing him off.
I didn't doubt her evilness. I just thought the headline was funny.
It is interesting to see that she is just another parasite. One of those many elected officials who believe they need a chauffered car and the tax-payers ought to foot their extensive bill.
I am a socialist by nature and I have a habit in going for heavy-spending...for the people. I find the incomes of many elected officials and their spouses to be truly atrocious and immoral. She is a fine example of that.
I understand the argument that public officials shouldn't lack the resources that those such as big businessmen have, more out of respect for the importance of the office than anything else. Basically, though, I'm not impressed by it. I might feel differently, if this were New York, but it isn't; it's Kentucky, and these are plain people who find the trappings of office intimidating more than anything else. The other sad thing is that Steve Henry is from Owensboro, and if he hadn't had so many scandal problems, he might be the Democratic nominee for Governor right now -- and this area could use a little influence in Frankfort. We're really hurting.
Of course, the whole thing is more pathetic than anything else. Heather Henry is a woman who needs the trappings of office in KENTUCKY to make her feel important. That is really sad! (LOL!)
