Unbridled Spending on Unbridled Spirit

Every time Kentucky gets a new governor the Commonwealth gets a new slogan. Before the current Unbridled Spirit slogan it was Education Pays. I don't understand why Kentucky needs a slogan to begin with because, in my opinion, it's just another waste of money. State Auditor Crit Luallen's just released annual audit has found that $75,000 of federal money designated for things such as a summer food service program for children was spent on Unbridled Spirit.

The Fletcherite Kentucky Progress blog dismisses the Auditor's report as a Democrat conspiracy and defends the Unbridled Spirit campaign. However, Kentucky would be much better off if people demanded government stay out of the advertising business to begin with, that's what private tourism is for. No one if going to come to Kentucky just because they see "Unbridled Spirit" on a billboard.
