Auditor: Kentucky has tolerated 'political culture of low expectations and corruption'

Edelen was a featured speaker Monday hosted by the Democratic Woman’s Club of Clark County. Edelen told the group there are two challenges that have held Kentucky back. “The first is that we’re a poor state. We don’t always have the resources to invest in our people,” Edelen said. “The second is that we have too often tolerated a political culture of low expectations and corruption.”
