FRANKFORT – Gov. Matt Bevin decided to overhaul the Workers Nominating Commission last month – replacing Democrat Steve Beshear’s seven appointees with seven of his own – as part of what he says is an effort to rid Frankfort of the “pay-to-play” method of governing.
A review of political donations by the seven members of the Beshear appointed board showed two members – William Grover Arnett and McKinnley Morgan – have been massive givers to Democratic political causes in recent years.
Each, combined with the contributions of his spouse, has given more than $130,000 to Democratic candidates and causes over the past decade.
