How entrepreneurs can instill high-performance government in Kentucky 

If you run a Kentucky business...or you know someone who does... that can show state government how to do any of its functions better, cheaper and/or faster, soon Governor Ernie Fletcher will want to know your name.

A new era is dawning in Frankfort.  The dense bureaucratic fog that has cloaked productivity and job satisfaction is lifting.  State employees are either overjoyed or nervous nellies.  Why?

An army of entrepreneurs are now looking over their shoulders wondering what contribution state employees are making for the compensation they are receiving.  That's because Gov. Fletcher has put the word out:

We're hosting our colleague, Geoff Segal, director of privatization and government reform at the Reason Foundation, who will speak to interested business owners at AIK in Louisville on Thursday, August 19 from 9:30am to 11:00am on this subject:
