Frankfort,
KY (11/14/2012) - Kentucky "ghost government" generates $2.7 billion a
year. The "ghost government" is "unelected entities such as libraries,
sanitation districts, fire departments and public health departments -
that have the ability to fee and tax but operate with little oversight
and accountability."
WKYT reports, "the auditor's office has
identified more than 1,200 special districts in Kentucky, with 17 in
Perry County alone. These organizations make up a nearly $3 billion
layer of government that state auditor Adam Edelen says has operated in
the shadows for decades."
