Although governor Bev portrays herself as an education based governor, the reality is shown below. Her legacy as our state’s governor will be one of indebtedness, gambling and unemployment. The rise of gambling houses across our state are the only “jobs” that she has created. This is a great example of the old adage concerning sleeping with dogs and waking up with Obama fleas.
