KY3 Notebook: Nixon likely to appoint Steele-Danner to Economic Development post

Dave Catanese at KY3 Notebook reports Katie Steele-Danner, appointed as acting economic development director by Gov. Jay Nixon Monday, is expected to receive the appointment on a permanent basis.

A Turner Report post Monday noted that on two occasions Ms. Steele-Danner refused to take breathalyzer tests.

One insider said the implications of driving while intoxicated detailed by Turner aren't unique nor a disqualifier necessarily. "The 1997 thing was, well 1997," said the source. "Ten years between events isn't quite a pattern," he added, referring to the Taney County traffic stop, when Danner refused to take a breathalyzer after a stop for speeding and reportedly failed field sobriety tests.

"There's not much there, there," the insider argued.

Perhaps not, but it does show an apparent disregard for those who are attempting to enforce the law, not a great message from someone who will represent the Nixon Administration.
