UK's Jay Blanton To Taxpayers: Screw You!

I completely reject the idea that Kentucky's public universities somehow can't compete unless Kentucky taxpayers provide expensive health insurance benefits to the boyfriends and girlfriends of their employees.

UK spokesman Jay Blanton, though, wants the bennies and doesn't care what you think about it.

Blanton told the Lexington Herald-Leader "We certainly respect the opinions of legislators very much, but I don't think there are political considerations with respect to this decision," Blanton said.

In other words, he just wants your money and for you to keep your stupid opinions to yourself.

Last week, the University of Louisville decided to extend domestic partner benefits to all their employees. What's next, universal pet health insurance?
