Bevin appointee mismanaged Lexmark's taxes

Matt Bevin has only been in power for a few days, and there's already a major scandal in his administration.

On Monday, Bevin appointed former Lexmark International bigwig Daniel Bork as Kentucky's Commissioner of Revenue. It turns out that Bork left Lexmark amidst an accounting quagmire that forced the Lexington-based tech company to spend millions overhauling its internal financial controls.

Bork mismanaged Lexmark's taxes, and now he's in charge of collecting taxes for Kentucky?

Meanwhile, public support is growing for hundreds of workers at a Lexmark factory in Mexico who were fired because they demanded a union and better wages.
