Findley starting to look familiar

findleytroyTwo months into the job, Lt. Gov. Troy Findley remains one of the state’s highest-ranking and least-recognizable public officials, the Topeka Capital-Journal reported. So what percentage of Kansans could name the current lieutenant governor? “I do not know. Five percent?” Findley told the newspaper. “I think we’d probably be lucky if we were there.” But as he attends public events and conducts other official duties, he at least is starting to look familiar. “I notice when I go out and about, people will kind of give you that look, ‘I think I know who you are, but am just not quite certain,’ ” he said.

    Who is Troy Findley?

    The Kansas Lieutenant Governor’s position is one that could easily be eliminated and save big money at the same time. The Kansas legislature with 40 state senators and 125 state house members could surely designate one of their members to fulfill the duties of this cobweby office. Or perhaps designate the Kansas Secretary of State to fill in when and if needed.

    I think he’s a local dentist isn’t he?

    The mudflaps on a truck one is following start to look familiar as well.

    I wonder if Findley is still hauling in that 100k per year salary as Chief of Staff?
