When Congressman James Comer left his seat in the statehouse (the seat I held through last year) to serve Kentucky in Washington, D.C., he promised he would hold the capital swamp creatures’ feet to the fire and ensure they begin working for us, not against us. He promised he would do everything in his power to make them good stewards of Kentuckians’ taxpayer dollars and that they would only intervene in our affairs when the public interest demands it.

While we believed him when we elected him, he’s now exceeded all reasonable expectations. The Western Kentucky University graduate, who now chairs the powerful House Oversight Committee, has slowly but surely matured into one of the most effective legislators in this commonwealth’s history.

I don’t think that “ matured“ is the proper term here, he was hardened (like some of my friends), by some thing. maybe they were abducted by aliens?
Comer has done nothing to make anybody to think that he is one of the most effective (at what?) legislators in history, but try to blow smoke up decent hard-working people’s nether regions. I don’t think that that counts.

He did none of those things. First he broke his promise, then he would have broke your heart, if you had one!! Comer is a typical big Republican liar. Take what they say and turn it around 180 degrees, then you are getting warm. This author apparently is suffering from childlike naïveté or doesn’t have two brain cells to rub together.
Just another tour of Rep talking points. I'm from DC - no freshman congressman can even go to the bathroom without permission from the party leadership. To hold that Comer is singlehandedly 'draining the swamp' (or anything else) is absurd. Comer is already a part of the Establishment by definition. This author also invokes Bevin's contempt for State workers as social parasites. Clueless.
Personally I think if the House oversight committee and all those Federal workers that had stopped working plus a big chunk of congress and other federal workers were cut out like you would a rotten place in an apple - we’d be a lot better off .
Greene on an oversite committee Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Kentuckians tax $ this author claims is flowing to Washington and is wasted ? That’s a false statement and easy research. Tax $ to Ky from the blue states that are donor states to our nation’s Government . Ky is a dependency state and for every dollar Ky sends to Washington , Ky get $3.50 +- back!
That’s for all the Federally assisted grants you here about . Kentucky is fourth in the nation receiving Federal aid - Comer is more like the Simpson Homer? A nominal , comical character ,not very bright and is a safety inspector of a nuclear power plant .
The author of this misleading story was replaced by Comer! Wow ! What does that say ?
State-Journal.com’s comments forum is for civil, constructive dialogue about news topics in our community, state, nation and world. We emphasize “civil” at a time when Americans, in the words of the current president, need to “turn down the temperature” of political debates. The State Journal will do its part by more carefully policing this forum. Here are some rules that all commenters must agree to follow:
Absolutely no attacks on other commenters, on guest columnists or on authors of letters to the editor. Our print and online opinion pages are sacred marketplaces of ideas where diverse viewpoints are welcome without fear of retribution. You may constructively critique the ideas and opinions of others, but name-calling, stereotyping and similar attacks are strictly prohibited.
Leeway will be given for criticism of elected officials and other public figures, but civility is essential. If you focus your criticism on ideas, opinions and viewpoints, you will be less likely to run afoul of our commenting rules.
Keep comments focused on the article or commentary in question. Don’t use an article about the Frankfort City Commission, for example, to rant about national politics.
Hyperpartisanship that suggests anyone on the other side of an issue or anyone in a particular particular party is evil is not welcome. If you believe that all Democrats are socialists intent on destroying America or that all Republicans are racists, there are lots of places on the internet for you to espouse those views. State-Journal.com is not one.
No sophomoric banter. This isn’t a third-grade classroom but rather a place for serious consumers of news to offer their reactions and opinions on news stories and published commentary.
No consumer complaints about individual businesses. If you’ve had a bad experience with a private business or organization, contact the Better Business Bureau or the government agency that regulates that business. If you believe the actions of a private business are newsworthy, contact us at news@state-journal.com and we will consider whether news coverage is merited.
Absolutely no jokes or comments about a person’s physical appearance.
No promotion of commercial goods or services. Our outstanding staff of marketing consultants stands ready to help businesses with effective advertising solutions.
If you state facts that have not been previously reported by The State Journal, be sure to include the source of your information.
No attacks on State Journal staff members or contributing writers. We welcome questions about, and criticism of, our news stories and commentary but not of the writers who work tirelessly to keep their community informed. Corrections of inaccurate information in news stories should be sent to news@state-journal.com rather than posted in the comments section.

Probably can’t drain his ( in In Old English) blaedre without getting it everywhere?
Neither Comer or any of the GOP in KY legislature make me proud! Kentucky republicans are an embarrassment.

gomer?? comer?? shazzamm!!.
Anymore, when a Republican makes an accusation it turns out to be an admission, in what is called projection. Comer is a capital swamp creature!
Is it swamp creature or muck monster? The Grootslang according to legend ( and Wikipedia) is a huge ELEPHANT like creature with a serphents tail !
