Talk:Jack Conway (politician)

message: I've been doing some work on this article because, if Conway is elected governor, the article would need to reach Good Article status to keep the Governors of Kentucky Good Topic intact. (I plan to work on Bevin, too, but there's less out there about him, so I thought I'd start here.) I propose removing the following paragraph: 
In November 2009, Conway asked Governor Steve Beshear to set execution dates for three men on death row. This was criticized by opponents of the death penalty. The Kentucky Supreme Court decided to stay executions until the Kentucky Department of Corrections follows mandatory administrative procedures.
The second sentence is vague in terms of who criticized the decision to ask for the death warrants, and it is uncited. I suspect that these criticisms may have been of the use of the death penalty itself, not necessarily Conway's decision to ask for the warrants. The third sentence is specifically tagged as uncited. I have found reference to the case in question, but the decision had nothing to do with Conway. It seems to have hinged on the Department of Corrections not properly dotting i's and crossing t's. So really, we're left with the fact that Conway requested three death warrants, none of which have actually been served due to administrative and legal delays. Perhaps this is an indication that Conway is pro-death-penalty, or perhaps this is just part of his job that he is required to do regardless. I honestly don't know. If the former, maybe it merits mention in the "Positions" section. Otherwise, it should be deleted entirely, imo. I'll leave this here for comment, with the understanding that, after an appropriate amount of time, silence equals consent. Acdixon (talk · contribs) 17:39, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Remove.  It reads like an ordinary detail of his job, followed by unreferenced statements. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 18:14, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
