Republican Gov. Matt Bevin of Kentucky railed against The Courier Journal, the state's largest newspaper, after it announced it had partnered with the Pulitzer Prize-winning nonprofit news group ProPublica for a year-long investigation of a "government program" in Kentucky. Bevin expressed concern for The Journal's upcoming investigation "of some organization within Kentucky." The Journal has published investigations of Bevin as recently September, including one in which he allowed a 134% salary increase — or $215,000 — to an Army friend and business associate who worked as the state's chief information officer for 10 months.
