The extension of enhanced premium tax credits, which make health coverage more affordable for millions of Americans, are at the center of the shutdown debate.

If they're allowed to expire, costs on kynect will explode.

[KyPolicy @KyPolicy]

Life is expensive enough without health care costs exploding even more. Congress has a chance to stop this and it should.

NEW: In most Kentucky school districts, educators received little to no raise this year, despite everyone's cost of living going up.

Inadequate state funding is at the root of this problem, which is why lawmakers should invest $718 million in public education in the next budget.

NEW: As Kentucky students head back to school, state funding for K-12 education continues to fall well below past efforts, preventing overdue investments to shrink class size, increase student supports and hire more teachers and bus drivers.

[Jason Bailey @jbaileyky]

As Kentucky kids head back to school, the funding gap between wealthy and poor school districts grew again last year to $4,247 per student. Adjusted for inflation, that's a 13.6% bigger gap than it was in 1990 when the state passed KERA to address insufficient school funding. 1/2

KY voters want to improve public schools. Here’s one great way lawmakers could do so

The government unfairly denies educators the Social Security benefits they earned. That needs to change! The House passed legislation to repeal GPO and WEP. Now it’s the Senate’s turn! Please contact senators Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell. https://t.co/tsGSeEPw9G

[Lee E Campbell @CampbellsVoice]

Thank you to EVERY member of Kentucky’s House delegation for voting YES on H.R. 82, the Social Security Fairness Act, which would repeal the unfair GPO/WEP! @RepJamesComer @RepGuthrie @RepMcGarvey @RepThomasMassie @RepHalRogers @RepAndyBarr

When you cast your ballot tomorrow, please remember to protect our students, schools, and communities, and Vote NO on Voucher Amendment 2! #VoteNOon2 #protectourschoolsKY

[KEA @KYEducators]

Breathitt county's largest employer is its public school system. High school teacher Scott Hollan says passage of Amendment 2 will hurt his county tremendously. School vouchers would cut 35 educator jobs and cost schools $5.1 million. Vote NO on Amendment 2! #VoteNOon2

[KEA @KYEducators]

Melissa McBride is a special ed teacher in Webster county. She doesn't want public taxes paying private school tuition for kids already in private school, or funding unaccountable schools that can pick which kids they choose to accept. Vote NO on Ballot Amendment 2! #VoteNOon2

[KEA @KYEducators]

Retired Hardin county teacher Michael Kral is voting NO on Ballot Amendment 2 because he says it's a voucher bill plain and simple. He believes our public schools are what builds our communities. #protectourschoolsKY #VoteNOon2

Amendment 2 is about vouchers, and here’s what they are: 1/3
