@RevDaniel He’s testing you.

Frankfort politicians are already underfunding our public schools. Local property owners should realize that if Amendment 2 passes, your local school district will have no choice but to raise your taxes to offset the loss of funding to unaccountable private schools.

@JoeBiden DC should be a state! Pass it ON!

@TweeetsOfDogs I always love seeing posts about dogs!

[Jason Bailey @jbaileyky]

It should go without saying, but of course Amendment 2 won't raise teacher salaries.

States that fund private school vouchers pay their teachers thousands of dollars a year less than states without them.

@ElissaSlotkin Done. I’m a former public school board member. Glad to give to a pro public school candidate, not a DeVos-endorsed candidate!

LPM story on how there's only one doctor diagnosing black lung claims for the state. The result? Fewer diagnosed cases; less care. The KY Leg stopped radiologists from diagnosing black lung. We should protect all workers. https://t.co/yJSr6yqGiz

This is a bad, even mean proposal:
House Bill 500 Takes Away Kentucky Workers’ Lunch and Rest Breaks and Cuts Their Pay   https://t.co/ciJMWN5De1

We should be ensuring children have what they need to do well in school so they can be successful workers as adults, not loosening child labor laws.

[KY House Democrats @kyhousedems]

.@kyhousedems members fought today against a national effort to roll back already-permissive child-labor laws. HB 255 "will not protect the life, health, safety & welfare of minors," Rep. @TinaForKentucky said. Instead, it will increase risk of injury & KY's dropout rate. #KYGA24

There is no reason the KY Legislature should reduce eligibility for SNAP benefits. It hurts families just getting by and reduces access to school lunches for many students.

[KY House Democrats @kyhousedems]

In what state @RepJosieRaymond called "the very definition of fiscal irresponsibility," the KY House voted today to spend more than $2 million in state tax dollars to stop more than $100 million in federal food benefits by reducing SNAP eligibility. #KYGA24
