Which is it? @JCTAKY and @KYEducators booed & jeered legislators who voted for the tax and budget bills, but now threaten to protest if the bills are vetoed...Really? Do they now support the tax & budget bills? Can’t have it both ways...So which is it? https://t.co/NtPxSigVFH
Thanks to @KyWhitney for an awesome break down of the recent budget & tax reform legislation. Some accomplishments include lowering personal income taxes for ALL KYians, fully funding KTRS, KERS, and SPRS pensions, and no funding for legislator pensions https://t.co/6XjEYzX2pj
We need that bourbon after Republican "leadership" just socked us with a bunch of new taxes. At least we had State Senator John Schickel opposing this assault on our earnings. Thank you Sir. https://t.co/6nScMt3VvI
These teachers are basically on strike and were in Frankfort to bully the Governor and State Legislators. What a great example they are for our students. https://t.co/saXHXMHGAe

GOP tax plan RAISES personal income tax on the poorest of working poor by 40% (goes from 3% to 5%) and RAISES it 20% on working middle class (from 4% to 5%)
GOP takes that money from workers to pay for an 18% tax CUT for both - the richest individuals & wealthiest corporations.
The 1st ever Republican budget bill has been released:
-highest per pupil SEEK funding in history, $4,000 per student
-Makes full ARC payment to the retirement system
-Restores all student transportation cuts.
-Pay increase for State Police and social workers (1/2)
