.@mckcantrell making excellent points about the serious problems created by stripping the SOS’s position. Statewide Constitutional offices are set up for independence for good reason. #kyga19#kyhousedems @KyTonight
“...we had the highest records of funding for education in the last legislative session...” -Rep. Carney yes @BamCarney we get it...why don’t you add to that with those levels are still 16% below where need to be and at 2008 levels #kyga19
Please don’t think that when legislators like @damon_thayer & @BamCarney say that they raised SEEK funding to the highest levels in decades that they did something so amazing. School SEEK funding are still 16% underfunded and only at 2008 levels of funding. #kyga19
When Damon Thayer says he wants a “consumption based tax” that’s code for a regressive tax that places burden on the back of working families. It does not promote “job creation.” @KyTonightKET#kyga19
@ReneeKET Can @BamCarney or @damon_thayer explain why the KY GOP continues to reject all the revenue bills that were brought to the table this session? Why are we not discussing and passing bills that generate revenue?? #KYGA19
