.@JCPSKY can’t seem to follow laws passed in Frankfort, but begs for as much taxpayer money as possible.
Legislators are weary of its failure in almost every category.
Maybe it’s time to rethink funding for failure & lawbreaking. #kyga24

This.
Before we can expect better from voters and the leaders they pick, we might have to expect better from the media and social media from which our common, non-hysterical understandings are made, writes Holman Jenkins

The first item today is House Bill 213, relating to occupational therapists.
Rep. @DJforKY is testifying on his bill along with Brigadier Gen. Bullard, Executive Director of the Commission on Military Affairs.
The bill passes unanimously and goes to the consent calendar.

Thank you @RandPaul, @MilesForKY, & @DJforKY for addressing the @KYSTATEFOP this morning. The members support what you all do in both Frankfort as well as in D.C. Thank you for supporting law enforcement! @KYHouseGOP @kyrustyashcraft

Just received the sad news that Representative Bam Carney has passed away. Bam was a tremendous legislator, a great friend, and one of the best people I’ve ever known. A true role model. Rest In Peace, my friend.

The job of a parent is to protect their children, so I guess we are at an impasse.
The job of a union is to protect its members' rights, and that's exactly what @AFTunion will always do. xitter.cf/ICURUOK1/status/141387…

The Interim Joint Committee Natural Resources and Energy, co-chaired by Representative Jim Gooch meets this afternoon to hear about the Low Income Energy Assistance Program Block Grant Application and to receive an update about new mines. Watch now KET.org!

The slap heard around KY occurred today to KY’s workforce who showed up daily to work & never stopped working during the pandemic. A $1,500 incentive to the first 15,000 currently unemployed Kentuckians to re-enter the workplace?!? How about we end the govt handouts instead!

So, Andy Beshear blows up round 1 bc it didn't give Passport a contract bc it would cost his buddy Tommy Elliot money. Then, a Beshear transition team member helps fix the bid for her new boss on rd 2. Now they're gonna have to bid it again. 🤦♂️🤦♂️ xitter.cf/joesonka/status/138753…

The Senate State & Local Gov Cmte passed HB 238 after testimony from @BryannaCarroll & @DJforKY. The KLC initiative will help cities find the most knowledgeable and skilled people to serve on utility commissions. It now goes to the Senate for consideration. #KYGA21

I enjoyed meeting today with @fleming_ken and @DJforKY and look forward to working with them and other members of the General Assembly during #kyga21.

This is a ridiculous statement by @GovAndyBeshear There has been zero effort on his part to work with the legislature and seek our input on behalf of our constituents during this entire pandemic. For him to try to mislead Kentuckians shows a serious lack of leadership. #KYGA21 – at Georgetown, KY
For those of you still holding on to your democrat registration, this is your party leadership. Nancy Pelosi refuses to denounce socialism as she seeks another term as speaker foxnews.com/politics/nancy-p… #FoxNews

Kentucky and Colorado have both used the same private vendor to help clear backlogs of unprocessed unemployment claims.
For its contract price, Colorado paid about $50 to resolve each claim, while Kentucky is on track to pay more than $125 per claim courier-journal.com/story/ne…

Everyday I get calls, emails, & letters from people who still have not received unemployment checks. 45% of KYs workforce has claimed unemployment during the pandemic. I’m asking Gov Beshear to fix this. Resolve the backlog of UI claims & re-open the economy. #KYBacktoWork

Put your mask on, hypocrite. #KYGov
