It is truly tragic that, at a time when we have the best governor in the United States in Kentucky, Governor Andy Beshear, we also have one of the three worst state legislature in the nation. The Kentucky state legislature has passed more destructive, unjustified, Right Wing Radical legislation in the current, nearly finished session than has been passed in Kentucky in the last hundred years. The legislature has passed numerous bills with the intent to hamstring the governor's ability to deal with the worst national and statewide crisis in many years. They have passed legislation intended to steal public education money from the school children of the state and give it to Right Wing Radical charter schools which will often, if not always, have connections to some of the most conservative churches in the nation. This particular legislation is a clear cut violation of the Separation Of Church And State clause in the US Constitution. There will be numerous legal challenges to nearly every piece of legislation which this legislature has passed the Right Wing Radical Repugnican Attorney General Daniel Cameron will waste millions of tax payer dollars to defend them when, if he had the best interests of the state in mind, he would challenge them himself. But this attorney general is, and always has been, a major part of the problems in Frankfort. He is simply one more cog in the Right Wing Radical Repugnican political machine constructed by Senator Mitch McConnell and owes his political existence to Mitch. The entire slate of statewide officers in Kentucky, other than Governor Beshear and Lieutenant Governor Coleman are part of the problem. Until we vote with the best interests of the entire state in mind and return statewide Democratic control of public offices this state and its citizens will suffer greatly.
In the upcoming 2022 elections, we have the opportunity to begin to correct the electoral mistakes of the past 20 years and defeat every Republican who is running for office. We must elect Democrats to every office. We must reverse the great majority of the legislation which has been passed by the state legislature in the past several years. And we must never again make the mistake of giving control of statewide offices and the state legislature to Right Wing Radical Repugnicans.
