Better start digging holes james. You commonwealth country men will let you down.

It will never make it to a vote.......but if I were king, all those Republican voters who either did not vote, or refused to vote for Bevin and instead voted for Beshear, would lose their rights to own a gun because of their contributing to the election of a Democrat.

Can I use my post hole digger that mounts to my tractor? Or do I have to dig them by hand.

Gov.-elect Andy Beshear could inherit an estimated $1.1 billion budget shortfall over the next two fiscal years, according to a memo from Gov. Matt Bevin's budget director.

The Monday memo from John Chilton comes as Beshear, a Democrat, faces a tight deadline for drafting his proposed two-year budget to present to the General Assembly, which is controlled by Republicans. Beshear must submit his proposal by late January for a budget that runs from July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2022....


...Sen. Chris McDaniel, R-Taylor Mill, the chairman of the Senate budget committee, said that legislators expected to face considerably increased costs over this period involving pensions and Medicaid expansion, but that this total surprised him.

"We knew that there was going to be a hole of some ilk," McDaniel said. "This number is a lot bigger than anything that we anticipated, though."

Beshear talked the talk that teachers, state employees and Medicaid recipients wanted to hear and got himself elected.

Now it's time for him to try to figure out how to walk the walk:

Bevin administration says Kentucky faces $1.1 billion budget shortfall over next two years




I remember way back to the 1967 gubernatorial election in Kentucky, the Republican Lying Louie Nunn got himself elected on the no new taxes platform, then as soon as he got in office................well, folks, things were worse than I realized, we're going to have to raise taxes after all. A 5 cent sales tax, Nunn's Nickel it was known as. Cost him re-election too.

It irritates the snot out of me when voters seek to "punish" a particular candidate or party, by either not voting at all or voting for the opposition, as all the idiots accomplish is to hurt the people. There were many Republican voters couldn't stand to vote for McCain or Romney, and because they didn't vote, it gave us Obama. Heck, I didn't like those two either, but I liked Obama even less, so I voted for them.

Even though I'm a Republican, and liked most of what Bevin was doing, I found myself not caring for him personally, but the thought of either not voting at all, or voting for Beshear, never entered into my mind. Kentucky's voter are going to reap what they sowed in November, although I'm guessing Beshear won't get much of his agenda passed.

Border states are dangerous territory.

More Californians moving to Tennessee?

This thread is about Kentucky.

That said, I'm sure many are leaving in droves, hopefully because they are tired of giving their money to the enemy.

The representative who wrote up that bill is from a small, fairly well to do community in Louisville. He has about 7500 constituents.

I'm no fan of Beshear. But even *he* is a Blue Dog Democrat. He knows that gun control won't fly in Kentucky.

A representative with 7500 constituents in one of the most liberal communities in the state can get away with writing a gun control bill that he knows will be dead on arrival. But he knows that it will be treated like a piece of toilet paper when it's dealt with in Frankfort.

Kentucky is a long, long way from passing an assault weapons bill.

I doubt that's the case. As a matter of fact, Yankees are moving here in droves, looking to escape the chit states they live in.

However, frustrating that Beshear is not even in office yet, and the B.S. has already started...
