Andy Beshear

Please join Britainy and me as we pray for their families during this difficult time.

We’ve sadly already received reports of fatalities that we are working to confirm, and we need everyone to stay alert and do what’s needed to keep each other safe.

the executive branch is co-equal and the governor is actually the governor.

It’ll not permanently fix the problem.

I’ve never used people as political pawns and I never will.

This isn’t guaranteed funding that only the General Assembly can provide through the budget unit.

What a bipartisan approach could look like was coming back and Democrats and Republicans voting together to fund it moving forward.

While this funding is being received years later, it couldn’t come at a better time, as our hospitals face challenges due to federal Medicaid cuts.

This $105 million will make a difference for these hospitals and the Kentucky families who depend on them, which is why today’s news is so great.

What our hospitals did during the pandemic is nothing short of heroic, and my administration worked hard to make sure the reimbursements they were owed under the president’s emergency declaration were delivered.

We can and we should and we must center on this issue if we are ever going to make Kentucky the best place in America to be young.

Any data center that wants to look at Kentucky is going to have to pay for 100% of its own energy.

And if it needs new means of production, it needs to pay for those, too.

As an example, Gov. Andy Beshear can impact almost 60,000 kids’ economic status immediately by enhancing support to – rather than ripping away resources from – kinship families.

General Matter announced a $1.5 billion investment in Paducah. This company will change our nation’s energy economy in profound ways and bring modern nuclear power to our state.

If you’re a city or county, you shouldn’t be threatened by your legislature. It’s really unfortunate, because Kentucky families are the ones that pay the price for those political games, and the prices are going to continue.

Under this plan, we may be able to blunt about half of the devastating cuts from the General Assembly.

These are extraordinary measures, and we’ll see if the General Assembly means what they said, that I have flexibility, or if it was just meant to shift blame for the cuts they know they were making.

The pressure that they put on counties and cities, saying that they might take some of their projects away from them in the budget, is probably the reason they withdrew.

That’s my job, to stand in between those bullies and these individuals that have these very serious conditions that are saying ‘just give me something that isn’t addictive, that isn’t opioids, and that can help me.’

I mean, that’s a complete lack of humanity.

I think they’re being made against him too.

We would have had a lot of them, but some of our Republican state legislators basically threatened them in an open committee meeting, saying they might pull their projects from the road plan.

So, I want to thank everybody who had the courage to say, ‘I want gas to cost less in my community,’ but gas is going to go up in a lot of Kentucky by 10 cents where it didn’t have to.

So I lowered the gas tax by 10 cents. I have the power to do that for 30 days, and then county judges or mayors have to ask to re-up.
