In the Kentucky Legislature, three regressive conservative bills have been passed or are about to be passed...
1. Passed on the One Year anniversary of the worst school shooting in US history -- A bill that would allow firearms practically anywhere, open or concealed, with no permits, and no training. What could possibly go wrong?
2. A bill that ends net metering and screws over anyone who has invested in solar technology, thus pandering to the electric utilities and the coal industry. Renewable energy is one of the major hopes for poverty-stricken eastern Kentucky, but our Legislature is still under control of coal and the electric utilities that use coal.
3. A bill that would make all abortions illegal if Roe v Wade is ever reversed -- yet our governor supports adoptions by Christian couples -- not bi-racial, not gay, probably not Jewish...
And from the Tennessee Valley Authority, some good news.
Closing of a coal-fired power plant in western Kentucky by the TVA -- over the objections of Governor Bevin, Senator McConnell, AND President Trump! The three republicans wanted TVA to keep the plant open because it used coal purchased from the Murray company, Murray being a main campaign contributor to all three politicians.
