The Republican was the incumbent. He managed to belittle and diminish every teacher in the state, allowing Beshear to squeak out a victory.
Sometimes people have no foresight.
As far as belittling teachers....many of them need more than belittling. If KY has a strong Teachers Union though, you MUST be forced to LOVE them. Unions killed all GOP in NJ.
Hope the upcoming election is better for the state.
That governor was trying to restore some fiscal sanity in the teacher & state employees’ retirement\benefit package. Kentucky has one of worst funding to liability - 2008 it was the worst in the nation.
The republican governor got demagogued out of office over it!
