FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Flexing their political muscle, Republican lawmakers on Monday swept aside the Democratic governor’s vetoes of bills to change retirement benefits for new teachers and potentially shield legislative records from public scrutiny.
Shortly after gaveling in after a nearly two-week break, the GOP-dominated legislature turned to sweeping aside a stack of vetoes by Gov. Andy Beshear. The override votes spanned hours, from early afternoon and continuing into the late night. Some of the overrides stripped away parts of the governor’s executive authority, shifting the power to statewide Republican officeholders.
It continued a theme throughout the contentious legislative session. The governor has hinted he expected more court challenges to some vetoed bills if they become law. Beshear and Republican legislative leaders already are waging a court fight over previous measures that threatened to invalidate the governor’s executive orders to try to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Nonsensical headline.
Kentucky baffles me at times too...as red as red can get...yet they vote in far left Governors...weird.
Nonsensical writing. Gibberish in print!
GOPe using their POWER in Kentucky. The Rat Playbook 101 is the same in the new decade: there’s no point in having power if you don’t use it (to crush your enemies). That’s how Cold Civil Wars work. We are not a nation anymore.
Next, IMPEACHMENT!
“Kentucky baffles me at times too...as red as red can get...yet they vote in far left Governors...weird.”
Well, South Dakota voted for what they thought was a conservative Republican governor, but only to find out that she answers to special interests first.
Maybe they didn’t, a.k.a. Biden-style.

Both Far Leftist rags
Need I say more?
Kentucky and to an even greater degree, West Virginia, still cling to what is otherwise a largely dieing mentality. They still think it is 1935 and Roosevelt is in the white hut. They want both guns and food stamps.
The people already tried it. The useless RINO’s entertained this just for red meat theatre for the base in front of the cameras earlier this year then quickly tossed it as the cameras faded.
speaking of “red” state..”blue” state....in 1980, Blue states were Republican, Red were the donks......when did it switch and why??...wonder who’s idea that was...
Presidential election coverage used to switch red/blue back and forth until 2000.
The colors by the media used to alternate every 4 years until the second communist Bush.
peaking of “red” state..”blue” state....in 1980, Blue states were Republican, Red were the donks......when did it switch and why??...wonder who’s idea that was...>>> MY guess the Media. Because red was commie and they didn’t want the Deocommie party to remind people they were in fact commies.
I think they had all switched to the current color coding in 1984 and stayed there. YouTube vids of each election can be found showing that.
I’m not sure but I don’t like the switch. Red is practically the official color for communist countries so it would be more fitting for Democrats.
