Hot damn.

I was concerned that King Andy was able to veto the bill so late that the legislature would not have the opportunity to override.

I expect Andy's minions to be in court tomorrow seeking to block the law. He's done that on every other piece of sensible legislation from the get go. He, like all of his leftist despotic brethren, believe in rule by executive order and judicial fiat. Piss on the elected legislature writing law.

The Rep ran a horrible campaign, but it’s all good. As long as Republicans control the legislature, that checks him.

You would be amazed how many people don’t know what they vote for their advice comes from ads and media.

There were videos of his challenger losing votes as election night unfolded.

It’s was in late 2020 after that election fiasco that someone posted the video showing that losing votes is a real thing.

So there’s the possibility that’s not the Governor Kentucky elected.

Several reasons.
*Family name. Beshears are a KY dynasty. Daddy was governor (also corrupt) People are stupid and vote for family names.

*Matt Bevin tried to do too much of the right thing (reforming KY pensions) too soon. He also went head on with the state employees unions - particularly the teachers union. He pointedly called them what they are - publicly - bad PR. He got creamed for that.

*Beshear won by a little more than 4K votes, carrying some counties that usually vote 90% Republican (yeah)

*Louisville and Lexington are uber leftist.

*Beshear promised to keep the unsustainable pension gravy train running for the state employees and teachers

*If Bevin had left the pension reform until a lame duck second term he would be governor now.

Not as well as you would think. We have a 3 month, part time legislature. Beshear's favorite tactic is writing illegal EOs the other nine months knowing nothing can be done until the next January. He fooked us royally with covid restrictions that way. And as soon as the next legislative session over ruled those EOs he went straight to the hard left state supreme court to get them stopped. Usually successfully.

"But opponents like Sen. Karen Berg (D-Louisville), whose transgender son died of suicide in December, said the bill is "assuring that our young gay and trans students do not have a safe adult at school that they can reach out to.

"We are making sure that they cannot do that without fear of being outed. We are making sure that students cannot see themselves in our art or our literature. We are trying to erase them," Berg said."

SBerg's self-pwn is exactly why she lost her child.

Some of it is being he was not considered a Kentuckian. He was born in Colorado and raised in liberal New Hampshire. He only moved to the state in 1999. I live across the river in Indiana but my parents live in Ky and they felt he was a rino to some degree and just stayed home.

So I think he partially just didnt raise much enthusiasm although sure he would be better than a democrap.
