Bevin's Secret Budget to Turn Kentucky Into Prime Shithole

"I'm eliminating 70 programs and cutting essential services 6 percent, but I'm not telling you which ones until after you approve it."

The only answer to this arrogant rubbish is a loud raspberry and screaming laughter.

Any legislator who falls for this fiduciary and political crime should be run out of Frankfort on a rail.

From the Herald:

Gov. Matt Bevin proposed a two-year state budget Tuesday night that would eliminate “about 70” state government programs and cut spending at many state agencies by 6.25 percent. 

Bevin, who provided lawmakers with highlights of his plan in a sparsely attended 7 p.m. speech, did not immediately list the programs he wants to eliminate or which agencies will be spared from budget cuts. Unlike previous governors, Bevin did not brief the media on details of his proposal ahead of his speech.
Typical of business creeps with no public service experience, Gov. I Got Mine Fuck You has no clue how government and state budgets work.

Tax money spent on public services that improve the health and well-being of Kentucky's residents is not "spending." It's investment.  The returns on that investment is the education and health care that grows a strong economy. 

Bevin is following the Brownback budget-stripping script that turned Kansas into Haiti-on-the-Prairie.

You have 10 calendar days and eight working days to file to run against the spineless worms in the General Assembly who are about to vote for that monstrosity.  DO IT NOW.

So if he doesn't specify the programs he will kill, those who care about the vulnerable people he will harm will not know until it's too late. Is that the way it works?
