Bevin Makes Dick Move That Is Insulting to Dicks

jesus christ even Trump is more mature than this.  What's next? Bevin leaving a flaming bad of dog shit on Beshear's front porch?

And shame on Governor Lying Coward for exploiting Gold Star families in his infantile temper tantrum against Governor Steve Beshear.

Jack Brammer at the Herald:

The name of former first lady Jane K. Beshear has been removed from the Capitol Education Center on the grounds of the Kentucky Capitol.

Gone is the sign with her name in front of the building that serves as an education and welcoming facility for more than 60,000 guests to the Capitol campus every year. Gone are the plaques in the building that bore her name.

First Lady Jane Beshear introduced her husband Gov. Steve Beshear during the swearing-in ceremony Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2011 at the Capitol in Frankfort.  

 

The Bevin administration plans to rename the center, which sits adjacent to the Capitol and Executive Mansion, to honor Kentucky’s military heritage with the goal of special recognition to Kentucky’s “Gold Star” families, Pamela Trautner, spokeswoman for the state Finance and Administration Cabinet, said Thursday.

Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear named the center in his wife’s honor last November shortly before leaving office and soon after Republican Gov. Matt Bevin was elected to succeed him. Beshear said his wife was responsible for securing private donations to help outfit the center, including $250,000 from Duke Energy, and appliances for the center’s kitchen from General Electric.

Bevin and the Beshears have been at odds since early in the Bevin administration.

Bevin removed Jane Beshear in December as a member of the Kentucky Horse Park Commission, an appointment Steve Beshear had made. The two have accused each other of corruption in their administrations and the Beshears’ son, Attorney General Andy Beshear, has taken Bevin to court for making mid-year university budget cuts and revamping governing boards.

Steve Beshear said in an email Thursday night that “it’s certainly the governor’s prerogative to change the name on this building if he chooses.”

“I named it after Jane because she raised over $250,000 from the private sector to transform that old, abandoned building into a place where Kentucky schoolchildren visiting our Capitol could eat lunch and learn about different kinds of energy used in Kentucky,” he said. “She never sought any recognition for her efforts, but I was proud to surprise her by naming the building for her.”

Steve Beshear said he hopes Bevin leaves a plaque on the inside of the center “that tells how the first lady created it, because I’m sure our military families would want to know the story of how it came about.”

It's Class vs. Trash, and I don't have to tell you which is which.

Shop & Share Next Saturday, Feb. 4

We all know someone who has been the victim of domestic violence, whether we realize it or not. Shelters for them are always the last to be funded and the first to be cut, despite being literal life-savers for those who can find safety nowhere else.

From Kentucky First Lady Jane Beshear, who is light years better in every way than her husband:

Saturday, Feb. 4 is our annual Shop and Share Day to benefit victims of domestic violence.

On this day, volunteers will be at Kentucky Kroger stores from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. collecting donated goods for 15 Kentucky Domestic Violence Association (KDVA) shelters across the state. We’re also happy to have 13 Food City stores in Eastern Kentucky join us in collecting items for the first time this year.

If you don’t have time to shop on Feb. 4, you can still “share” by donating goods to bins in state office buildings. Shop and Share bins are located in the central lobbies of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, the State Office Building and outside the Governor’s Office in the State Capitol.

Please remember that shelters need more than just canned food to help support victims. They also need items such as toiletries, diapers and school supplies.

If you want to volunteer on Shop and Share Day, please visit http://firstlady.ky.gov/Pages/shopshare.aspx.

Our domestic violence shelters do a remarkable job helping victims to get back on their feet and regain control of their lives. Donating to Shop and Share is a simple way to help these shelters make a difference in victims’ lives.

And don't forget, direct cash donations to your local shelter are always needed and welcome.

Shop&Share Next Saturday

Via Jake, a reason to do your grocery shopping at Kroger next Saturday, and do it with generosity.

Kroger stores across the Commonwealth will hold the annual program to benefit the Kentucky Domestic Violence Association on Saturday, February 5 from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Canned goods, clothing, household basics and personal hygiene products are greatly needed. So next week, please consider waiting to do your grocery shopping on the weekend.

If you live outside Kentucky, ask your local grocery chain to launch its own Shop&Share.

First Lady Beshear at Lexington Farmer's Market Tuesday

If you live or work in Lexington, you of course patronize the Farmer's Market on the corner of South Broadway and Maxwell every Tuesday.

Even if you don't, swing on by next Tuesday, August 5, at noon.

First Lady Jane Beshear along with Commissioner of Agriculture Richie Farmer will commemorate “Farmers’ Market Week in Kentucky,” on Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2008 at 12:00 p.m. during the Lexington Farmers’ Market.

Kentucky’s farmers’ markets continue to provide a local marketplace for consumers, farmers and entrepreneurs. The First Lady encourages Kentuckians to visit their local markets, buy locally-grown food including Kentucky Proud products not only during this week but throughout the year.

If you're still eating grocery store tomatoes, shame on you. Buying your fruits and veggies from (mostly) local farmers helps the local economy, preserves the environment, and gives you the priceless gift of knowing how the Flying Spaghetti Monster intended real food to taste.

And if you have rude questions to pose to Jane and Richie, here's your chance.
