Andy Beshear Accomplishments
Posted: Wed Aug 16, 2023 11:02 am
As a registered democrat I get offended when people say Andy Beshear hasn't accomplished much. In fact, I have quite a list started. Andy has LOTs of accomplishments and things he did to, I mean for Kentuckians!
Just for starters
* He locked us down and killed businesses and education with insane executive orders that other states were not doing.
* He accomplished not getting unemployment benefits to those he put out of work due to his lock downs. Some even more than a year later not receiving their benefits.
* There are fewer Kentuckians working today than the day Andy Beshear took office. Despite all of his talk about the economy being “on fire,”
* He pressed for abortion clinics to stay open even after being found operating outside the law.
* He fought relinquishing his executive lock down powers so he could keep all the control and not work with the other branches of power.
* He vetoed the bill that would lower state income tax. Then the Republican leadership overrode the veto, but he at least ran a ad listing lowering it as an accomplishment of his admin.
* He hasn't missed a photo op this year taking credit for several businesses that didn't come because of him but because of the policies and laws being put in by other legislative branches.
* He had state police harass church goers and put notices on their cars that they would be quarantined for going to socially distanced church services while allowing big box stores to cram people in and stand over top of each other and also supporting riots and other "friendly demonstrations" that resulted in property destruction and injuries) .
* He is over promising state funds touting a great budget year but not understanding it is from Taxation from Inflation. (That his covid policies helped fuel)
* Drugs and crime rising to historic highs. During his time in office, Louisville has reached the highest number of homicides in history, even outpacing Chicago and Philadelphia’s homicide rates. These homicides are not confined to our urban centers, either: in 2020, rural Kentucky saw a nearly 70 percent increase in homicides on Andy Beshear’s watch.
* When crises strike, Andy Beshear is quick to jump in front of the cameras but botches the actual response. If it wasn't for not for profits like Catholic and Baptist or Christian groups as well as others stepping in a lot of aid would have never happened.
* He has fought hard against parents’ rights and his education commissioner is pushing a radical agenda in our schools.
* He has vetoed bills banning biological boys from competing in girls’ sports and preventing minors from accessing sex change surgery and puberty blockers.
* He vetoed a bill requiring a photo ID to vote, Andy Beshear said requiring a photo contributed to “undermining our democracy.” He further doubled down on his weak election security measure by vetoing a series of bipartisan reforms like placing voting machines under video surveillance during non-voting hours.
How can you deny all these accomplishments?
Don't forget under Andy's Daddy Education was in shambles. Matt Bevin was the first governor of Kentucky to fully fund the pension system, and the first to use 100 percent of lottery funds for education, Under Bevin, Kentucky spent more per K-12 pupil than ever before. But Andy's attack ads and Bevins arrogance won out for Andy in the end. So another accomplishment. Wining with untrue attack ads then scolding attack ads in the next election even though he is putting them out too. .
