The Truth of how Kentucky's State House is Run!
On November 8th, 2016, two things happened in Kentucky. Kentucky went all GOP for the first time in 95 years, and Donald J. Trump became the 45th President of the United States. This is about the former rather than the latter. What I have to say may or may not come to a surprise, but it needs to be said. True conservatives that are hoping to see true conservative legislation passed by the Kentucky State House are going to be greatly disappointed. The Speaker of the House, Jeffrey Hoover, is a Republican Party man, not a true conservative. Unfortunately, this means Frankfort will continue to be business as usual. Lobbyists will continue to thrive as they influence legislation that gets heard on the House floor. The Department of Commerce will continue to dictate what gets the attention and what gets dismissed. Those with deep pockets will continue to pay to play. Those with actual principles who were newly elected on November 8th continue to basically be told to shut up or be threatened with being removed from their committees. The voters of those districts who sent newly elected representatives are simply not being given representation but yet are taxed just the same. Things must change and the only way things will change is if enough voters like me continue to show resolve to change the way Frankfort operates. This can only happen if people that have been in Frankfort for many years are replaced. They must be replaced by people who are not bought and sold by the lobbyists. Your representative whether they have been there 10 years or 5 months deserve to have their voices heard on the House floor because their voice is YOUR voice.
