Bevin's factory had safety violations

Since this is a day ending in y, there's a brand new scandal surrounding Republican gubernatorial candidate Matt Bevin - which the right-wing media is of course ignoring.

Bevin owned a bell factory in Connecticut that burned down in 2012. Back in 2011, an OSHA inspection found serious safety violations at Bevin's factory. The inspection was prompted by an employee complaint and found 11 violations, including 3 that put workers at risk of "danger of death or extremely serious injury or illness."

The violations resulted in Bevin being fined $25,880. After informal settlements, Bevin had to pay $12,575.

What a beezweezer.
