Ant Farm Andy slashes senior meals

Back in 2019, I didn't know Kentucky was electing a Tea Party governor, but what a disaster Andy Beshear has been.

WKDZ radio reports that funding will "evaporate" for home delivered meals for the elderly across the state because of cuts by Beshear. In some parts of the state, over half its funding will be slashed.

Beshear said funding for vital programs like this will be cut at least until the next legislative session.

Yet he approved a handout for the wealthiest among us in the form of an income tax measure that continued to gut the state's progressive income tax - thus prolonging Matt Bevin's policy that drove economic turmoil and drained human potential from the state. You can't claim that you're tightening the belt for everyone when you're just giving more handouts to the rich.

It's always austerity and scraps for the 99%, but free money for the 1%.
