March 25, 201115 yr Sounds like you had better have a day job if you want to be a legislator in the Commonwealth of Kentucky . No doubt. All of the ones from around here that I have known or known their families have always had other jobs. Most have owned their own business.
March 25, 201115 yr No doubt. All of the ones from around here that I have known or known their families have always had other jobs. Most have owned their own business. I have an Uncle who was in the State Legislature for 25 years ( he retired in the 90 's ) . Loved getting his Rupp tickets:D . He was dedicated to the people he served . He wasn't a lawyer or businessman he was like me trained as a union pipefitter , and had to give up many a construction job to go serve in Frankfort , it affected his union pension and cost him plenty , but I never heard him complain about it . He was influential in a lot of anti-abortion Legislation and helped write the lottery bill , and was House Majority caucus leader for a while . Very respected here in NKy by both parties .
March 25, 201115 yr Folks this special session just like the regular session is all about the race for the Governors office. Beasher is smart to call a special session to allow David "P" Williams to hang him self for being a jack rabbit. What is bad is this special session isn't saving money. It is adding money to the pockets of people that can't make decisions. I am so tired of elected officials. Both parties are wasting too much money and time.
