Governor Beshear Disappoints Again

Today, Governor Beshear vetoed HB 1, again missing the opportunity to improve Kentucky’s K-12 educational outcomes by giving parents a greater role, control, influence, and choice for educating their children.

Now the General Assembly must again do the people’s work of looking out for our children by giving them the opportunity to get the best education possible through giving them choice. The General Assembly will proceed with overriding the veto, the final step for HB 1 to become law. The Secretary of State will then be assigned to inform the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury that Kentucky will participate in the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit program.
