There are three candidates, so far, for Governor of Kentucky
in the next cycle, Matt Bevin, Andy Beshear and Rocky
Adkins.
Kentucky currently has a tax and revenue system that is
cutting edge state of the art if you were living in 1948. None of the current candidates have a clue
how to address the issue.
Bevin, is attempting to make Sam
Brownback look good as a Governor.
Beshear is recycling his Dad’s idea of legalizing
gambling as a panacea for the problem.
Adkins, well Adkins has been in the state legislature for 31 years, one
would think if he had a clue what to do he would have already tried to do it.
The problem with
Kentucky’s finances has been, and still is, a group effort, Governors and
Legislatures for several decades have exhibited a monumental level of
incompetence. This is not a Democrat or
Republican problem. This is a
professional politician problem. They will say or do anything to get elected.
A candidate that comes up with a plan to term
limit the legislature, tax the service industry, reduce the tax breaks that
give away over fifty percent (billions of dollars) of the tax revenue to
special interests, that will be a candidate I can support.
