Episode 11, "Bloody Bevin and the Patriot's Shuffle", Notes

#bevinwatch2016The big story over the last few days is the Kentucky Supreme Court's decision to call the Governor's mid-year budget cuts to higher education illegal. Some consider this a victory, but the fact of the matter is, the new budget cuts are still in place, still perfectly legal. It's not a victory when there are still a lot of effective and passionate educators and necessary staff people out of a job. Recently, Bevin has said that he plans on pushing through Right to Work legislation. According to the Governor,governors from states with RtW laws have told him they are better for it. We're going to take yet another look at Right to Work with some information about the impact it has had on Wisconsin.These two news stories are soft and fuzzy, however, compared his statement at the D. James Kennedy Center for Christian Statesmanship last week, in which he proclaimed that "the blood of patriots" may need to be spilled if Hillary Clinton wins the election. We at the Kentucky Muck Podcast have reached out repeatedly to the Bevin Administration Communications Office asking for clarification on these remarks. Not surprisingly, we have been roundly ignored.Feel free to reach out to them yourself. Jessica Ditto, who has been Bevin's main Communications Manager since the campaign, is out of the office indefinitely. Amanda Stamper, however, is not. At least, we are reasonably sure. She hasn't answered either.Amanda [email protected] [email protected]#trump&hillarywatch2016The election season is nearly over, and the rhetoric has geared up.
