Leslie Hoffman w/ DMS gives background for #kyga20’s HB352 that directed Dept. of Medicaid Services & the Dept. of Corrections to develop & submit an 1115 waiver to cover SUD treatment. #SUDWaiver
Just talked to spox for the Jefferson County Clerk, with easily the most Democratic voters in the state and the biggest factor in #kysen results. A few things:
Based on past statements from county/state election officials, we expected Jefferson County results to come Tuesday after 6pm, but they will come earlier. Spox says these likely will be sent to state that morning & then posted publicly -- including all early and mail-ins. #kysen
JeffCo spox also said they don't have a final figure for how many absentee ballots were mailed in, but should have that number soon. Said there were ~100 in a bin to go over whether signature was correct, plus waiting on a few counties to FedEx ballots sent to wrong address.
Senate budget proposes to withhold over $500M/year from the Teachers' Retirement System unless there are "structural changes" to teacher pensions (benefit cuts). If that doesn't happen by Aug. of '21/'22, TRS will lose that year's money and it will go to KERS NH. Really. #kyga20
The language actually says August 1 "of the respective fiscal year." That means August 1, 2020 for the first $500 million. Or a few months from now. Which means they'd have to pass a bill before this session ends.
I’ll be watching and tweeting any and all education mentions 👇 — expect there to be quite a few. #sotc #kyga20
As our beloved @TomLoftus_CJ is saying right now on KET, Beshear has an upcoming budget address, too.
”More revenue is needed to find public schools the way he said he was going to fund them,” Tom says.
Will Beshear make specific calls on revenue tonight? Or wait? We’ll see.

@TomLoftus_CJ Well, that didn't take long.
Reference #1: Beshear says improving *public* education can't be "just talk."
