State Representatives who are scared of @KYEducators & other @GovAndyBeshear allies should NOT be trusted to file, nor carry, legislation that would “restrict” the Governor’s emergency powers.
Such a bill would be watered down & insufficient in protecting our rights. 1/6
Best action legislators can take is sponsor Rep. @SavannahLMaddox’s BR 130. BEST! How do we know? It bothered @AndyBeshearKY enough to respond during his briefing.
An alternative bill should be viewed as only an attempt to throw us a bone while placating Beshear supporters. 2/6
Leadership is likely to pick a member to sponsor a new bill. DO NOT ACCEPT IT!
Be on the lookout for potential legislation to be filed by State Rep. Regina Huff, or potentially another willing member. Rep. Regina Huff represents part of Laurel County & all of Whitley Co. 3/6
Be weary of such a bill & make sure to read it! Contact Rep. Huff by email at Regina.huff@lrc.ky.gov or by phone at 502-564-8100 Ext: 683.
Tell her to just add her name to BR 130 & support the passage of the bill as is without amendment to weaken it. 4/6
