he didnt want to eliminate property tax, he wanted to lower it. Republicans wanted it completely gone. His #1 priority coming into office was more school funding for local districts and it looks like he's going to get it through an increase in sales tax instead of income tax/Shale tax.

He also prevented Republicans from completely gutting the pension system, instead diminishing future pension amounts for new hirees and instituting a partial 401k style plan. It's not what I wanted but that's compromise. They're increasing funding to the pension system, too, which is needed. The pension system is only as broke as we make it.

He set the stage for the next 3 years, too. He won't be pushed around.

He's making vague references to something known to health policy drudges as Section 1332 waivers, which among other things he doesn't know about them, oblige a state to be about as generous with its own plans for an alternative to ACA as ACA already is.

So his intent is to #$!&@ lower-income kentuckians via health reform reform, though he may find that's very hard to do. With any luck, he'll soon be exposed as an uninformed amateur who lied to his voting base about ACA repeal - because that's not what Section 1332 does - and spark a call for his impeachment, or something.

Whoops, that thing he said he'd do he's gonna do
On Election Day, Blackburn voted for Bevin because he is tired of career politicians and thought a businessman would be more apt to create the jobs that Pike County so needs. Yet when it comes to the state’s expansion of health insurance, “it doesn’t look to me as if he understands,” Blackburn said two days later. “Without this little bit of help these people are giving me, I could probably die. . . . It’s not right to not understand something but want to stamp it out.”

Bashear did too good of a job as governor and the voters wanted to correct that since Conway was going to continue the good governance. Needed a non politician in there!

So we get this bad meme instead of one that makes fun of Hillary for menstruating or Bernie for being a socialist.

In fairness, I do wonder about the menstruating thing. Why does she have to do that?!?!

Chris Christie wants domestic abusers to keep their guns.

Experts say the presence of a gun in a domestic violence situation makes it five times more likely that a woman will be murdered.

Meh, who cares? It's much more important that people with dangerous violent tendencies have access to firearms.

I think not getting a shale tax and taxing me more is a pretty big loss.

One of the biggest complaints against Corbett was his relationship with the gas companies and the perception that maybe things weren't on the up and up. I would think that Wolfs election would be a pretty clear mandate to make them contribute more to the revenues of this state.

As far as pensions go I'm pretty far left on most things but when it comes to public sector pensions I would eliminate them for new hires tomorrow

Carly plans to introduce zero-based budgeting budgeting concepts to Federal budgetmaking (to audience applause). Sorry Carly, and dimwitted debate attendees, that beloved champion of Republican ideals - Jimmy Carter - beat you to it
