Here's an important issue related to the proposal to cut employee health insurance in the House budget. The legislature has taken $1.017 billion from the KY Employees Health Plan in recent years to balance the state budget. That money would otherwise be there to help cover costs.

I just wrote a @NPEaction letter: K12 Federal spending SLASHED by the House. Act now. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/they-s…

Sen. Rand Paul's amendment to raise Social Security retirement age to 70 fails by a vote of 3-93. Sen. Schumer: "Came close. Came close."

WE DID IT! This historic vote has been decades in the making and our educators, first responders, and other public servants will now get the Social Security benefits they have earned. Proud of all the work involved and all Kentuckians who shared their stories for us to take to DC

Tell our Senators McConnell and Paul to protect our educators who earned their benefits. Click to send them your message to repeal GPO/WEP! loom.ly/bAXowFc

Boyle County high school teacher Tyler Murphy believes parents, teachers, and communities need to work together to save our public schools by voting NO on Amendment 2. Boyle county would lose $5.58 million and 44 educator jobs if vouchers pass. #protectourschoolsKY #VoteNOon2

NEW #MakingKidsCountPodcast episode - Terry Brooks is joined by Maddie Shepard, President of the @JCTAKY, to discuss the opponent perspective of Amendment 2: bit.ly/4fsi2VT

The reality is that inflation-adjusted school funding is 26% less than it was in 2008. Shifting money away from our public schools to fund a voucher program would only make it harder to hire the teachers, buy the school buses, and maintain the buildings our kids depend on.

Amendment 2 backers are grossly misrepresenting education spending in Kentucky in order to tell a false tale about public schools. Find out more here: kypolicy.org/amendment-2-pr…

Amendment 2 puts no limits on how much can be spent on private school vouchers & who can benefit. What's more, the amendment's suspension of seven sections of the Constitution opens a pandora's box of potential additional threats down the road. NEW here: kypolicy.org/broad-language…

Great job @espunite 👏🏼!

Amendment 2 would allow the legislature to bypass sections of the KY Constitution that safeguard public school funding & block public money from going to private schools. Vote No on 2. #VoteNOAmendment2 #LoveKYPublicSchools
