Can’t Buy Me Love

Governor Matt Bevin may be relatively new to politics, which he frequently demonstrates, but that does not mean he is unwise to the ways of (legally) attempting to buy votes.

Fresh off his 2019 campaign filing, Bevin announced plans for $20 million in improvements to Kentucky’s state park system. These funds will be used for projects such as lodge roofs, campground upgrades and pool repairs.

Of course, this really is not news, as the 2018 General Assembly included the funding in the budget that passed last April.

So why was the announcement put off for nearly a year? April wouldn’t have done much for the political calendar, now would it?
