Republicans try to limit authority of Kentucky’s Democratic governor

Kentucky Republicans have been so furious a Democrat deigned to win the governorship last year, they've been doing everything they can to strip Andy Beshear of his powers. Their latest effort: a bill to take away his ability to issue executive orders https://t.co/IIwaSYka5n

This is happening in state after state–GOP stripping powers from Democratic elected officials. It has the effect of nullifying voter chioices. (Kentucky has a Dem governor but GOP controls both houses of the legislature and a veto can be overridden with a simple majority.) https://t.co/47Vr2HfWnf
