"We’re about to go into that magical time of the year when Republicans in Frankfort are so scared of you, the voter, that they will go to amazing lengths to hide what they are doing.
For the next four months, they will use parliamentary tricks to make sure you don’t know what they’re doing as they pass bills to take away your rights, reward their friends and generally impose their will on you.
And they figure you’ll never learn about it, or if you do, will forget about it before they’re up for election again. They’re probably right.
It’s not a government by the people or for the people. It’s a government in spite of the people".

..."It’s not a government by the people or for the people. It’s a government in spite of the people.
What am I talking about?
The Kentucky League of Women Voters came out with a report just a month ago that shines a light on the extraordinary lengths Senate President Robert Stivers, House Speaker David Osborne, Senate Floor Leader Damon Thayer and House Floor Leader Steven Rudy will go to to keep you in the dark.
I’ve told you about these things for years.
In columns, I used to warn you to beware the “ideas of March,” because most of these tricks used to happen near the end of the session as the General Assembly pushed bills through as the legislature wound to a close."...

This article is rich! Talk about taking away a persons rights. Democrats need to look in the mirror when the they take away a person’s due process to run for office because they know they can’t beat President Trump at the ballot box.
