We should all be “sick and tired” of being “sick and tired” due to the following rankings:
- Kentucky has been ranked as the worst funded public pensions in the nation estimated to have $70 billion of unfunded debt. We deserve more yet our funds have been squandered. (US News)
- Kentucky was rated as the 20th worst states to live in the nation with the Median Income of $44,811. We deserve better yet we haven’t been able to compete with neighboring states for high paying jobs. (US News)
- Kentucky has been ranked 45th for overall Economy based on employment rates, per capital income, employment rates of disabled adults and other addressable issues. Our State Representative was ranked 55% effective in the 2018 Legislative Session and 44% effective in the 2017 Legislative Session for voting on bills that promote and support the growth of businesses in Kentucky. (KY Chambers)
- Kentucky has been ranked 46th for overall Fiscal Stability. (US News)
- Kentucky has been ranked 45th in healthcare based on the number of preventable hospital readmissions, number of mental health cases, and obesity. (US News)
- Kentucky’s educational system has been ranked 34th in the nation (up from 45th) based on performance in higher education. US News)
While the ranking may vary a few points based on the sources we should all expect more because we deserve more.
Kentucky has excellent resources with our people being our greatest asset. We are smart, hard working, resilient, resourceful, and dedicated.
As your State Representative would be committed to introducing and supporting legislation that encourages a competitive job market, supports teachers and education, improvement to infrastructure, and stronger healthcare.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
It is time for new representation and a stronger future for Kentucky!
