Issue Position: A Responsible Budget

Issue Position

As in our own households, our state government must operate within its financial means. This has not happened in Kentucky for many years. Our government must begin the incremental process of getting our financial house in order. We will do this by…

-Developing and sticking to a plan to properly fund our state employees' pension plans so that we honor our commitments to our current state workers.

-Conducting a thorough and realistic evaluation of every program and agency in the state government to ensure that every dollar is budgeted and accounted for.

-Ensuring that every dollar allocated is accounted for and goes to practical, commonsense programs that are legitimately within the scope of responsibility of the state government.
