AG Beshear's statement on today's KY Supreme Court ruling

By Terry Sebastian or Crystal Staley

FRANKFORT, Ky. (Sept. 22, 2016) - "Today, the Supreme Court enforced Kentucky law, reminding us that "the governor, like everyone, is bound by the law." Based on today's ruling, I am calling on Gov. Bevin to immediately release the $18 million he wrongfully withheld from our public colleges and universities. As the court stated, it is my job as Attorney General "to vindicate the public rights of the people of the Commonwealth," and I will continue to do so."

"I am also calling on the governor's office to use today's ruling as a turning point. It is time for him to stop attacking, and to instead join me in building a better Kentucky. We live in a state where far too many of our children are abused. Our seniors face daily scams that seek to rob them of their hard-earned savings. Thousands of victims of sexual assault have been denied justice based on our rape kit backlog. And our communities face the most deadly drug epidemic imaginable. These are the problems Kentuckians expect us to address, and they are problems that all of us - democrats, republicans or independents - can address together. So I would hope that after today, the nasty press releases and name-calling stop, and the governor joins us for the real work that needs to be done to help Kentucky families." - Attorney General Andy Beshear.
