Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear Vetoes Education Freedom Tax Credit Bill

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear vetoed legislation that would have enrolled the state in a federal tax-credit scholarship program. Beshear stated that the bill would divert money and students from the public school system. Supporters of the program criticized the move. They argued that the tax credits would provide a surge of new dollars for education instead of taking funds away. Some critics characterized the veto as a political favor to labor groups.
