On Principles & Values: Capitol on the Corner: direct local access to governor

Bruce and Greg will travel to all 120 counties in their first term in office to meet with citizens where they live. They will bring the Capitol to rural areas of the state and hold town hall meetings to better understand and solve issues of local concern Too often, people in remote parts feel disconnected from the State Capitol and out of the loop from the decision-making process. Through the Capitol on the Corner program, local citizens will have direct access to the governor, lieutenant governor, top state leaders, cabinet heads and legislative leaders. Bruce and Greg want to hear directly from citizens, and want to be accountable to them. Instead of sitting in an office in the State Capitol, Bruce and Greg will bring the capitol to every corner of the state.

On Principles & Values: One Kentucky Plan: Leave No Region Behind

Bruce and Greg have a four-point plan called One Kentucky to bridge the economic and infrastructure gap between regions and ensure that no region and no citizen is left behind.

Capitol on the Corner: to meet with citizens where they live.
Invest in Infrastructure. Quality infrastructure is necessary for Kentucky to succeed in the 21st century.
Strengthen rural education. Rural schools, from pre-Kindergarten to college, have barriers that schools in urban areas do not face. Bruce and Greg will expand distance learning and other innovative educational opportunities so that students can learn without leaving their communities. Bruce and Greg will develop and expand four-year learning opportunities in Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky.
Expand economic capacity. Kentucky’s rural areas have great economic potential. We will open economic development offices to dedicate immediate attention and resources to growing the economy in Western and Eastern Kentucky.

On Technology: Invest in basic infrastructure, plus broadband

In order to grow, every part of Kentucky must be connected to urban centers and the global economy. That means investing in basic infrastructure, from roads and highways to broadband Internet to airports and river ports. Remote parts of the state need good roads and highways to be accessible. Broadband connects every small business and every community to the power of the Internet. Quality infrastructure is the lifeline of commerce and necessary for Kentucky to succeed in the 21st century.
