Andy Beshear on Corporations

 

 


Ford is betting its future on the people of Kentucky

Ford Motor Company and its partner, SK Innovation, are going to build the nation's largest electric vehicle battery plants right here in Kentucky. Bill Ford Jr. is Ford's executive chair, and Henry Ford's great-grandson. He said, "Andy, this is the biggest step in the auto industry since the Model T. And this is the biggest investment Ford has ever made, and we are making it in Kentucky." And who did Ford trust enough to bet its future on? The people of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

No consumption tax on basic needs; but ok on luxury goods

Q: Do you support Kentucky eliminating the income tax and going to a more consumption-tax based model?

A: No. I'm not going to work to jack up the price of milk or bread for a family that is already seeing their bills go up while their wages stay stagnant. The solution to Kentucky's fiscal problems is not to put more of the tax burden on working families. The solution to Kentucky's fiscal problems is not to put more of the tax burden on hardworking Kentuckians and take it off those who have already benefited from corporate tax giveaways. I'm focused on reforms that will crack down on tax incentives to corporations that don't pay a living wage and closing unnecessary loopholes like tax breaks for private jet purchases. If you can afford a private jet, or a luxury boat, you can afford to pay a little sales tax on it. What doesn't work is the Matt Bevin approach--calling people names, bullying anyone who disagrees with him. We are better than this.
