Call the Legislative Hot Line at 1-800-372-7181 and tell the Northern Kentucky Legislative Caucus how you want them to vote on these bills:

HB216 forces kids to stay in school by raising the dropout age to 18.  Say NO to this as you cannot teach someone that does not want to be in school.  We need our money spent on people that want to learn.  Limited Government

HB 255 forces more of our dollars into green energy for schools.  Say NO to this as we have learned with the debacle at the Edgewood school that these system are not cost effective and will cost us for years to come.  Free Markets.

SB49 lets the Fiscal Court Judge select and appoint members to the library boards.  Say YES as we need elected officials to be held responsible for our taxes.  Fiscal Responsibility.

SB 62 sets a realistic threshold for getting the NKAPC on the ballot.  Say YES as we need elected officials to be held responsible for our taxes.  Fiscal Responsibility.

HB 30 permits advertising on school buses.  Say NO as we do not want to confuse educating our children with the private sector capitalism.  Free Markets. 

Keep checking back as new bills are reviewed and analyzed under the light of Fiscal Responsibility, Free Markets and Limited Government.
