RePutican RatF*ckers try to strip power from newly elected Democratic Gov

[ffr]

Kentucky is latest state to try to strip power from new Democratic governor

A RePutican-led bill in the Kentucky Senate would strip the incoming Democratic governor, Andy Beshear, of his ability to appoint a key member of his own Cabinet.

The bill would create a nine-member Kentucky Transportation Board, whose members would be recommended by outside groups like the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, WDRB reported Monday. The governor would have to choose his transportation secretary from a list of three names provided by the new board, who would then have to be confirmed by the Senate. No other Cabinet positions in Kentucky are confirmed by the Senate, according to WDRB.

The bill would also shift the governor's power to draft a two-year road budget for the state to the new board. - ShareBlue

2. I belief the GOP tried the same thing in Wisconsin. Dems need to learn to counter this strategy.

If there is a please o please god Blue Wave and Red States get brand spanking new Democratic Governors, we can't let these Republicans drag their asses on the carpet on their way out.

4. Same in Indiana when a Democrat got elected Superintendent of Public Instruction

They took it away as an elective post to have the governor appoint the SPI.
It's almost like they have a playbook some evil group has given them (Koch)

6. It's the new normal for the GOP

If Dems tried it they would be crucified.

10. Yep, Dems would be crucified

while our media would fawn over the Retrumplicans as "sooo unconventional".

If Hannibal Lechther were a Retrumplican politician, the media would say; "he has such an unconventional, out of the mainstream dietary routine, butter emails..."
