Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear (D) has proposed a 2012-2013 budget that includes heavy cuts to some key departments while giving a $43 million tax break to a massive creationist theme park.

In his plan, Beshear calls for a 6.4 percent cut to Kentucky's higher education department, a 2.2 percent cut to the State Police force and sizable cuts to other agencies in what he calls an effort to cut the budget to the bone.

2. I hate to see our budget cut this way, but the tax break to the theme park is over a 10 year period.

It will also employ about 3000 people to build plus employ about 800 people ultimately to run it, not to mention bring money to the state. If the crazies want to spend their money at an ark park that brings money to my state, I'm all for it.
