Republicans sweep the Ky. state govenment.

mercredi 9 novembre 2016

Ky. voters have given control of the Ky. House of Representative to the Republicans for the first time since 1921. Republicans now hold a super majority, holding 64 seats of the 100 member House. Republicans also hold a super majority in the Senate. Combined with Matt Bevin's presence in the Governor's office things look much better for gun owners in Ky. The most probable choice for the new Speaker of the House is Jeff Hoover, of Jamestown. That vote won't be formally taken before January, when the General Assembly starts the 2017 session. Committee memberships and chairmanship will also switch to the Republicans. Its a new day in Frankfort.

We lost some good, gun friendly Democarts last night, too. Linda Belcher of Bullitt Co, Fitz Steele of Hazard and Hubert Collins, who was the sponsor of last year's terrible Constitutional Carry bill are all gone. It's bad to see such gun friendly people leave the House, but they couldn't deliver because of the people that they surrounded themselves with, so they got replaced with new gun friendly people.
