He is absolutely THE one keeping this going. Friend of mine, who happens to be a practicing physican and has 2 school aged children, wrote a letter/email to someone in Frankfort regarding is disappointment in the decisions being made regarding returning to school.
He received a response almost immediately by a state senator, who also happens to be a physician, that absolutely agreed with him. Basically said most of them (state reps/senators) agree with him. Problem is, King Andy is making these decisions on his own. A couple direct quotes from the email response...
"Unfortunately, the Governor does not communicate with the members of the General Assembly at all. He has not communicated with us through this entire 'emergency period.'"
"As a colleague, I agree with you and appreciate your input on this matter. However, the decisions being made on this front are being done by one man alone, and that is Andy Beshear."
This particular state senator, along with some others, is drafting a bill to limit the governor's power when it comes to emergency powers.
