Kentucky Families are Safe after the House of Representatives Immediately Adjourns the Special Session Called by Governor Fletcher
Kentucky Equality Federation praises the House of Representatives for immediately adjourning the special session called by Governor Fletcher.
Frankfort, KY (PRWEB) July 6, 2007 -- Kentucky Equality Federation praises the wisdom of House Speaker Richards and the entire House of Representatives for immediately adjourning the special session called by Governor Fletcher. The House of Representatives voted to end a special legislative session called by Republican Governor Ernie Fletcher an hour after it started.
"The House of Representatives did what was right for Kentucky families and taxpayers," stated Kentucky Equality Federation President Jordan Palmer. "Governor Fletcher apparently has no core beliefs of his own, his decisions seem to be nothing more than a calculation of how he can stay in office."
Governor Fletcher added a ban on domestic-partner benefits at universities and public agencies to the agenda of the special session that could have cost taxpayers $60,000.00 per day to hold.
"Watching Speaker Richards and other members of the House on KET made me proud to be a Kentuckian," stated Palmer.
Kentucky Equality Federation supported Governor Fletcher's original statement that universities should determine their own policies. But the Governor changed his mind in the middle of an election year and added it to a 'laundry list' as a reason to call the General Assembly into session.
Several Kentucky universities and public agencies offer affordable health insurance to both heterosexual and homosexual couples.
