Governor Beshear: Bad time to raise taxes

Governor Steve Beshear penned an op-ed column for today's Herald-Leader. Here's an excerpt:

There's lots of talk these days about tax reform.

However, if you ask 10 people what that phrase means, you will get 10 different answers. I am always open to ideas about how to make our tax laws more fair and more in tune with Kentucky's economy, but during this historic economic recession no such reform should include broad-based tax increases on Kentucky's families and businesses.

...Putting our people to work must be our top concern. That's been my strategy, and it's a strategy that's indisputably working.
