Jacqueline Coleman, Andy Beshear's running mate, is slamming Matt Bevin after an interview with the Bowling Green Daily News where he told Kentucky taxpayers "it's none of their business" why he's using a taxpayer-funded state plane to travel across the country. Bevin also told the Bowling Green Daily News: “I have used the plane for personal reasons and used it to speak to different organizations.”

Jacqueline Coleman, an active educator and former public school assistant principal, said: "Matt Bevin went through emails, sign-in sheets and tried to get police surveillance footage to investigate teachers, but is telling Kentuckians it’s 'none of their business' why he’s taking the state airplane around the country. What a disgrace." 

Earlier this week, the Louisville Courier-Journal reported that Governor Bevin "won't disclose" the "purpose of out-of-state trips" on a state-owned plane, including trips to Miami, Chicago, Kansas City, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Nashville, among others.
