In response to a series of new reports from the Louisville Courier-Journal about Matt Bevin's excessive use of the taxpayer-funded state plane for political fundraising, including to pay off personal loans to his 2015 campaign, Andy Beshear is calling out the governor in a new video

In particular, the Courier-Journal reported: "Bevin reported raising $281,750 for his 2015 account at these fundraisers — reimbursing the state for less than $5,000 for the costs of the flights — putting his total raised with the aid of state aircraft at $915,299."

Beshear says in the video: "While Matt Bevin is tearing down health care & public education, he's been using YOUR state plane to put money in his own bank accounts. That’s wrong. Our families deserve a governor who respects their taxpayer dollars - instead of using the state plane for personal gain."
