Andy Beshear is slamming Matt Bevin’s false claim that his administration didn’t know about the paycheck protection law they failed to enforce that could have paid the Blackjewel miners -- even though his Labor Cabinet actively tried to eliminate the law. 

Sharing the new video today, Beshear said: “After we exposed that the Bevin administration wasn’t enforcing a law that could have helped the Blackjewel miners, Matt Bevin said they didn’t know about it. That wasn't true. The governor knew about the law & actively tried to repeal it. You deserve results, not excuses.”

As of today, the Lexington Herald-Leader added that Bevin’s Labor Cabinet is still “silent” on how they will seek the past-due performance bonds.
