Frankfort, KY — In case you missed it while Matt Bevin’s bitter feud with Lt. Governor Hampton only got worse, Louisville Courier Journal columnist Joe Gerth also detailed how Governor Bevin’s office may have violated the law by using taxpayer resources to send out a “purely political attack” about Andy Beshear after he opposed the governor’s new lawsuit because it would slash health care protections for people with pre-existing health conditions.

In addition to slamming Bevin and his Secretary of Health and Family Services for an “over-the-top press release” that “smacks of politics in the worst way and could possibly violate the Hatch Act,” Gerth declared that if a ruling from a U.S. District Judge is right then it seems Andy Beshear and the American Medical Association “are right” about how Matt Bevin’s health care lawsuit could take coverage away from people with pre-existing conditions. 

KDP Spokesperson Marisa McNee added, “Matt Bevin is weak and desperate to hide the truth about how his disastrous health care agenda would strip vital coverage away from Kentuckians with pre-existing health conditions. 

Matt Bevin says he's anti-corruption, but his own office may have just broken the law
