Louisville Courier-Journal: Senate Republicans wait 18 months to tell us their COVID-19 plan ... and it's pizza
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is a statement by Colmon Elridge, Chair of the Kentucky Democratic Party, in response to Senate President Robert Stivers’ pizza plan.
“Senator Stivers and the Republican supermajority had 16 months to come up with a plan to keep Kentuckians safe and today we finally heard the first part of their proposal - free pizza. Governor Beshear has done the right thing and made the tough calls during the pandemic, and he’s saved lives because of it. It’s time for the GOP supermajority to stop playing politics and start working with Governor Beshear to defeat COVID."
Thanks to Liles Taylor for sending us this.

Oh, my pepperoni-lovin’ God. Now I understand why Republicans want to impeach Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear.
He spent the last 1 1/2 years wasting time by following the recommendations of the federal government, made the hard decisions to order people to mask up, closed down businesses and begged people to get vaccinated. All in an effort to save humanity.
When all he had to do is offer people a pie. With extra cheese. Italian sausage. Maybe anchovies.
