Congratulations to state Reps. Lindsey Burke and Lisa Willner (who could not attend) for receiving NASW KY's Social Justice Star Award this afternoon. March is #SocialWorkMonth, and both legislators were recognized for their outsized contributions to the profession. #KYGA24

Bad Bill Alert = Majority Party silences opposing voice that identifies the “badness” by limiting debate. It has already happened today on the 1st debate on final passage of HB5. Silencing voices is anti-democracy. Anti-American. Today I have been silenced and denied speech.

Thank you @Fleming_Ken, @LGWillner, @TinaforKentucky, @SteveBratcherKY, #RepPalumbo & #KYGA24 for passing #HB56! This valuable legislation supports the mobility of licensed social workers through multi-state reciprocity – to reduce the barriers to license portability.

“People complain about new sales taxes to me all the time,” state Rep. Lisa Willner said. “’Why do I have to pay taxes on taking my dog to the vet?’ ‘Why do I have to pay taxes on my gym membership or to take an exercise class?’” Good questions. kentucky.com/news/politics-…

I’m voting No on Amendment 2. It’s a bad deal for Kentucky students.
