Bevin, Beshear trade verbal jabs at Fancy Farm picnic
Associated PressFANCY FARM, Ky. — Republican Gov. Beshear tried to capitalize on Bevin’s long-running feud with public education groups that have railed against the governor’s efforts to revamp public pension systems and his support for charter schools. Bevin lambasted Beshear, the state’s attorney general, for not defending the state in lawsuits challenging several abortion laws passed by abortion foes in the legislature. Beshear has denounced Bevin for using “violent language” that the Democratic challenger said could get “people hurt.” Both parties’ statewide candidates, all the way down the ballot, got their turns on stage Saturday. Not just people in your political party.” Bevin saw his approval ratings slump last year after his failed attempt to change the state’s struggling public pension systems.
