As Kentucky gets closer to Election Day, voters will likely receive more and more fliers in their mailboxes. Kentucky Democrats worry about intentional misinformation on some of the fliers regarding Amendment Two.
“There is a lot of confusion and misinformation and some of it has been intentional, unfortunately,” said Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman at a press conference against Amendment Two.
Coleman said she has been made aware of fliers misrepresenting her and Gov. Andy Beshear’s stance on the measure.
“We’ve been made aware of fliers and walk pieces that have been distributed that say ‘vote yes on amendment 2 to support the governor – to help with teacher raises,’ to do all the things that amendment 2 will not do,” Coleman said.
“There’s a lot of intentional misinformation out there trying to utilize our support of public education, our education-first administration, and misusing that, misrepresenting that as if we stand for amendment 2,” she added.
Amendment 2 is a measure that affects school funding. If passed, the state constitution would be changed to include this text: “The General Assembly may provide financial support for the education of students outside the system of common schools.”
