FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — A bill that will undo efforts in Kentucky’s two largest cities to ban landlords from discriminating against renters who use federal housing vouchers has been restored after Republican lawmakers quickly overrode the Democratic governor’s veto. The override votes completed work on the bill Wednesday. The lopsided override votes in the House and Senate came a day after Gov. Andy Beshear vetoed the legislation. It was Beshear’s first veto of this year’s legislative session. But more are expected amid policy clashes between the Democratic governor and the GOP legislative supermajorities.
That’s because Republicans CARE about the Working Class!
I live in kentucky. have all my life.
the kentucky democratic party will never make issues like this an issue to fundraise or encourage people to run for office. it’s embarrassing.
The article didn’t have a lot of detail on specifically what exactly want going to be allowed. I realize it would have prevented discrimination but specially in what way.
What do you mean? It’s: landlords cannot discriminate against renters using housing vouchers. As in: landlords cannot deny renters just because of they’re paying rent with vouchers.
In most states a landlord can choose if they want to accept a certain form of payment. Mainly my question was., did a landlord have to accept the renter who was on assistance or could they just say no not going to going to accept those on assistance.
But thank you for the clarification.

I lived nextdoor to a massive section 8 apartment and never had any problems fwiw. Sucks that you had a hard time but it’s definitely a ymmv thing.
Just because someone is using a voucher doesn’t mean they’re going to attract crime. Where I lived, it was mostly immigrants that were new to the country.

Low income housing areas are notoriously dangerous. Why should anyone be forced to rent their own private property out to someone on government assistance?
Why should you be allowed to buy up low income neighborhood properties and hold them hostage? Your private property is guaranteed by state protection and it can be taken away by the state!
Why aren’t we just letting people die in the gutter, am I right?
