My heart goes out to my friend Andy Barr, and his two wonderful daughters, over the passing of his wife Carol. Thoughts and prayers to Andy and the entire Barr & Leavell families.

Earlier this evening, I learned that a group of individuals hung an effigy of the Governor from a tree on the Capitol lawn. I condemn this action. I condemn the very suggestion that it is appropriate to use intimidation as a means to an end.
These are difficult times with a great deal of uncertainty. People are concerned about their physical and financial health, as well as that of their family and friends. With that said, under no circumstances is it acceptable to use threats or acts of physical violence.
When in fact, this kind of protest only serves to distract us from our goal of moving Kentucky forward. These are not Kentucky values.
