Williams Criticizes Beshear

  • {Kentucky}...At the kickoff of a statewide bus tour Monday, Republican gubernatorial candidate David Williams and his wife, Robyn Williams, made an early morning appearance before a small gathering of supporters at the Jefferson County GOP headquarters, accusing Governor Steve Beshear of hiding behind his campaign cash and offering no agenda for the state. At the start of his bus tour, Williams pitched his jobs plan, which seeks to eliminate the state personal and corporate income taxes, offer other tax relief for businesses, farmers and individuals and put a moratorium on new administrative regulations. Williams also made a pitch to voters in Louisville, northern Kentucky and Lexington. The harshest words came from Robyn Williams who accused Beshear of looking into a camera and lying to the people that elected him, telling them everything's OK and that we've got a surplus in our `rainy day' fund and a robust recovery that's happening. Williams also claimed Beshear had nothing to do with the amount of money put in the "rainy day fund."
