Lawmakers can energize Ky.’s economy

Jefferson County Tax Justice Meet & Greet
Kentuckians For The Commonwealth is working for a day when Kentuckians – and all people – enjoy a better quality of life. To make our vision for Kentucky a reality, we need tax reform that is fair, adequate, and sustainable because so much of our daily lives is made possible by the taxes we pay – things like our schools, textbooks, public safety, the justice system, public health, and more.
10 Years of I Love Mountains Days
KFTC and friends have had 10 years of great success with I Love Mountains Day, bringing thousands to the capital in February to let elected leaders know of our love for Kentucky’s people and mountains, our determination to stop their destruction, and our vision for Appalachia’s Bright Future. Last year KFTC leadership decided that the 2015 I Love Mountains Day would be our last.
Just as we tried over the decade to evolve the theme of I Love Mountains Day from one of just protest against mountaintop removal, valley fills and environmental destruction to one that also included value-based solutions like clean energy and economic justice for all, KFTC’s legislative strategy also has evolved.
