Not so far fetched. 

Lexington elected a gay mayor and a couple years later the state went full-on GOP... now we've done away with labor unions & prevailing wage; and they're planning a special session at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars per day to (according to the new governor): raise taxes on workers (and lower them on businesses), rollback raises for state employees who received them in the 90s-early 2000s, cut retirement benefits for already retired police officers and teachers, and implement retirement changes expected to encourage 1-in-5 teachers to retire and another 1-in-5 to not teach in Kentucky.

My favorite out of it so far is Bevin's statement: 

Quote:“Frankly, if a teacher thinks so little of their responsibility and their obligation to their students and the families that they’re responsible to that they would literally walk out on their classroom, in their own self-interest, that’s an unfortunate decision I would certainly hope that a teacher would not make,” said Bevin, a Republican.

This coming like 2 days after he essentially said 'yeah, the state made an obligation to pay people, but we're literally going to walk out on that agreement. Sorry you retired 10 years ago, or believed us 20 years ago.'
