Beshear Declares An Emergency

About this episode

The episode discusses Beshear's declaration of a state of emergency due to gas prices and the measures he implemented.

Beshear declares a state of emergency! But it's not snowing, flooding, the wind isn't blowing, and a mass amount of people don't have the sniffles. So what is the emergency? Gas prices, he says. His orders include activating price-gouging laws, lowering the gas tax, and stopping a future hike. I'll break down exactly what he did, and importantly, did he do the same thing under Biden?
