“I want a better future for my little girl, my wife and family and our community.”
My name is Raul Urias. I’m a former miner from Island Creek, in Pike County, and the father of a two-year old girl named Makayla. I want a better future for my little girl, my wife and family and our community. I’m not an expert on the state budget or taxes. But it seems like lawmakers who are the experts need to hear a whole lot more from people like me. Right now it feels like we are the forgotten ones.
With all due respect, Kentucky’s political leaders are failing us. The truth is – and we all know it – that Kentucky needs to invest more in our people and communities. I’ve heard it said that lawmakers don’t have the “appetite” for passing tax reforms. Well, I want lawmakers, and the governor, to understand that Kentuckians are hungry for a better future. And we are hungry for leadership.
