Kentucky's constitution says no public dollars to nonpublic schools unless there's a vote from the people. I put my hand on the Bible when I swore to uphold our constitution and listen to our people – and that's an oath I've kept.

Kentucky is losing quality teachers. We can't remain competitive because we rank 44th nationwide for starting teacher pay. And without teachers to lead our classrooms, our children are falling behind. Our teachers, school staff and children deserve better.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said that when one commits themself to the noble struggle for equal rights, they make themself a better person; they make a greater nation of their country; and a finer world to live in. Let's build that better Kentucky for all in Dr. King's honor.

Unemployment is down in all 120 counties. That's great news, because it means more Kentuckians are bringing home a good paycheck to support their family. And there is nothing more important than that.

My executive order to decrease gas prices in Kentucky by 10 cents per gallon takes effect today. This will provide our families relief from soaring gas prices, which they need and deserve.

We're building the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor without tolls! And we aren't just talking about it – we're getting the job done. A safer bridge, shorter commutes and a boost to national commerce. This is a win-win for Kentucky, Ohio and our country.

With help from Congress and Kentucky's Attorney General, we could decrease gas prices by nearly 29 cents per gallon for Kentuckians. Americans need relief from rising prices. Together, we can deliver the help our families need.

Gas prices in Kentucky have gone down by 10 cents or more since my executive order took effect Monday. This has the potential to save Kentuckians $26.8 million dollars over a one-month period. Every dollar matters right now.

Kentucky is one of only a few states that require teenagers be 16 for their learner's permit. House Bill 15 will change that age to 15. I signed this bill knowing it will help working families better juggle all of life's activities. I may have gotten pressure from Will and Lila.

I hope you'll join us today for an Easter Celebration on the Capitol South Lawn. We all need to take care of ourselves and our kids, and this will be a fun event for everyone. And good news, the ground is dry enough for an egg hunt, which will start at 2 p.m. EDT sharp!

Overdose deaths in Kentucky have decreased for the fourth straight year, with a 22.9% drop from last year – and a 50.8% decrease since 2021. We will never forget those lost to addiction, but today's news gives us hope that the work we're doing saves lives.
