Loading ...Kentucky Governor Plans To Collect Sales Tax On Gold And Silver Despite New Law
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has decided he’s going to continue collecting sales tax on the sale of gold and silver despite a new law repealing the levy and an attorney general opinion calling his line-item veto of the provision unconstitutional.
Gov. Beshear signed the bill but used a line-item veto to strike out the sales tax exemption for gold and silver.
“If you own gold, you can afford to pay sales tax,” Beshear wrote in his veto message. “Tangible goods are the primary basis of the sales tax.”
Instead of simply overriding the veto, Republican leadership decided to make a political statement and try to give Beshear a black eye. It asked Attorney General Russell Coleman to issue an opinion on the constitutionality of the veto, and he agreed with the legislature’s assessment.

Everything that happens in washington is a f’kn SHOW. No resolve.
Instead of hauling Wray and Cheatle to testify, they should have pulled members of sniper team 1 and 2 and some ground level Butler cops …. and THEN bring in Wray and Cheatle. The fact they don’t do this proves it’s just THEATER – sickening.
