FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — A bill that will undo efforts in Kentucky’s two largest cities to ban landlords from discriminating against renters who use federal housing vouchers has been restored after Republican lawmakers quickly overrode the Democratic governor’s veto. The override votes completed work on the bill Wednesday. The lopsided override votes in the House and Senate came a day after Gov. Andy Beshear vetoed the legislation. It was Beshear’s first veto of this year’s legislative session. But more are expected amid policy clashes between the Democratic governor and the GOP legislative supermajorities.

Low income housing areas are notoriously dangerous. Why should anyone be forced to rent their own private property out to someone on government assistance?
Why should you be allowed to buy up low income neighborhood properties and hold them hostage? Your private property is guaranteed by state protection and it can be taken away by the state!
You have mistaken correlation and causation, electing to reinforce the cause
Why aren't we just letting people die in the gutter, am I right?
That would be awful! Luckily, no one is forced to rent to anyone, and you can live there yourself, thereby bringing up the income levels (you do have a job, right?) and therefore the safety.
