Kentucky lawmakers are ready to disapprove two state contracts with California companies because of that state’s ban on taxpayer-funded travel to Kentucky due to a Kentucky law that California leaders view as discriminatory against gay and transgender people.
“I think our committee will not approve those two contracts with California businesses. We hope they are changed to businesses elsewhere or canceled,” said Republican state Sen. Stephen Meredith of Leitchfield, chairman of the Kentucky legislature’s Government Contract Review Committee.
“We don’t want California trying to replace our values with theirs,” Meredith said.
At issue are two contracts University of Louisville officials took to the review committee on May 11. They were told the panel would not vote immediately on them to give the university time to look for other vendors. The contracts were deferred until the committee’s June 10 meeting.
