Lawmakers advance measures on taxes, education and TikTok

From Mike Wynn, LRC

Frankfort, KY -- The second part of the 2023 Regular Session got underway this week as lawmakers moved bills to reduce income taxes, address sensitive topics in public schools and ban TikTok on state government devices.
