Bevin wants to dismantle Kynect by end of 2016; will remove clerk's names from marriage licenses

<snip>

FRANKFORT — Gov.-elect Matt Bevin said Friday he wants to dismantle Kentucky's health care exchange known as Kynect by the end of 2016.

He also said during his first media availability after his win Tuesday in Kentucky's race for governor that one of his first actions after he is sworn into office Dec. 8 is to sign an executive order to remove the names of county clerks from marriage licenses.

He hopes that will address the controversy earlier this year when Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis declined to issue marriage license to same-sex couples after the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that same-sex marriages are legal.

Bevin, who said during the campaign that he would make public his tax returns after he is elected, was asked when he plans to do so.

"I don't," he said, declining to take additional questions on that subject.

I see a recall in the future for Bevin by the 84% of voters who did not vote for him, according Fred Sanders Nov 2015 #3
Sadly Kentucky has no recall provision as far as I am aware n/t A Little Weird Nov 2015 #5

If he's unwilling to disclose his returns, I'm going to assume they're cooked.
