The Kentucky Senate voted 23 to 13 Wednesday to override Governor Beshear’s veto of Senate Bill seven. The body gave final passage to the measure that prohibits the use of a public payroll deduction system to collect certain union dues or for political fundraising. Henderson Senator Robby Mills said such a process is not a constitutional right.
“And union members have every opportunity to pay dues outside the public payroll system. And with modern technology, is even easier to do so,” said Mills.
