“I’ve been consistent in my position to stand up for Kentucky coal and make sure the electricity rates remain low.”
-Jack Conway, “Fox News Sunday,” Oct. 3, 2010
According To A July 16, 2009 Paducah Sun Article, Conway Said “He Supports The Cap And Trade Bill And Believes Problems Can Be Worked Out To Prevent High Energy Costs.”
“His chief opponent in next year’s Democratic primary is Attorney General Jack Conway, who issued a statement last week saying he supports the Cap and Trade Bill and believes problems can be worked out to prevent high energy costs. Conway said the House version of the bill was improved from Obama’s original plan because it gives utility companies additional emission credits and more time to meet goals for reducing harmful emissions.” (The Paducah [KY] Sun, “Breaking With Obama,” Bill Bartleman, July 16, 2009)

|

“I think now we ought to extend them.”
-Jack Conway, “Fox News Sunday,” Oct. 3, 2010
· In April 2010, Conway Claimed He Would Support Allowing The Majority Of The Bush Tax Cuts To Expire. BOARD “Which, if any, of the Bush tax cuts would you favor preserving or which would you favor letting expire?” CONWAY: “I would favor letting expire probably the majority, the majority of the Bush tax cuts.” (Jack Conway Interview With The Courier-Journal Editorial Board, www.courier-journal.com, April 12, 2010)
By July 2010, Conway Claimed He Supported Extension Of The Bush Tax Cuts In Their Entirety. “[C]onway and Paul agreed on several key issues. . . . They also favor extending in their entirety the tax cuts that passed in 2001 and 2003, when Republican George W. Bush was president. The reductions are due to expire at the end of the year, and many Democrats in Congress oppose renewing the tax cuts for upper-income earners.” (The Associated Press, “Rand Paul Tells Farmers They May Face Program Cuts,” David Espo, July 22, 2010)
“During Last Spring’s Democratic Primary, Conway Told The Editorial Board Of The Courier-Journal Of Louisville That Most Of The So-Called Bush Tax Cuts Should Be Allowed To Expire. But Over The Past Month, Conway Has Repeatedly Said Most Of The Tax Cuts Should Be Extended.” (The Lexington [KY] Herald-Leader, “Rand Paul Accuses Jack Conway Of Flip-Flopping,” Jack Brammer, August 18, 2010)
