Conway said that as part of his jobs plan he won't raise taxes. He said he will keep the commonwealth competitive using "commonsense proposals that build on our economic strengths, attract new companies to the Commonwealth, and make certain Kentuckians have the education they need to land a good-paying job."
“Workforce development is one of the top issues facing manufacturers in Kentucky, and as I travel the state I continue to hear from employers that their training needs go unmet despite having jobs available," Conway said. "That's why, as part of my plan, I'll make improving worker training a top priority and put Kentucky on the fast track for job growth by creating and expanding statewide apprenticeship programs. By putting these kinds of ideas into action, we can continue moving Kentucky forward by ensuring that our Commonwealth is full of economic growth and opportunity for the middle class."
Earlier in the day, Conway joined elected officials, business leaders, educators and other community members in a roundtable discussion at the Madisonville-Hopkins County Chamber of Commerce, where he also spoke about his economic development and education plans.
