What values?

I don't understand Gov. Matt Bevin.

He stated in a Nov. 12 op-ed that the election was a rejection of cronyism. Yet, President-elect Trump is vetting old friends for cabinet positions and adding his children to his transition team.

Bevin wrote that the election was a rejection of basing “government policies on cultural and moral issues that don’t reflect Kentucky values.” What values? Clean air and water sound like Kentucky values to me.

Does Bevin mean we’ll also have freedom from government regulation of Planned Parenthood, too?
