The newly seated Republican governor of Kentucky has made one of his first official actions issuing an executive order to accommodate clerks who have religious objections to same-sex marriage, such as Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis.
In a news release Tuesday, Bevin said he has issued an executive order directing the Kentucky Department of Libraries and Archives to issue the revised marriage license forms to all county clerks.
The state’s new governor, Matthew Bevin, issued a executive order yesterday saying he was changing protocol in order to “ensure that the sincerely held religious beliefs of all Kentuckians are honored”.
Matt Bevin is changing marriage certificates in the state, the Associated Press reported Tuesday.
“I don’t see how the governor on his own can eliminate the clerks’ names from these forms”, said Fayette County Clerk Don Blevins. The ACLU continues to work with loving couples who hold marriage licenses of questionable validity and for those who are waiting to legalize their unions until this is resolved. It drew praise from the Liberty Counsel, the Christian conservative law firm that has represented Davis in her protracted legal fight with the American Civil Liberties Union over the matter. Critics of Davis, like columnist and LGBT rights advocate Dan Savage, say that her behavior makes her anti-gay actions that much harder to swallow.
Lawyers for Davis have said that Bunning’s order said nothing about the details that must be included in the licenses.
Just months after both Louisville and Lexington have voted to raise its minimum wages, Bevin issued another executive order eliminating another executive by Beshear for a minimum wage increase for state workers in June.
In the order, Bevin hinted that he would prefer the state have no minimum wage at all: “Wage rates ideally would be established by the demands of the labor market instead of being set by the government”, he said.
Beshear had estimated the raise would cost an additional $1.6 million yearly.

“All vacant positions in any agency will be reviewed to determine if they are necessary to the maintenance of essential government services”, the Governor’s Office said.
