Occurrences

Evidence
Comer said Monday his proposal for a 10 percent earned-income tax credit would apply to families with household incomes up to $100,000. He said it would allow families to keep more of their income.
He said he’ll achieve those goals by reducing government spending by 10 percent, providing an earned 10 percent income tax credit for families that make $100,000 or less and decreasing Kentucky’s debt ratio to less than 6 percent in four years.
Assessments
The evidence establishes that Comer made this 2015 campaign promise as a Kentucky gubernatorial candidate, but it does not show that the promised 10 percent state income tax credit for families making $100,000 or less was enacted or implemented. There is also no evidence here that Comer later secured passage of such a policy through legislative or executive action, nor that he made a documented serious attempt in office that failed. Because the available record confirms the pledge but not delivery, and the specific promised outcome was not shown to occur, the best judgment is that the promise was not fulfilled.
