Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jack Conway has released a jobs plan that includes promoting Kentucky's homegrown industries and expanding broadband access to rural areas lacking the links with high-speed Internet service.
Conway on Tuesday called for phasing out the state's portion of the inventory tax as a way to lower business costs and spur more investment.
He said he wants to build on Kentucky's strengths in agriculture, manufacturing, logistics, mining, tourism, horses and whiskey production.
Conway and Republican businessman Matt Bevin are competing for the governor's office in the November election.
Conway opposes right-to-work legislation backed by Bevin that would allow employees represented by unions to opt out of paying union fees.
Bevin's plan for job growth also calls for revamping the state's tax code.
