Kentucky State Senator Johnny Ray Turner Named To State Budget Committee.
Senator Johnny Ray Turner, D-Drift, today was appointed to the state budget conference committee to finalize details of House Bill 406, the state spending plan.
"It is a privilege to be selected to serve on the committee that will work toward a compromise on the financial plan that will affect all Kentuckians," said Senator Turner "I am optimistic that we will be able to reach an agreement that will be the best economic plan for our state."
Senator Turner was chosen by Senate President David L. Williams, R-Burksville, to represent the Senate Democratic Caucus as a member of the legislative conference committee.
If the conference committee reaches an agreement, the bill will be sent back to its respective body to be voted upon. If it gains approval from both the Senate and the House of Representatives, the bill will be sent to Governor Steve Beshear to be signed into law.
"As a member of both Senate leadership and the Appropriations and Revenue Committee, Senator Turner is a good choice to serve on the budget conference committee. " said Senate Democratic Floor Leader Ed Worley, D-Richmond. "Senator Turner will take this opportunity to work toward a compromise that will benefit all the citizens of the Commonwealth."
Senator Turner serves the 29th district, which includes Breathitt, Floyd, Knott and Letcher counties. Along with Appropriations and Revenue, he serves on Committee on Committees; Education; Health and Welfare; Rules, and State and Local Government committees.
