Beshear Outlines Special Session Agenda
Governor Steve Beshear has outlined details of proposals which he wants considered when a special legislative session begins Monday. Along with a $1 billion budget shortfall, video lottery terminals at racetracks and a funding mechanism for mega-transportation projects, he also has designed a plan to lure businesses and keep jobs in Kentucky. Among other things, the bill would give legislative approval to use a Hardin County industrial site funded by the state for a proposed advanced battery manfacturing complex Kentucky hopes to secure, an incentive to lure a NASCAR Sprint Cup Race to the Kentucky Speedway and tax cuts for the movie industry. Most of the issues contained in the legislation were approved by the House and Senate in the regular session.
