Kentucky General Assembly Gearing-Up
KENTUCKY....
Kentucky lawmakers are gearing up to convene Tuesday for the 2010 General Assembly. As they tackle a $1.5 billion shortfall predicted over the next two years, they will be overshadowed by a looming financial crisis and a continuing push to legalize casino-style gambling. Governor Steve Beshear is calling for bipartisan cooperation to find solutions to the financial woes and says he's open to all suggestions, except a broad tax increase that he fears might drive the state further into recession.
