House Leaders Meet With Beshear
KENTUCKY....
Monday, House leaders met with Governor Steve Beshear for more than half an hour to discuss possible House alternatives to the governor’s budget plan. House Speaker Greg Stumbo says it’s clear the governor doesn’t prefer the House approach to the budget, but Beshear was “gracious in agreeing that we should all work together.” The governor’s budget plan calls for expanded gambling to help close a revenue shortfall of more than $1 billion. However, Stumbo has declared that plan all but dead. Senate President David Williams opposes expanded gambling.
