Beshear Urges Negotiators To Avoid Harming Education
KENTUCKY...
FRANKFORT, KY (AP) - As lawmakers continue to negotiate Kentucky's next 2-year budget plan, Gov. Steve Beshear is urging legislative budget negotiators to avoid approving a state spending plan that damages education. Beshear told reporters Tuesday that he hasn't "drawn any lines in the sand" that would cause him to veto all or part of budget being crafted by House and Senate conferees. But the governor urged House and Senate leaders not to pass a spending plan that causes education to take a big step backward. Brian Wilkerson, a spokesman for House Speaker Greg Stumbo, says negotiators exchanged proposals Tuesday. The General Assembly skipped meeting to give negotiators more bargaining time
