Lawmakers Struggle With State Budget
KENTUCKY....
In an effort to come up with a solution for the state budget, House and Senate leaders have agreed to push the 58th day of the 60-day legislative session from Tuesday to Wednesday, allowing leaders time to focus exclusively on the budget during closed-door meetings on Tuesday. If an agreement is reached by Wednesday, lawmakers may return Friday to approve a more than $17 billion two-year budget. The legislature had two remaining days in April to override any potential veto by Governor Steve Beshear, but if the legislature moves one of those days in April to Friday, it will only have one day to override vetoes.
