State Budget Raises Concerns
KENTUCKY....
House leaders met Thursday with Governor Steve Beshear to discuss concerns with legislative changes to a more than $17 billion, two-year budget. One concern deals with requiring the executive branch to cut non-merit employees and contracts with private companies. Others include cuts to education and social service groups. House Majority Leader Greg Stumbo says he knew the Senate budget would not pass the House as it currently stands.
