Beshear Wants Meeting With State Leaders
KENTUCKY....
Governor Steve Beshear sent a letter Monday to the top two legislative leaders, House Speaker Greg Stumbo and Senate President David Williams, stating he wants a meeting with them “as soon as possible.” Beshear said he understood the two chambers were “very close” to reaching a budget agreement before the session ended, and a budget resolution must be reached by June 1st to restructure debt “or we will lose the opportunity to capture $113 million for the General Fund and $64 million in the Road Fund that both chambers counted on in their budget proposals. He says, if the two chambers cannot agree on a budget, he would need at least one month to prepare the government for partial shutdown when the new fiscal year begins July 1st.
