Beshear Warns Lack Of Budget Is Ugly
KENTUCKY....
More than a week after lawmakers ended their 60-day session without a new state budget, Governor Steve Beshear met for two hours Friday with House Speaker Greg Stumbo and Senate President David Williams. He urged them to avoid raising taxes or adding big amounts of debt in laying out guidelines for a budget deal which must be approved by the General Assembly before July in order to avoid a partial government shutdown. Beshear warned, "The alternative to getting it done is ugly."
