Lawmakers Discuss State Budget
KENTUCKY....
In an effort to pass a budget before midnight Thursday, House Speaker Greg Stumbo entered into closed-door talks with Senate President David Williams shortly before 8:00 P.M. Wednesday proposing a nine-month budget that would give Governor Steve Beshear discretion to make cuts beginning July 1st, keeping the state operating. The plan would not include any new construction projects in which House Democrats wanted roughly $1 billion for school, water, sewer and other things. Williams had started the day pronouncing a budget deal all but dead.
