Gov. Beshear Expands Agenda
KENTUCKY...
Gov. Steve Beshear has expanded the agenda for the upcoming special legislative session to include unemployment insurance along with an issue important to Kentucky's bourbon industry. The main issue awaiting lawmakers for the session that begins next Monday is passing a 2-year state budget. A House-Senate impasse kept lawmakers from passing a spending plan during their 60-day regular session. Beshear said in a statement Thursday that the special session agenda will include shoring up the state's Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund, which pays out benefits to jobless Kentuckians. He said another issue will be legislation to expand alcohol sampling licenses to support tourism.
