Leaders Confident About State Budget
KENTUCKY....
House Speaker Greg Stumbo, D-Prestonsburg, says he talked with Senate President David Williams, R-Burkesville, Thursday concerning the state budget. Both leaders are confident there will be no need for a conference committee and that a budget agreement will be reached by Friday afternoon. Stumbo says he does not think the Senate would pass a budget bill Friday and then adjourn without knowing what the House does with it. The Senate's budget chairman signaled a willingness Thursday to restore money to help replace Kentucky's most rundown schools.
