The Kentucky General Assembly has passed a $32 billion, two-year state budget which covers the next two fiscal years.
The final version comes after the Governor had a chance to enact some vetoes which the legislature overrode.
State Senator Christian McDaniel says regardless of the final outcome, it’s the Governor’s job to do what the General Assembly ultimately agrees on.
The items the Governor vetoed that the General Assembly reinstated were about legislator pay raises, funding for projects on the capitol grounds, and putting a $100 million cap on emergency disaster spending.
