Frankfort, KY – As lawmakers continue to negotiate Kentucky's next two-year budget plan, Governor Steve Beshear is urging legislative budget negotiators to avoid approving a state spending plan that damages education. Beshear says that he hasn't "drawn any lines in the sand" that would cause him to veto all or part of the budget. But the governor urged House and Senate leaders not to pass a spending plan that causes education to take a big step backward. House Speaker Greg Stumbo's spokesperson Brian Wilkerson says negotiators exchanged proposals today. The General Assembly skipped meeting to give negotiators more bargaining time. The session resumes tomorrow.
