Frankfort, KY – House Speaker Greg Stumbo says he wants to convene a special legislative session this year to redraw Kentucky's legislative boundaries to match population shifts over the past decade. Gov. Steve Beshear has said in the past he would be open to a special session if lawmakers have an agreement in hand to assure a speedy conclusion. Special sessions cost taxpayers more than $60,000 a day. Stumbo says he hasn't met with Senate President David Williams about redistricting plans. Kentucky lawmakers begin their regular session in early January and could take up redistricting then.
