The announcement came after Gov. Steve Beshear signed into law a two-year road plan, but not before vetoing about $50 million in funding for road projects in or near Senate President David Williams’ Southern Kentucky Senate district. Williams said he was “very pleased” that the governor finally signed the road plan, “and we will proceed now to pass the operating budget” for the Transportation Cabinet. He said Beshear’s vetoes were “vindictive and unconstitutional. But since he just directed them at me, we will proceed.” The Senate GOP leader said per capita spending in the road plan for his district after Beshear’s vetoes is about $700, compared to about $2,400 in House Speaker Greg Stumbo’s district. Williams’ district includes Clinton, Cumberland, McCreary, Monroe, Wayne and Whitley counties.]]> http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/04/18/beshear-vetoes-50-million-in-road-projects-in-williams-district/feed/ 4 http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/03/28/house-mulls-senate-proposal-on-budget/ http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/03/28/house-mulls-senate-proposal-on-budget/#comments Thu, 29 Mar 2012 00:14:50 +0000 Beth Musgrave http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/?p=21368 http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/03/28/house-mulls-senate-proposal-on-budget/feed/ 0 http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/03/28/house-passes-compromise-drop-out-bill/ http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/03/28/house-passes-compromise-drop-out-bill/#comments Wed, 28 Mar 2012 22:41:44 +0000 Beth Musgrave http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/?p=21361 http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/03/28/house-passes-compromise-drop-out-bill/feed/ 0 http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/03/26/copper-theft-bill-heads-to-beshear/ http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/03/26/copper-theft-bill-heads-to-beshear/#comments Mon, 26 Mar 2012 22:52:55 +0000 Beth Musgrave http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/?p=21305 http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/03/26/copper-theft-bill-heads-to-beshear/feed/ 0 http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/03/21/senate-hopes-to-pass-budget-on-thursday/ http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/03/21/senate-hopes-to-pass-budget-on-thursday/#comments Wed, 21 Mar 2012 21:27:43 +0000 Beth Musgrave http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/?p=21260 http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/03/21/senate-hopes-to-pass-budget-on-thursday/feed/ 0 http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/03/21/house-passes-nursing-home-dental-bill/ http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/03/21/house-passes-nursing-home-dental-bill/#comments Wed, 21 Mar 2012 19:43:11 +0000 Beth Musgrave http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/?p=21256 http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/03/21/house-passes-nursing-home-dental-bill/feed/ 1 http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/03/20/house-approves-bill-to-limit-tanning-for-teens/ http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/03/20/house-approves-bill-to-limit-tanning-for-teens/#comments Tue, 20 Mar 2012 20:52:05 +0000 Beth Musgrave http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/?p=21240 http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/03/20/house-approves-bill-to-limit-tanning-for-teens/feed/ 0 http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/03/19/ky-child-protection-receives-re-accreditation/ http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/03/19/ky-child-protection-receives-re-accreditation/#comments Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:26:59 +0000 Beth Musgrave http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/?p=21224 http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2012/03/19/ky-child-protection-receives-re-accreditation/feed/ 0
