Gov. Beshear amends call for special legislative session
FRANKFORT, Ky. – Gov. Steve Beshear today amended the call for the special legislative session starting today with clarifying language to his proposals for funding mega-transportation projects and Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs) at the state’s racetracks.
“As legislative leaders collectively point to issues that need changes or clarification, I will be ready and willing to amend the call,” Gov. Beshear said. “That’s exactly what has happened with the two changes I’m announcing today.”
Specifically, with respect to mega-transportation projects, Gov. Beshear has added language to his proposal that would allow the creation of financing authorities for other projects within Kentucky. That would be in addition to authorities to finance projects between Kentucky and Indiana, such as the proposed Louisville bridges.
Regarding VLTs, the amendment would simply make the language of the call broad enough to include the measures being introduced today.
Here's the Gov's Proclamation.
