House Agrees to Original Senate Debt Levels
The cost of every day of this Special Session should be paid out of Greg Stumbo's pocket.
Here we are, a month and a week after the Constitutionally-mandated end of the regular session, and the budget that the House is finally agreeing to matches the Senate's original proposal.
Interest and principal payments on that would make up 6.88 percent of the state's estimated revenue -- the same amount suggested by the Senate in April. That's down from the House's initial proposal in March of 7.66 percent and from the 7.8 percent in the original budget draft Gov. Steve Beshear unveiled in January.
Every day of this session is a direct result of the Speaker's refusal to accept what he is accepting now. His lack of timely leadership is costing you $65,000 per day.
