Beshear Agrees with House Republican Platform
Last week, the House Republican Caucus announced a platform agenda for the 2011 session. It has apparently gained momentum as Governor Beshear has voiced support for its first proposal. According to a press release, Jeff Hoover thanked the Governor for his support:
"We are appreciative that Governor Beshear during an interview on WHAS-AM this morning expressed his support for BR 153, which if passed would require legislators to forfeit their pay during a special session if they are unable to pass a budget during the regular session of the General Assembly.
We are grateful he supports the lead that the House Republican Caucus is taking in bringing the trust back to state government, and we look forward to working with him in helping us pass meaningful legislation during the 2011 session."
