Governor Matt Bevin addressed members of the state legislature yesterday and repeated his promise to make broad cuts to the state budget. His first point was to instate a 4.5 percent, or 117-million dollar, cut to the budget through executive action. There will be progressive cuts over the next two years, eventually leading to a 9 percent cut by 2017. Some sectors will not feel the pinch, since he promised to avoid cuts to K-12 education, veteran programs, and low income medical insurance. Some state agencies, including the Kentucky State Police and corrections will see an increase in their budget.
