Discussing the state budget 2016-03-24 - Frankfort, KY - Photo by LRC Public Information. Senate President Pro Tem David Givens, R-Greensburg (right), discusses legislation with Sen. Perry Clark, D-Louisville, in the Kentucky Senate on Tuesday. The Senate passed it's version of the budget yesterday. In a press release, Governor Bevin said he "is optimistic that Kentuckians will get a fiscally responsible budget. The Administration applauds the Senate for last night's passage of a budget that restores the Governor's permanent fund which addresses the Commonwealth's long-term pension liabilities." The Senate issued a separate press release about the budget. "The major difference between the House budget and the Senate budget is that the Senate's budget is structurally balanced, meaning we do not use one-time monies to pay for recurring expenses," Senate President Robert Stivers said. "We dedicated more funding to KTRS than was proposed by Governor Bevin, but we also dedicated more funding in addition to the ARC payments for KRS nonhazardous than proposed by Governor Bevin and the House combined."
