| Senate leader sues Beshear Sat, 17 May 2008 02:05 EDT Senate President David Williams sued Gov. Steve Beshear Friday, claiming the governor's veto of a $3.8 billion state highway spending plan is unconstitutional. Beshear said Kentucky "would be better served if Sen. Williams worked with us to enact pension reform and adequate funding for education instead of constantly creating unnecessary controversy." The Democratic governor also said of the legal action of the Republican senator from Burkesville, "It is telling that the legislature is not challenging my actions and that only Sen. Williams feels compelled to do so." Beshear said he is "confident in our legal position and that the veto of House Bill 79 is effective and in the best interest of the Commonwealth." Williams claims in the lawsuit filed in Franklin Circuit Court that Beshear's veto was made beyond the constitutionally allowed 10 days after adjournment of this year's General Assembly. |
