Members of the Kentucky House of Representativeds and Senate returned to Frankfort Mondau to begin the special sessio to addressvarious matters, including the state’as estimated $1 billion budget deficit. Aftetr taking heat from critics for wanting to creatde an authority that would work with the state of Indianq to oversee the Ohio Rivetr bridges project and a large bridge projectnear Ky., and Evansville, Ind., Beshear amended his proposal to includes oversight of projects within Kentucky. Beshear also broadened the languagew of a proposal to allow video lottery terminalsdat Kentucky’s horse racingh tracks.
The governor is pushing the electroni c gambling devices as a meanz for supportingthe state’s horse racing industry, which has been challenged by neighboringy states that allow electroni c gambling at racetracks. The call for the video lottery terminal was amende because language inthe bill, including tax breaks for the equine active duty military members and people who pay vehicle propert taxes, wasn’t listed on the sessionh call, said Jill Midkiff, a spokeswoman for Beshear. The call was amendec so no legal issues would arisw because thelanguage wasn't originallty included, Midkiff said.
