Straight from the Legislative Calendar, here’s some of the topics that the legislative leaders thought were important enough to bring everyone back to Frankfort:
Appropriations and budget items
- Branch budget bills
- Appropriations for the Transportation Cabinet
- Road projects
- Appropriations for the Judicial Branch
Other stuff
- A KCTCS parking lot
- School district debt in six systems
- Loans to water systems
- Revenue notes for an apartment complex
- Appointing someone to the Kentucky Lottery board
- Rest periods
- Adoption leave
- Robocalls
- Prescriptions for insulin
- Credit for reinsurance
Are some of these things important? Absolutely. Could most of them wait till a special session later? Probably.
And, more importantly, are they urgent enough to put legislators and their staff at risk?
