Here Comes ANOTHER Kentucky Special Legislative Session.

We told you all that there is a special legislative session in Kentucky's future, after the concluded DISASTROUS regular session that produced -- almost NOTHING.

Now the Governor has suggested that he'll call one to deal with the state's pension fund, if the Lawmakers will agree and reach a compromise beforehand. The Governor expects to call a session to start by June 23rd.

While we applaud the efforts to deal with the pension problem, and while we certainly applaud the Governor for waiting until the details are worked out before the special session starts, we wonder why the issue of raising cigarette taxes is NOT discussed as a part of the session's agenda.

It should be.

And most importantly, we wonder why no one is asking why Kentucky has formed a TERRIBLE habit of having annual sessions to be followed by annual special sessions.

Kentucky tax payers deserve NOT to have both.

We can either settle for annual sessions or we settle for semi-annual sessions to be followed by a special session, if actually needed due to EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES.

The system we have now is nothing but a JOKE, except that no one should be laughing at this SERIOUS matter and the tax payers are left holding an (EMPTY) bag!
