Kentucky Governor, Steve Beshear, Follows Annual Tradition And Calls "Special Session" For August 19. So Why Did I Ever Support Annual Legislative Sessions?

Gov. Steve Beshear on Thursday called the Kentucky General Assembly into special session on Aug. 19 to address legislative and judicial redistricting.“I am confident that both the House and Senate will have their plans drawn and any remaining issues resolved by Aug. 19 so the special session will last only five days and therefore minimize the expense to taxpayers,” – Governor Steve Beshear said in a prepared statement.
