The Kentucky House is expected to vote on its version of the state budget as early as Tuesday.
In the six years Representative Michael Meredith has been in Frankfort, a budget has been passed by a Democratic governor and House. The Brownsville Republican says this budget process is interesting to watch.
"This year will be really different because you have a Republican governor sending a budget to the House. the House is going to have a totally different budget, I think, and send that to the Republican Senate that will do something totally different than the what the Democratic House did," Meredith told WKU Public Radio. "I think the reconciliation through the conference committee process is going to be really interesting to see how that all works."
The House budget restores some of the cuts proposed by Governor Matt Bevin. He wants to reallocate $650 million in government spending to address the state's pension obligations.
