Join us at a 11:30 a.m. press conference to call for a state budget that puts Kentuckians over cuts. The House’s budget (HB 500) cuts or freezes many parts of the state budget and underfunds essential public services. The bill provides inadequate school funding, cuts funding to higher education institutions, leaves an unexplained shortfall of over $220 million in Medicaid, fails to provide state retirees a cost-living-adjustment, and denies transformative investments in housing and universal preschool. Kentuckians deserve better.
