Kentucky House and Senate members have put their stamp of approval on more than $12 billion, most of it going to highway and bridge work. A brand-new initiative focuses on local roads.
Monticello GOP Representative Ken Upchurch noted it’s like a state road plan format for cities and counties. The chair of the Transportation Budget Review panel added legislators would be making decisions about requests from local officials. Upchurch said it would move from the executive branch to state lawmakers.
