Kentucky's electorate will soon cast decisive votes on something state lawmakers have craved, a ballot measure fiercely resisted by the governor that would let the legislature call itself into special session on topics of its choosing.
If the proposed constitutional amendment is ratified Nov. 8, it would shift more power toward the state's Republican-dominated legislature, continuing the evolution of a stronger legislative branch begun decades ago. With a Democrat currently in the governor's chair, that matters more than it might in times of undivided government.
