The Kentucky House Budget Committee has acted to make revenue modifications, partly focusing on sales taxes and exemptions. The changes are contained in a bill numbering well over a hundred pages. The language of the legislation has been inserted into another existing bill. Budget Committee Chair Jason Petrie was asked about the process. After the meeting, he said most of the items in the bill are, quote, “well-worn issues.”
“So, maybe not new ground. We try to include as many people as we can moving forward. But, as you know you don’t want to catch bad swirl and bad information. You want it to come out straight the first time. So, that people have a better chance of understanding it,” said Petry.
