I believe the General Assembly would be receptive if we see a really sharp spike in prices because of Hurricane Rita. |
I think we'll have some major points of agreement. |
I've been doing this for a long time - longer than the governor's been involved in state government. And I don't believe that using some of the rainy day fund will be any negative at all toward our bond rating or our position in financial markets because of our overall economic growth and stability. |
We certainly would hope it would be received well and that what we've done _ in education at all levels, and human services _ would be appreciated. We hope that that's the case. We think it's a budget that moves Kentucky forward. |
We realize that the legislative process is a compromise. We won't get everything that we want, and he (Fletcher) won't get everything he wants and the Senate won't get everything they want. |
We're short on money for Kentucky's most important priorities. In that case, they have to come before just having money sit in bank accounts. |
When you add those up, those can just about take all the money. |
