Kentucky lawmakers come back to Frankfort Tuesday to take up vetoes signed by Governor Beshear. The senators and representatives could take up other bills, but they would not be able to over-ride any subsequent actions by Beshear.
During his nightly coronavirus briefing Monday, the governor reiterated he thought it best for the general assembly to just consider his current vetoes. “And I’m gonna have a pretty high bar for anything else that they pass when just being here puts them at risk, puts their families when they come home at risk, puts their community around them at risk. You know, one of these legislators can come from a county that doesn’t have a confirmed case yet and guess what could happen here.”
Beshear reported seven coronavirus related deaths, bringing the state’s overall total to 104. He announced 87 new COVID-19 cases.?
