Governor Matt Bevin has made his first official budget proposal, an outline of how the state should spend a little over $20 billion over the next two years.
The governor suggests major cuts across the board, with some notable exceptions. He also wants to base funding for universities on how well schools perform.
Capitol reporter Ryland Barton sat down with Jason Bailey, the executive director of the Kentucky Center for Economic Policy, and Jim Waters, president of the Bluegrass Institute, for this budget debrief.
