Budget Negotiations Still in Play in Frankfort

kentucky.com

Kentucky House and Senate leaders have announced they will resume budget talks Tuesday and have moved the final day of the legislative session to Friday. 

Hours of budget negotiations ended late Sunday night with no agreement. House Democrats and Senate Republicans are still at odds over how much money to put into the ailing pension systems, among other issues. 
There’s one legislative business day left in the session. It was originally scheduled for Tuesday. 
If the session ends without a budget agreement, lawmakers would have to be called into special session to approve a spending plan or face the possibility of a partial government shutdown.
