Matt Bevin to court, this time challenging the validity of his vetoes of the state's $68 billion operating budget. If successful, the lawsuit filed by House Speaker Greg Stumbo would mean Kentucky high school graduates would have $9.4 million for free community college tuition this fall and more parents would be eligible to send their children to public preschool programs. Those were just some of the items Bevin ordered removed from the budget when he issued $30 billion.

Stumbo is not challenging the governor's authority to veto legislation, a power given to him by the state constitution. But he says a judge should overturn those vetoes because Bevin did not follow the law when he issued them. "There is an old saying that being close is only good in horseshoes and hand grenades. And I believe that's true, particularly when it comes to the constitution," Stumbo said.
