Tax & Budget
2010 Budget Briefing
Governor Beshear recently predicted that Kentucky will face a potential budget shortfall of more than $1.4 billion. How will this shortfall be filled? Over the last three budget years, the Governor has turned to Recovery Act money, the Rainy Day Fund, and six rounds of budget cuts. This time, the rainy day fund will be dry, public services will have no more notches on their belts to tighten, and Recovery Act money will be available to help balance the budget in 2011 but not in 2012.
