Lawmakers Left With Big Workload

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...When state lawmakers return to Frankfort April 12th to end Kentucky's 2012 General Assembly, their biggest jobs will be to consider any vetoes issued by Governor Steve Beshear and to decide what to do with legislation left hanging when they departed from the Capitol Friday night. High on that list are two measures pushed by House Speaker Greg Stumbo: an anti-drug bill to regulate pain-management clinics in hopes of curbing prescription drug abuse, and a bill to set up a scholarship program for students in coal-producing counties. They also will have to finalize a state road-building plan for the next two years. Beshear has not vetoed any of the 123 bills the General Assembly sent him through Friday.
