If you're new to Facebook, a number of our members already belong, so while on you may want to visit them or ask them to become Facebook friends.  Also, there are a number of other pages you might want to visit including the people opposed to the Facebook page on which people are praying for the death of President Barack Obama.  We would like to put an end to this form of hatred and intolerance, especially under the guise of religion.

From Bluegrass Politics:

FRANKFORT – Senate state budget negotiators offered Friday to accept the House plan for various programs and elimination of two school days but no more new debt for construction projects and no tax changes.

Senate President David Williams, R-Burkesville, said he hopes the House will accept the Senate proposal that goes along with the House plan for a one-year budget so that state lawmakers can approve a spending plan next week when they reconvene to wrap up this year’s legislative session.

But House Speaker Greg Stumbo, D-Prestonsburg, said in a statement that he was “disappointed that this latest Senate proposal again does not address the issue of jobs creation” and could not acccept a plan without it.

House budget negotiations initially proposed about $1 billion in bonded indebtendess for various construction projects to create jobs and had whittled that amount to about $317 million.

Stumbo said House leaders “spent all week in Frankfort with the hope that we could re-start budget negotiations as soon as possible, a request we made known to Senate leaders.

“When it became clear that this would not happen, we sent President Williams our proposal this afternoon. We did not get a response, however, until 5:35 p.m., well after we were gone.”

Stumbo said he was glad that the Senate agrees that funding for schools and Medicaid need to be protected.
