94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
With the Kentucky General Assembly legislative session that begins Tuesday being a long session, 10th District State Senator Matt Deneen says the state budget is top priority.
“We have a lot of issues with housing and Medicaid that we’re going to have to deal with, and we’re always going to be concerned with looking at ways to invest in education as we always have, and of course infrastructure across the state, but there’s a multitude of issues that we will have to address as the COVID money comes to an end, and we are back into a session here that really reflects what the commonwealth’s revenue is,” Deneen said.
Deneen says he hopes to see the continued structured reduction of the state income tax, along with progress on workforce development and infrastructure issues.
“A lot of those things are in the works, and I work closely with the Veterans Military Affairs and Public Protection Committee as the chairman, so I do have some bills related to veterans benefits and national security issues around our military installations,” Deneen said. “I serve on several other committees, so there’ll be lots of bills related to those committees as well.”
Deneen encourages Kentuckians to follow the progress of the legislative session, and those with concerns can contact their representatives and senators.
“Several local constituents call me with issues related to health care, related to insurance, related to all kinds of topics from disaster relief and all of it,” Deneen said. “It’s a wide gamut, but I look forward to having those conversations with them and doing the very best I can to be honest, transparent, and forthcoming with the answers they need to help them.”
Contact information for legislators, information on bills as they are filed, and a schedule for the session can be found on the Kentucky Legislative Research Commission’s website.
