Kentucky Supreme Court grants Beshear’s request for hearing on budget cuts
FRANKFORT -- The Kentucky Supreme Court on Monday unanimously granted Attorney General Andy Beshear’s request for an expedited hearing on the legality of midyear university budget cuts imposed by Gov. Matt Bevin.
Bevin had argued last week that there was no need to rush the case and that it should first be heard by the Kentucky Court of Appeals.
In a two-page order, the state’s highest court granted a request by Beshear and three Democratic state representatives from Louisville — Jim Wayne, Mary Lou Marzian and Darryl Owens — to bypass the appellate court and made a schedule for an expedited hearing.
The Supreme Court gave Beshear and the legislators until July 17 to file briefs. The Bevin administration has until Aug. 7 to answer. Beshear and lawmakers must reply by Aug. 12. Oral arguments will be held 10 a.m. Aug. 18 in the Supreme Court chambers in the Capitol. Each side will get 15 minutes to present its case.
