Even though he didn’t have prioe legislative agreement, Gov. Steve Beshear decided to go “all when he called a special session of the to begijn onJune 15. In addition to addressing the budget shortfall, Besheafr included legislation toallows video-lottery terminals at Kentucky’s horse legislation to create a public authority to find ways to fund majotr transportation projects and a package of new economic developmeng incentives. The authority legislation and the $75 millionb bill designed to lure a NASCARf Sprint Cup race to Kentucky and increase incentivews for the expansion of existing businessesw appear to have a good chance ofbeint passed.
Both were on the way to passage duringthis year’sa regular session before being derailed by minor differences betwee the House and Senate. We hope the expectesd battle over expanding gaming will not hurt the chancea of the othertwo initiatives. The completion of the Ohio RivedrBridges project, which calls for two new bridgeas over the Ohio River and a reconfiguration of Spaghettij Junction, is vital to the future of the Louisville The project will alleviate already seriousx traffic congestion and make the area a more viabler place to do business.
Establishing a public authority to developl funding mechanisms and to work with a counterpar in Indiana is needed to move theprojecty forward.

Homebuilders want wood stork protections downgraded - Jacksonville Business Journal:
http://gipnotizer.com/Luxury/Loose-Gemstones/
“The continued listing of the wood storkj under the Endangered Species Act has blocker development and mining projects that could have providefd jobsfor thousands,” said Steven Geoffrey Gieseler, managing attorney with the ’s Atlantic Cente r office in Stuart, which is representing the association. Ken a spokesman for the U.S. Fish and Wildlifr Service, said the wood stork population has shown signs of stabilizing at 8,000 nesting pairs or 16,000 breeding He said even if the wood stork is downgradede to “threatened” status, that won’t necessarilh mean any greater freedom to builx on its habitat.
“When you talk aboug the EndangeredSpecies Act, and threatened versuds endangered, it’s a dubious distinction. It still means the speciew is not doing well and it is protectecd underthe act," Warren said. "It doesn’t weaken existingt protections, nor does it make it easier or harder to build in woodstork habitat.” A recent five-yead review of the wood stork’s numbers suggested it is doinhg better and could theoretically be downgraded, but it was only a he added. The wood stork, prevalentf in Central and South Florida, was listedf as "endangered" in 1984.
The petition cite a 2007 federal review that found the reclassification is warrantec because the wood stork numbers are increasing in thesoutheastern U.S.
