Kentucky House Republicans have issued subpoenas to the Beshear administration after Gov. Andy Beshear’s budget officials and agency heads refused multiple requests for detailed spending documents. Lawmakers argue the records are essential to create a state budget. They needed to review previous spending in order to anticipate future needs. The Kentucky state House is the body responsible for initiating a new state budget every two years. And that’s what they’re doing right now. But when the governor and state agencies under his direction don’t cooperate, then there’s a problem. That’s why the subpoena was issued. This shouldn’t be a partisan issue. It’s about good governance. And regardless of political party, we expect our leaders to be responsible and do the business of all Kentuckians.
