State lawmakers will convene Tuesday for a 60-day session that will stretch into mid-April. Republicans hold super-majorities in both the House and Senate, giving them considerable leverage in dealing with the new governor.
Since lawmakers last met, voters ushered in an era of divided government with Beshear's ouster of Republican Matt Bevin. Beshear said Monday that cross-party cooperation will result in a better budget and “better outcomes" for the state.
