Kentucky Democratic House Speaker Greg Stumbo has challenged Bevin's vetoes of the state's two-year operating budget, arguing Bevin did not follow the law when he filed the vetoes in April. If Stumbo wins, it would restore $9.4 million for a program providing community college scholarships to most Kentucky high school graduates. Bevin has said his vetoes are valid. The first hearing in the case is scheduled for Wednesday morning.
Also on Wednesday, Bevin's lawyers will ask a judge to dismiss a lawsuit challenging his order reorganizing the Workers Compensation Nominating Commission. A state judge ruled against Bevin in that case earlier this month.
