Stumbo is asking a judge to throw out Bevin's vetoes of the state's two-year, $68 billion operational budget.
Bevin says he filed his vetoes with House Clerk Jean Burgin. Bevin says Burgin promised she would deliver the vetoes to the Secretary of State's office. But Bevin said "House leadership" instructed Burgin to lock the vetoes in her office and not deliver them.
Stumbo's attorney Matt Stephens wants to exclude all evidence of what Burgin did because he says it is not relevant to the case. He says Burgin cannot assume Bevin's constitutional duties to deliver the vetoes. Judge Phillip Shepherd it was too early to rule on the request.
