The Kentucky Speaker of the House says the intimidation of members of his chamber are grounds for impeachment.  
 
Democrat House Speaker Greg Stumbo says the voice mail left for Democrat Representative Russ Meyer is part of a "growing body of evidence" that Governor Matt Bevin is bullying the General Assembly.  
 
Stumbo claims the most serious offense was the use of over $600,000 to cancel a road project in Meyer's central Kentucky district after he didn't bow to the demands of the Bevin Administration.  
 
The Speaker is calling for a state or federal investigation into the incident and if true he's calling for the impeachment of the governor.  
 
Stumbo says he's also troubled by a report of a meeting in the basement of the Governor's Mansion late last year in which he says Bevin and Minority Leader Jeff Hoover were present and made an attempt to intimidate two Democratic members of the House.
