KY legislature

As the annual legislative session in Kentucky wound to a close yesterday evening, members of the House and Senate scrambled to salvage bills from the scrapheap. Ryan Alessi reports legislators froze their clocks for a half-hour to avoid a midnight deadline for the end of session. Despite the tactics, many highly-touted bills did not survive. Among the legislative casualties were a pensions package and an ethics reform bill. Alessi also reports last-minute efforts pushed through $75 million in water and sewage reports.
