Governor Beshear vetoed House Bill 314 on Friday.
The bill was designed to streamline.
Kentucky Wired.
That project was launched in 2013 with the goal of connecting every Kentucky county to fiber broadband cable.
Kentucky.
Wired has faced numerous setbacks and criticism for delays and overspending.
House Bill 314 calls for removing governor appointed members of the Kentucky Communications Network Authority, which oversees that project, and replacing them with the Secretary of State, the Agriculture Commissioner, and the State Treasurer.
In his veto message, Governor Beshear said, quote.
House Bill 314 is yet another unconstitutional Partizan power grab by the General Assembly to remove appointments and authority from a Democratic governor and send them to Republican office holders.
Today, with no discussion, the House voted to override the governor's veto of HB 314.
The Senate will have a chance to do the same now.
