Roughly a month after Governor Andy Beshear released his two year budget proposal, House Republicans have introduced their own budget bill.

Details about it begin tonight's legislative update.

House Bill six introduced yesterday calls for spending almost $125 billion over the next two years compared to the governor's request of 136 billion.

The bill does not include a guaranteed pay raise for teachers, and it does not provide money for universal pre-K.

Both things that were included in Governor Bashir's budget proposal.

Instead, the bill calls for allocate additional money through the state's main funding formula for K through 12 schools.

And House Speaker David Osborne says the bill strongly suggests that school personnel deserve pay raises.

A separate bill.

House Bill one would spend $1.7 billion on one time investments in public safety infrastructure and economic development and pay down some of Kentucky's pension liabilities.

The bill calls for $150 million for drinking and wastewater infrastructure.

75 million for site development to help attract new business and nearly 30 million for river port and airport programs.

The progressive leaning Kentucky Center for Economic Policy is critical of the House Republican plan.

Jason Bailey, the group's executive director, put out a statement saying, quote, The House budget proposal released Tuesday falls short of delivering the budget we need and adds billions more to already overfunded reserves.

The proposal provides too few resources to education and child care and leaves out pressing needs like housing in quote.
