Online, June 25, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Democrat Kimberly Greenwell is commending fellow democratic State Representatives, Jim Wayne of Louisville and Melvin Henley of Murray, for returning their overtime pay to the Commonwealth for a weeklong special legislative session in May.
Greenwell said, "I agree that if lawmakers, such as my opponent, incumbent republican Ron Crimm, would have done their jobs and passed the state budget, then the overtime pay for lawmakers would have been unnecessary. Rep. Crimm states that Kentucky has a spending problem. I would agree that spending $63,000 a day on a special session in this economic climate is in fact a spending problem. Crimm should follow in the footsteps of his fellow legislatures and give Kentuckians their hard earned tax money back."
