Gov. Andy Beshear has sued Kentucky Senate President Robert Stivers and House Speaker David Osborne over legislation the Republican-dominated legislature recently passed that significantly reduces the number of Kentucky State Fair Board members the governor can appoint. There s only one executive branch, and it s headed by the governor, Beshear told reporters during an unrelated event Monday. And every time you try to move governance outside of there and let other people make decisions that aren t accountable to the voters . the less responsibility you get.
His lawsuit, filed Friday in Jefferson Circuit Court, aims to invalidate House Bill 518, which cut the number of governor-appointed voting members on the State Fair Board from 12 seats down to five and shifted more appointment power to the Kentucky agriculture commissioner instead.
