One great thing about the court system in this country is that any idiot can file a law suit.
Senate President David Williams sued Gov. Steve Beshear Friday, claiming the governor's veto of a $3.8 billion state highway spending plan is unconstitutional.
This is grand standing, and an exercise in money wasting, by David Williams. The bully from Burkesville just doesn’t like it when someone shoves back.
All Williams will accomplish here is to keep his name in the news and waste a few more of our tax dollars.
And the guys in the General Assembly wonder why no one loves them.

Williams will win this one. The case involving Fletcher's "spending plan" when the state didn't have a budget pretty much specifies that the executive can't spend money unless the legislative approves. The veto nullified the legislative approval and means not that the executive can spend highway funds as it sees fit, but instead that there IS no highway construction budget.
Beshear's veto may have been well-intentioned, but it's improper. Williams is right here.
