FRANKFORT, Ky. - The Old State Capitol in Frankfort will close for summer renovations after this coming Saturday.

Budgets for all three branches of state government have now passed one chamber of the Kentucky General Assembly.

The House spent more than an hour debating the details of the executive, legislative and judicial budgets before easily passing all three.

The House did slightly change Gov. Steve Beshear’s original executive budget. And lawmakers also cut the legislative and judicial budgets by 8.4 percent.

House Budget Chairman Rick Rand says the budget passed isn’t one to brag about, but helps the government maintain important functions.
