The newly created board would develop the first draft of the states two-year road budget and base it on an objective scoring system. The governors administration now creates the plan sent to legislators. Among other duties, the nine-member Kentucky Transportation Board would compile a list of candidates for Transportation Secretary, then send the names to the governor. He or she would choose from that list. The bill also would make the Transportation Secretary subject to Senate confirmation the only cabinet leader in a governors administration with that requirement. The measure is sponsored by three Republicans in the GOP-controlled legislature Sen. Jimmy Higdon; vice chair of the Senate Transportation Committee; committee chair Sen. Ernie Harris; and Senate President Robert Stivers. It was prefiled on Nov. 5, the day Democratic Gov.-elect Andy Beshear defeated incumbent Republican Gov. Matt Bevin. Higdon said the timing was coincidental. Its not directed at (anyone), he said. We had no idea who the governor would be when that was filed. Instead, he said the proposal is an effort to insulate the state's transportation spending process from the politics that for years have held sway over road projects. It's modelled after a similar approach in Virginia, where an independent board oversees transportation projects, he added. A governor still would have some influence over the Kentucky boards makeup. But first, the Kentucky Association of Counties, the Kentucky League of Cities and the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce would nominate one person from each of the states six Congressional districts as potential members, as well as three at-large candidates. --- kin to all that throbs <cite>Antifar posted [p:930696629] in KY Republi...
