State Gov't spending record amount | Kentucky, Kentucky politics, election 2018, Governor Matt Bevin, General Assembly 2018, budget,

In the two-year budget period that ended last month, Kentucky state government spent a record $4.2 billion on personal service contracts, memoranda of agreement, and film tax incentives.

In the first month of the new two-year budget, a record $2 billion of state agreements were approved.

That one-month total exceeds the $1.8 billion spent on those agreements in the entire fiscal year which ended June 30, and is the most ever approved in a single month.
