Crafting a new state budget looms as the overarching issue for Kentucky lawmakers when they convene for their regular session in 2014. A group of the state's top economists recently forecast that modest growth in Kentucky's economy will add nearly $500 million in revenue to the state's General Fund budget by 2016. But Beshear has warned the additional cash won't be enough to cover the needs of state government.(AP Photo/Timothy D. Easley, File)
