Kentucky lawmakers have completed an override of Gov. Matt Bevin's veto of a more than $480 million tax hike that helps pay for increases in public education spending.
The Senate voted 20-18 Friday to override the GOP governor's veto of House Bill 366. The final vote followed a 57-40 House vote in favor of the override. Both chambers are controlled by Republicans.
The bill raises revenue for the state over the next two years. It includes a 6 percent sales tax on a variety of services, including auto and home repairs, to pay for higher classroom spending.
