By Kyeland Jackson —

Attorney general Andy Beshear said he will sue Governor Matt Bevin today.

The action comes two weeks after talks on the budget proposal in the General Assembly fell through, prompting Bevin to issue an immediate 4.5 percent cut to universities. Beshear promised to sue Bevin for what Beshear claims was an illegal use of his power.

Originally reported by the Courier-Journal, Beshear said power to impose cuts lies primarily with the General Assembly.
