The statement: “Governor Steve Beshear failed to properly manage the budget and now we have a $166 million budget hole to fill this year.”

The facts: There is a shortfall in the state Medicaid budget this year, but Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear isn’t responsible for most of it, as Republican gubernatorial hopeful David Williams claimed.
