LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- It looks like Kentucky's budget will be tight for the next two years.

The state expects to get a modest increase in revenues, but some moves made this year to save money can't be repeated.

Kentucky received millions in federal stimulus dollars in the current budget cycle, and that's not expected in the years ahead.

One state senator thinks there will be at least a $337 million deficit in next year's general fund -- but others say the budget will be tight so the state will have to hold the line on spending.
