FRANKFORT, Ky. — On this week’s ‘In Focus Kentucky’ program, we are bringing you highlights from this year’s inauguration of Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Lieutenant Gov. Jacqueline Coleman, D-Ky.
On Tuesday, Dec. 12, the official inaugural events kicked off with Inaugural worship service at the First Christian Church, 316 Ann St, followed by the Inaugural parade which started at Capital Avenue at the end of the Main Street bridge and ended in front of the Capitol. Multimedia journalist Mason Brighton recaps the festivities along the parade route during this segment.
Also during this segment, we share highlights from Lieutenant Gov. Jacqueline Coleman's inauguration speech.
“Thanks to historic economic investment, unparalleled job creation and record budget surpluses, Kentucky ranks #2 in the country in economic development. And as somebody from Burgin, one of the smallest towns in the commonwealth, the number I am most proud of is that Kentucky skyrocketed to #3 in the nation in rural job creation. Because Gov. Beshear and I believe in a Kentucky that lifts people up, and not one that leaves people out,” said Lt. Gov. Coleman.
