The Rotary Club of Elkton had a packed house at the Milliken Community House Wednesday for its weekly meeting as they welcomed Governor Andy Beshear as the keynote speaker.
The governor spent part of his 18 minutes of remarks recounting the first three years of his term, saying many Kentuckians did what they could to protect each other at the beginning of the pandemic.
He recounted becoming briefly emotional in the emergency operations center on the night of December 10, 2021 when he learned of the devastation from a tornado in his father’s hometown of Dawson Springs.
Governor Beshear says Kentuckians have shown the world their humanity and love for each other in response to the tornadoes and flooding in the eastern part of the state.
He believes Kentucky’s economic growth will continue in the next few months and says 2022 should be the second-best year for growth in history after last year was the best.
