The Kentucky General Assembly created the MAHA Kentucky Task Force this year as a way to implement the Trump administration’s principles in the commonwealth. Sen. Craig Richardson, R-Hopkinsville, is among its members.
Gov. Andy Beshear said during the event Wednesday that the state has invested more than $230 million to support productions since 2022, which helped create 22,000 jobs.
The governor’s request for individual assistance for Christian and Todd counties as well as public assistance for affected cities and counties and hazard mitigation for the entire state are still under review, Beshear’s office said.
After the U.S. Department of Education abruptly cancelled $34 million to Kentucky school districts and $18 million for the statewide education department, the state appealed. The federal agency has now denied $10.6 million in a case-by-case review.
