Gov. Beshear: Relief needed now for small businesses, workers Op-Ed by Gov. Andy Beshear Frankfort, KY - COVID-19 has hit us hard. It has taken the lives of far too many and it has upended our economy, damaging Kentucky's small businesses and hurting our workers. I've seen that hurt and that sacrifice, but I've seen our small businesses doing it willingly, knowing that it's protecting the health and the lives of their customers, their employees and their community. That's why we have a duty to help them. I have submitted a bill (HB 191) to the state legislature that, if passed, would immediately provide $220 million of aid to small businesses and $20 million to nonprofits. It is the most significant aid package from Kentucky in generations, and it needs to pass as quickly as possible. The money is there. Thanks to the hard work of my administration, we have a better budget forecast than initially anticipated.
