Governor Steve Beshear says he's glad to have Barack Obama and his staff taking over things in Washington.
The first-term governor tells WBKO with Obama at the helm, things are looking up for this country... and for Kentucky.
But first they have to get down to business.
In the weeks since Obama's election as President of the United States, Beshear has not talked directly with the new leader, but has had discussion with the heads of Obama's transition team.
"We talked about opening the lines of communication because President-Elect Obama and his team are very interested in hearing what governors around the country need, what we think," states Beshear.
One thing Beshear says he plans to bring up to Obama once they do speak is pushing Kentucky to the top of the list when it comes to creating new types of energy.
