Gov. Andy Beshear - Team Kentucky Update 05.07.26

Published | Video Starts at 46:22

Today I'm naming everyone involved in putting on the Kentucky Oaks and the Kentucky Derby as this week's Team Kentucky All Stars. This is one of the biggest sporting events in the world. It brings about 150,000 in person attendees and generates around $440 million for our economy. That means it takes thousands of workers to make this a success. I'm talking about our hospitality employees, Kentuckians who work in our hotels and our restaurants, our Uber and bus drivers making sure that folks have a safe ride home. (46:22–46:30)
