Gov. Beshear looks to close out FY2020 without shortfall By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear announced Wednesday that the state is looking to close out fiscal year 2020 without a shortfall, despite the continuing challenges presented by efforts to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). The Governor also provided an update on the state's efforts to fight the pandemic as cases here and across the country have surged in recent days. "It is just so critical that we do the right thing, right now. Today I got a grim report. There is at least one casket maker that is having every single bit of its capacity sent to Georgia and Alabama and Texas, not on the delivery trucks that they're used to using, but on 18-wheelers," said Gov. Beshear. "Let's make sure that Kentucky doesn't end up in that position. What we're dealing with is life or death, but the good news is we are taking the type of aggressive action that should work." Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health, noted that among Kentucky's quick and aggressive actions is its robust testing regime. However, he warned against believing that alone is a panacea in this fight. "We have come light years away from where we were a couple months ago on testing, but we cannot test our way out of poor decision making," said Dr. Stack. "We cannot test our way out of bad judgement. You don't solve an infection with a test. You prevent an infection with a mask."
