{Kentucky}...Kerri Richardson, Governor Steve Beshear's director of communications, says Beshear's office is reaching out to the White House to see if Governor Beshear can meet with President Obama when the president travels to Cincinnati on September 22nd to urge Congress to approve his $447 billion jobs bill. Richardson says the governor wants to discuss several issues that are of importance to Kentucky families. The White House announced Thursday that Obama will deliver remarks at the I-75/71 Brent Spence Bridge that connects Cincinnati with Kentucky. Obama will be in the area of House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Obama mentioned the bridge in his speech to Congress last week when introducing his American Jobs Act. The estimated cost of repairing the bridge is $2 billion. The White House says, if Congress passes the president's measure, "we can put more Americans back to work while getting repairs like this done."
