Beshear Lifts Restrictions On Utility Trucks

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...To help restore electricity in areas hit by severe weekend storms, Governor Steve Beshear has lifted some restrictions on utility trucks making their way into or through Kentucky. Beshear says the hot temperatures make this a terrible time to be without electricity, and that's why he felt it important to remove the bureaucratic red tape that might delay restoration of power. Transportation Secretary Mike Hancock issued the emergency declaration Monday, allowing utility crews to bypass weigh stations in their trucks.
