President Obama, Governor Beshear Discuss Bridge

President Barack Obama visited briefly with Governor Steve Beshear and his wife, Jane Beshear, at the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky Airport Monday for a follow-up discussion about a proposal to replace the Brent Spence Bridge that connects Kentucky and Ohio at Cincinnati. Beshear says President Obama remains very interested in getting that project going, and he assured President Obama that he would be working with Ohio Governor John Kasich to make something happen. Funding for the $2.4 billion project remains elusive.
