Job Creation Top Priority In Beshear's Second Term

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Economists say Governor Beshear's second term likely will involve the same problems Kentucky experienced in his first term - an ailing economy, widespread job losses and dwindling state revenues. But officials are predicting modest growth over the next couple of years. Even with an economic upswing, budget experts believe the state will face a deficit of more than $300 million in the next fiscal year. Beshear says his top priority in his second term will be job creation.
