Former President Speaks In Pikeville
For the first time since Jimmy Carter's visit in 1997, the city of Pikeville was visited Thursday evening by a former President. Bill Clinton, in an effort to win votes for his wife, Democratic Presidential Candidate, Hillary Clinton, spoke to a crowd of thousands at the Eastern Kentucky Expo Center.
He was more than an hour late, but the crowd seemed to tolerate the situation well. He asked voters to remember when he was President and to bring those times back. He mentioned coal as a part of his wife's plans for the future. He also spoke on her plans for national insurance coverage.
Pike County officials indicated they've invited Hillary Clinton to come sometime in May.
