Beshear To Keep Contract With Climate Consultant
KENTUCKY....
Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear's administration says it will keep in place a $200,000 contract with Washington, D.C., climate consultant Center for Climate Strategies to do work and research in developing a Kentucky Climate Action Plan. Finance and Administration Secretary Jonathan Miller says "the contract does have merit and will benefit the commonwealth." The Government Contract Review Committee voted last week to disapprove the contract, but the vote was nonbinding. Some committee members say the group has a liberal bias against the role of the Kentucky coal industry in America's energy future.
