Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear appoints 2 to state's board of education following criticism for not adding members
Fox News
Andy Beshear, the governor of Kentucky, appointed two new members to the state's board of education. He was previously criticized for not adding more members.
Republicans had criticized Beshear last week for inaction in dealing with the board’s membership. The controversy surfaced when the Courier Journal reported that the two seats had sat idle for more than a year on the 11 voting-member board.
"It was only after pressure was applied by journalists and Republicans that he met his legal obligation," state Republican Party spokesman Sean Southard said in responding to the new appointments.
