Kentucky Gov. Beshear announces he'll sign an executive order this week restoring voting rights to more than 100,000 people who've been convicted of felonies.
The Beshears are the first father and son duo to serve as governors in Kentucky history.
His inauguration ushers in an era of divided government. Republicans hold overwhelming majorities in the state Legislature. But in remarks after taking the oath, Beshear urged the state's leaders to resist the trend of political rancor and to reach across party lines. "We also have the opportunity, no, I think it's the duty, to prove to this commonwealth and this country that we can still govern," he said."Anger, insults, even hatred, have infiltrated the very sacred institutions of our government. And we see our neighbors viewing neighbors as the enemy ... But right here and right now, we have a moment in time, maybe a moment in history, to get this right.
