FRANKFORT, Ky. (LEX 18) — As Kentucky deals with another major flooding disaster, Governor Andy Beshear warns that the state will likely exhaust its newly implemented emergency disaster spending cap before the end of the year. "We're going to reach that cap at some point," Beshear said. The $100 million cap was established by the legislature in the most recent budget. This funding allows the governor to respond immediately to emergencies and natural disasters without additional approval.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (LEX 18) — Walking down the spiral staircase of the Franklin County Courthouse currently leads to an undesirable sight: dirty, smelly floodwater. It's a situation that was never supposed to happen. When the Franklin County Courthouse was renovated and expanded, architects designed it with flood prevention in mind. However, the relentless flooding in Frankfort proved too powerful this time, inundating the building and reaching several feet inside.
