FRANKFORT, KY – Governor Beshear, thousands of Kentuckians are counting on you.  It's hard when you don't have all the answers.  I get it.  We all face challenges in life that you just cannot figure out. It's painful and frustrating, and you let your pride get in the way of asking for help.  In the case of Kentucky's unemployment system, it's been almost a year trying to untangle the mess, and eventually you just have to figure it out.
