Frankfort, KY – Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear says he's looking to be economical in planning his December 13th inauguration, the start of his second term. Beshear says he wants to be thrifty in planning the privately funded inaugural celebration that traditionally lasts a full day. It begins with a parade through Frankfort and ends with an elaborate ball at the Capitol. Beshear defeated Republican David Williams and independent Gatewood Galbraith in the general election despite a first term marked by an ailing economy and widespread job losses.
