 The Appalachian Advantage plan is the simpler, better way to get the phone you actually want instead of paying hundreds of dollars up front. Simply pay the taxes up front and a few extra dollars on your monthly bill and get the phone you really want. It's called the Appalachian Advantage and is available at Appalachian Wireless. Governor Andy Beshear's draft state budget is still a work in progress, but it's causing some concerns on several fronts. One is right here in Eastern Kentucky in the form of the U.S. 460 Highway Construction Project in Pike County. Beshear's proposed budget would delay the project, in particular the construction of the Beaver Creek Bridge for upwards of five years. The budget removes the funding for the bridge, which is one of the most important phases of the project. State Representative Chris Harris told me today that he is confident the bridge will be finished in the original timeframe next year, and that the budget is still in development and is nowhere near final. Well, I think definitely it needs to be a priority. We've got a half a billion dollar road that's been constructed over the number of years that we're missing one key piece to finish it. So absolutely, I think it's a priority. And I have already been in contact with the administration letting them know that we're not happy or satisfied with what the proposal that's their explanation to me was that they've got new people and put together a $24 billion budget and a little over a month. There's going to be hiccups like this and that they've committed to me to do everything they can to get the money put back into the 2021 timeframe. I'm one vote on the House Budget Review Subcommittee, but I'm certainly going to be pushing for that and doing all that I can. I'm sure that Senator Willoughby will be doing in the Senate, you know, this is an important project not only for the citizens and people that want to use the brakes and the economic development aspect, you know, there's several fields there that they're playing that angle as well and working to try to get it. The new 460 replaces the current two-lane highway between Pikeville and the Elkhorn City area.
