Kentucky Auditor Allison Ball is asking Gov. Andy Beshear’s administration to dip further into a pot of money he used to temporarily fund senior meals to pay for a long-stalled law to help kinship care families.
On Monday, Beshear announced his administration transferred $9.1 million to fund the senior meal program a month after pandemic-era funding expired. The temporary funding came from a $25 million pot of money for a previously-funded study that never took place and will help fund senior meals through the fiscal year.
