Senate GOP leader seeks to reorganize Kentucky Horse Park Commission; calls for audit
FRANKFORT -- Voicing concern that the Kentucky Horse Park is being harmed by politics and patronage, state Senate Majority Leader Damon Thayer filed a bill Friday to reorganize its governing board, whose membership includes former first lady Jane Beshear.
Thayer, R-Georgetown, also called for a full state audit of the 1,224-acre park in the heart of Kentucky’s Bluegrass region in northern Fayette County. It opened in 1978.
Thayer, whose district includes part of the park, also said he has no confidence in the park’s executive director, Jamie Link; commission chair Alston Kerr; and Jane Beshear.
Link was selected as the park’s executive director in October 2014. He had been former Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear’s deputy chief of staff.
