#Kentucky governor #AndyBeshear has sent a letter to the office of #Republican senator #MitchMcConnell – requesting an update on his condition, as concerns grow about the lawmaker’s health since he was admitted to hospital on 14 June. “As Governor – and a fellow public official who understands the commitment we’ve made to the people we serve – I am requesting the Senator provide an update on his current health status,” Beshear said in a statement. “Allowing speculation to continue in the media is not fair to the Senator or to Kentuckians, and my hope is that this provides him the opportunity to share the information in a transparent manner, direct from the source. I wish him a safe and speedy recovery.” #uspol #auspol #Zombie
