Beshear joins critics of predecessor's spree of pardons

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has said he wants to resist dwelling on his predecessor's actions but on Monday he spoke out against former Gov. Matt Bevin's spree of pardons , including one for a case he had a role in as attorney general. On the same day the new Democratic governor rescinded Bevin's work-requirement plan for some Medicaid recipients, Beshear joined the chorus of criticism against the Republican former governor for a pardon-granting binge on his way out the door. “We are still wading through the volume of documentation on those pardons," Beshear said while fielding questions from reporters about Bevin's pardons.
