Bevin Blasts Beshear via Text

“I would strongly suggest that you get your house in order. Your office is becoming an increasing embarrassment to the Commonwealth.”  

Attorney General Andy Beshear says that's the text message he got from Governor Matt Bevin this week. Beshear's office released the text to the media, and through a spokesman, said sending the text was "beneath the office of governor". 

Bevin says Beshear's release "conveniently and intentionally" left out an included link to a news story about accusations that an attorney general's office investigator made "patently false and misleading statements" to a grand jury in Boyle County in a Medicaid fraud case. The judge threw the case out, based on the investigator's conduct. 

Beshear has sued Bevin three times already this year over the governor's actions, including education funding. Recently, the state Supreme Court ruled against Bevin in that, and against Bevin in his re-appointing the U of L board.
