In a final show of pettiness, Bevin keeps Beshear out of mansion until last minute
Joseph Gerth, Louisville Courier Journal
In a move that should surprise absolutely no one, former Gov. Matthew Griswold Bevin, who never even lived in the Governor’s Mansion, waited until the last minute to turn the stately old building over to his successor.
New Gov. Andy Beshear wasn’t given access to the mansion until 10 p.m. Monday, giving him and his staff just two hours to prepare for his official, private swearing in at midnight, and a reception, before hitting the sack in advance of a long day of festivities.
Paul Patton said when he was sworn in in 1995, Brereton Jones moved out of the Governor’s Mansion the weekend before and turned the building over to him two days before he would take the oath of office.
And when Patton left office eight years later, he said he vacated the mansion and turned it over to then Gov.-Elect Ernie Fletcher on Friday, four days before his inauguration.
Four years ago, Steve Beshear turned the mansion over to incoming-Gov. Bevin perhaps as much as two weeks before Bevin took the oath of office, Beshear’s former spokesman said.
