Lt. Gov. Mongiardo and Educational Dir. Dulcie Hardin Touring the EdTech Center
We were very proud and honored to have Kentucky's Lieutenant Governor as our speaker at the 2008 Annual Meeting of the Crittenden County Economic Development Corporation on July 17, 2008.
Not only did the Lt. Governor show himself to be a charming, approachable person, but also a very knowledgeable individual. He stressed the importance of all elected officials working together for the good of the Commonwealth, no matter what party affiliation.
He also addressed the needs of education, the state of the healthcare crisis in Kentucky and new ways to use Kentucky coal. The development of a process called coal liquification is now being tested in South Africa. If this works Kentucky has the rights to purchase the technology and eventually be able to furnish approximately 300 years worth of fuel, replacing the need for foreign oil within the state.
