Also today, Governor Beshear reacted to the state auditor's conclusions about the western Kentucky tornado relief fund.

The audit found incorrect payments of $329,000, which is less than 1% of the $42 million paid to victims of the December 2021 tornadoes.

The governor says this proves the fund was managed properly.

With an industry that averages at least 5% fraud in different funds.

Something below 1% is a well-run fund that is getting money to people who need it.

With the Eastern Kentucky Flood Relief Fund, they found the error rate at 0%, which is exciting as well, and shows that we have gotten better.

Between the first and the second, To be fair, though, the volume is also lower.

The challenge with all this, and it's FEMA's challenge, too, is to be fast, but try to be as accurate as you can.

I'm proud of how these funds were expended and the amount of help that they provided.

I wish they hadn't become a political football.

If we hadn't had a governor's race, they probably wouldn't have.

But certainly you see numbers from an auditor's office, you see numbers from the finance cabinet.

Both of them are really good showing this money has been spent well and it ought to be an approach and a vehicle that we use in the future because it's so hard for families to get the help they need immediately after and in the and in the interim.

And the rebuilding money that we're using really comes from lessons learned after various hurricanes and other instances when so many governors from the past would say all the money came in at the beginning and then we didn't have what we needed in the long term.

Rebuilding.

Also today, the governor said Kentuckians have wagered $656 million since sports betting became legal in Kentucky.

Also, 630 million of that is through mobile devices.

He says as a result, the state took in $8 million in tax revenue in September and October.
