As Andy Beshear and Jacqueline Coleman prepare to open up two new field offices in Louisville tomorrow, Lt. Governor Jenean Hampton is publicly disputing Matt Bevin's claim that they have a "great relationship," saying: "Look, I did not talk to him. I’ve never talked with him about the dismissals. My staff has not been treated right and I stand by my staff.”

From the Lexington Herald-Leader today
Lt. Gov. Jenean Hampton publicly disputed Gov. Matt Bevin on Friday, saying she has never talked with him about his administration’s dismissal of two of her three top staffers without her consent....[...]
Bevin told reporters in June that he has a “great relationship” with Hampton, that he had no intention to ask her to resign and that he had talked to her within the last week. He said neither one of them has said “one bad word” about each other.“Did the governor really say that? Do you stand by your story?” Hampton asked a Herald-Leader reporter during a brief interview.“I take issue with that,” she said. “Look, I did not talk to him. I’ve never talked with him about the dismissals. My staff has not been treated right and I stand by my staff.”
