Thank you Marise for your passionate words.
I would like to begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we gather today, and pay my respects to their Elders past and present.
I extend that respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples here today.
Good morning everyone, it’s great to have you here with us today on International Women’s Day.

FRANKFORT, Ky. â Gov. Andy Beshear and the Kentucky State Police (KSP) are taking time this week to acknowledge and celebrate National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week (April 11-17), a time set aside to recognize the more than 200,000 individuals throughout the United States who play critical roles in the delivery of public safety services.
âOften called the âheroes behind the headsets,â KSP telecommunicators provide a lifeline to both citizens in need and troopers in the field,â said Gov. Beshear. âThey serve as an unseen, but vital link in keeping law enforcement officers and Kentuckians safe at all times, day or night.â

More than a year into this pandemic, it still feels like we are adjusting to a new normal. Many of us have set up new areas to work from home, created new routines for ourselves and our children, and found new ways to stay connected with friends, family and health care. For ourselves and many others, having reliable internet access is a core aspect of this new normal.
Virginians are struggling with unreliable access, and some have been forced to deal with a rise in unnecessary charges and data caps. In 2020, Commonwealth Connect reported that approximately 660,000 rural Virginians lack broadband internet. That number is believed to be even greater when factoring in those who lack access due to affordability around the commonwealth.
