Richards planning peabody meeting; Fletcher may attend "if constructive".

Speaker Jody Richards intends to follow up with his plans to meet with Peabody to obtain assurances that Peabody will locate in Kentucky if given the financial incentives package. He says he is reserving a seat on the airplane for Fletcher and Senator David Williams to join him.

In a letter today, Fletcher says he will go too "if Peabody views another meeting ... as constructive", though he warned that "it is unprecedented and unwise for Legislators to negotiate business deals for the state" and urged them to "to put aside partisan politics and return to Frankfort".
