Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear assured the Louisville Courier-Journal's editorial board that if the controversial Noah's Ark Theme Park receives state tax incentives, the contract will require that developers refain from religious discriminating in hiring.
Beshear said that he views the theme park as a job creation venture rather than a religious one and that he expects the group building it to comply with federal and state laws that bar discrimination.

“We’re going to require that anybody that we deal with is going to obey all of the laws on hiring and not discriminate on hiring,” Beshear said. “As a matter of fact, part of the language that will be in agreements … is that they are going to abide by the law in terms of hiring and that they agree not to discriminate, so we will certainly have the ability to deal with it if we find that it happens.”
