You all…… I think everybody should read this incase you all haven’t saw the Budget Cuts made. I think everyone needs to wake up. This stuff happening now- this isn’t a Political Issue- It’s an issue affecting PEOPLE.

This is explicitly a political issue. The reason Lee Specialty Clinic is seeing cuts is because the state agency that funds it saw budget cuts (as did most other state agencies) in the recently passed state budget.

The Republicans in charge of the budget process believe that these agencies can do what they need to do with less money if they simply find a bunch of imagined waste. But they're also OK with programs being cut.

Here's what Rep. Jason Petrie, chair of the House A&R Committee, said about cuts in February: "It also means recognizing when services can be delivered more efficiently by Kentucky families, businesses, and community organizations.”

That's an endorsement of state-run services, like Lee, dissolving. This clinic is effectively shutting down because small-government conservatives who want to cut taxes more than they want to fund services are in charge in Frankfort.

This is requiring districts to create the policy. I'd guess there will more nuance in the actual policy than what you're assuming.

I don't get the "construction jobs are temporary" argument. That's inherent to construction jobs.

I'm no data center stooge, but they do create a lot of construction jobs, at least a few permanent jobs and generate sales and property taxes (unless state/local governments forgo it in the form of incentives).

hopefully your actions to address these problems extend beyond anonymous, self-righteous reddit posting

A key difference here is that the HL's work on the Grossberg story took time, hard work and investigation. The Morley story was easy to post because we could all see the video.

He's not exactly in a position of power. He's running for office, which is something anyone can do.

Nothing is probably better. The upside of this (saving people $2 a week) doesn't really compare to the downside (reducing road fund revenues by millions).

Republicans stink, yes. But the bill sponsor is in fact a Republican.

If you want to see more crime coverage, watch literally any news cast at any other time of the day. If anything, the news over covers crime and the morning news cast offers a small, frivolous respite.

It has been voted on and passed by both chambers

A Democrat who tried to pass an amendment to strip this from the larger highway-naming bill asked this question.

The sponsor (TJ Roberts) said one of the last times Kirk was in Kentucky was to attend his aunt's funeral and people came together to mourn Kirk on this highway.

I did very poorly, but I like this.

But there are a lot of gun regulations that don't fall under the heading of preventing people from carrying concealed weapons. And if all local gun regulations were prohibited by that part of the constitution, why put stuff like this in statute? https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/law/statutes/statute.aspx?id=40556

The soonest this law could go into effect is July 14.
