Kentucky towns don't have to be Anytown, U.S.A.

Posted by: Jessica Hays on January 20, 2011 at 07:00pm

 A couple of nights ago, Jon Stewart's The Daily Show featured a segment about Anytown, U.S.A.  Lots of towns are being impacted by many--but not all--states' refusals to pass tax reforms, especially since the impacts from the recession.


The impacts of Kentucky's chronic underfunding of important public necessities are not funny.  This clip, though, is, even as it raises important questions about how our values and the people's priorities for our neighborhoods and towns are being upheld--or not--by elected leaders.  Enjoy!
