Appeal of redistricting ruling could cost $220,000 in legal fees
House Democratic leadership and Senate Republican leadership both know perfectly well that their redistricting plans weren't in the best interest of our Democracy and are wildly unpopular amongst the people of Kentucky, but they're still shamelessly and selfishly fighting to benefit their own careers and they're using tax dollars to do it.
Northern Kentucky Ready For I Love Mountains
The Northern Kentucky chapter of Kentuckians for the Commonwealth had a couple of events this past weekend to prepare members for I Love Mountains. The first, an event at The Crazy Fox Saloon, was in Newport, Kentucky, and focused on meeting new people to talk about the concerns people have with mountaintop removal mining. The second event, held at Groove Coffee House in Covington, Kentucky, was a pinwheel and postcard making party, and was an opportunity for members to be a part of I Love Mountains Day, even if they cannot make it to Frankfort tomorrow.
A Day in the Life of a First Time Lobbyist
Reflections from a first time lobbyist by central Kentucky KFTC member Jessica Barnett

They began by showing me around the Capitol Annex where the Senate and House of Representative's offices are located. Although it was confusing at first, by the end of the day I had a general idea of how to get around.
