on attica scott: fight the power
Go get them, Attica! David Cooper
Thank you for this great interview! Attica will be such a vital voice in Frankfort, and Louisville should be proud to have her in our, and Kentuckys, corner. Its easy to get frustrated by politics and government these days, but Attica proves that hard work, sincere leadership, and a willingness to speak up still count for a lot. Im rooting for her.

on EDITORS NOTE: Bevin, Ouster-in-Chief
First of all, the Ark Park won a lawsuit against the previous administration for withholding the incentives … Second, in the irony of all ironies, he is finally taking action to save the pensions of the government employee unions that vote reliably Democrat, despite the Democrats not adequately funding their pensions for decades. I disagree with Bevin on that. He should have let their pension system go bankrupt.
