A podcast about politics and policy in the commonwealth of Kentucky
This week Jazmin explains several developments having to do with Louisville's policing, and Robert talks about changes to the medical cannabis system that passed during the legislative session.
This week we kicked off our interviews with 2024 candidates by interviewing Molly Gene Crain, the candidate for Kentucky Senate in District 27. She spoke about her passion for public service, her reasons for running, and what she hopes to accomplish in Frankfort.
Robert and Jazmin also discussed the end of the legislative session and the JCPS School Board coming to a conclusion on the issue of busing to magnet schools.
This week, both Jazmin and Robert are sick, but still managed to do a show about Andy Beshear's vetoes this session so far.
The last legislative day before the veto period has happened, so Robert and Jazmin recapped everything that passed which can survive Andy Beshear's veto, and everything that didn't pass. Plus, a deep dive into this biennium's budget.
Robert goes solo this week to discuss potential changes to the JCPS bussing scheme and gives a few legislative updates in the waning days before the veto period.
This week Robert talks through the progress HB 5 ("Safer Kentucky"), HB 2 (vouchers and charter schools), and SB 6 (anti-DEI) have made towards passage in the legislature, plus a few quick hits.
