This week we continue to keep an eye on the Kentucky legislature — they are in day 57 of the 60 day session, just one more day before they adjourn for a two-week veto break -  this is when the bad bills come fast and furious. Aaron, Doug and Nema get an update from our guest, Chris Hartman, the Executive Director of Kentucky’s Fairness Campaign - then we close out with our housing and homelessness call to action.
