The GOP-dominated KY legislature in the final hours of this session gave @RCforAG funding to “push back” against @EPA rules, some centered around curbing greenhouse gas emissions. Not everyone thinks it’s a good use of taxpayer dollars, though. kentuckylantern.com/2024/04/29/ken… @KYLantern

Powerful reporting from @mjphillis @travisloller.
In 2010, the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill erupted. Thousands of people helped clean it up. Some got sick and a settlement was supposed to help. In reality, many got little or nothing. Story with @travisloller and some details apnews.com/article/gulf-s…
Some of the people you will hear from in this story are unhoused and do not let themselves be defined by it. Home for them is their dog, their children. They're trying to move forward from unspeakable losses and need the support without the fear of being incarcerated. Do listen.
A new law called the Safer Kentucky Act will make it illegal for people to camp on the streets. It could also make life harder for people experiencing homelessness and service providers. @divya_krthk reports. lpm.org/news/2024-04-2…
