After a surprisingly close primary win for Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin, I asked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell if he would offer support for Bevin's re-election in the November general election. McConnell and Bevin have a complicated relationship stemming back to Bevin's campaign to unseat McConnell in 2014. The McConnell team labeled their opponent Bailout Bevin, calling him a con man and liar. Today on WHAS Radio, Senator McConnell promised to fully support Bevin's re-election. Kentucky's senior senator also touted attorney general candidate Daniel Cameron, a former McConnell staffer. Kentucky has not had a Republican attorney general since the 1940s. š» @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell on helping @GovMattBevin win in November, acrimony between @realDonaldTrump & @SpeakerPelosi, value of impeachment for @GOP, and raising cigs

McConnell zings Dems’ Derby pick, eager to run against socialism in 2020
š» Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell jumped on the radio with me to talk about chicken chomping Democrats, why he is proudly called The Grim Reaper, defining socialism in 2019, if investigating the investigators is overkill, Speaker Nancy Pelosi calling AG William Barr a criminal, Sen.

Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren demanded Jeremy Kappell's firing without ever speaking to him or communicating with him in any capacity.

Financial experts: here’s how to save $300+ million on KFC Yum Center payments. Oh, and where is that other $29 million?
In a radio chat this week, I asked Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer about an expert's plan that could save $300 million paying off the KFC Yum Center ($10m per year). The mayor seemed underwhelmed. The Metro Council is considering tripling the local tax on insurance premiums. Taxpayers are incensed that the mayor and council aren't first considering budget cuts. Mayor Fischer and I also discussed the odd logic of paying criminals to curtail crime without LMPD guidance, JCPS sickouts, the Passport Health meltdown, and more. šļø AUDIO Below are the financial plan details submitted by businessman Denis Frankenberger and affirmed by former attorney general Chris Gorman and other financial experts who wish to remain anonymous.
