This week we discuss a crazy political pairing on the 4th anniversary of Breonna Taylor's murder. We also keep an eye on the Kentucky legislature - wrapping up day 50 of the 60-day session - we’ve got some updates on legislative lows coming out of the KY GOP  - then, we meet up with our enviro champion, Lane Boldman with the KY Conservation Committee in the campaign corner, to hear about a bill she’s battling, then we’ve got a great returning guest this week, Rep. Lindsey Burke, (D-75) who made some news last week by organizing a walk out of a committee hearing to protest an offensive, anti-choice bill -- then we close with our call to action!
