JCPS: $188,462,757 Deficit
“We don't believe that there was misuse of funds anywhere”
The district needs to cut an additional $80 million from the upcoming school budget... Chief Financial Officer Eddie Muns warned that the district's cash flow will dry up by October 2026 if the current level of spending continues.
"The signs are irrefutably clear. Next fall, we will be selling off assets in order to pay payroll and the fall after that we will not have enough assets to sell off anymore," said Tom Aberli, JCPS Executive Administrator of Budget, at the Sept. 16 board meeting. "And we will not reach that point because at that stage there will no longer be a Jefferson County Public Schools." Read more.

The Office for Civil Rights notified JCPS in late July that it had identified multiple compliance issues. In a letter, Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor wrote he was "deeply concerned that the district may be discriminating based on race" and he was "especially alarmed" by the district's funding formula that "explicitly discriminates based on the racial make-up of its schools, which is a clear violation of (the Civil Rights Act)."

Team Kentucky is sending over $118.2 million to six counties to buy out properties from willing and voluntary Kentuckians in flood-prone areas...

CEO of Bluegrass Institute Public Policy Solutions
Caleb comes to the Bluegrass Institute from the libertarian Cato Institute in Washington, D.C. where he was director of multimedia and host and executive producer of the Cato Daily Podcast, the institute’s lead public-facing product. He hosted the podcast for nearly 18 years, producing well over 4,000 episodes of daily interviews with policymakers, scholars and journalists. For his consistency and wide-ranging knowledge of policy issues, Brown was dubbed “The Voice of Liberty” by the late longtime Cato Institute leader and Kentucky native David Boaz.
He wants to address three challenges: 1. Housing, 2. Certificate of Need (CON) legislation, and 3. Over-regulation of business.
Fayette Co. Schools
A nonprofit group, Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, has called for an independent forensic audit of Fayette County Public Schools (FCPS) due to a $16.3 million budget deficit and a significant shortfall in the district's contingency fund, which was $26.3 million instead of the projected $42 million. The call for a forensic audit, which investigates financial records for irregularities, has gained momentum as the school board has approved an independent investigation into district spending, though the scope of this review is still being determined. The state auditor has also launched a special examination into the district's finances.
Pointed Questions
FCPS paid tens of thousands to lobbyists to promote tax increase, defend Liggins
Over the summer, the beleaguered Fayette County Public Schools paid tens of thousands of dollars to a Lexington marketing and lobbying firm that worked behind the scenes to promote a controversial tax hike and defend the reputation of Superintendent Demetrus Liggins amid a school district budget crisis.

Now is the time to contact your representative or senator to make know your interests and concerns on legislative matters. They are evaluating bills and working on a budget. Governor Beshear will introduce his budget in late autumn, which the legislature will ignore, and the representatives and senators will present theirs in late December or early January. Now is the time to make your requests known.

Bravo, President Trump
1) No Teleprompter Needed 2) No escalator, no problem
RevolverNews: For years, the American people have been gaslit, silenced, and lied to. We were told that Russiagate was real, that Trump was Putin’s puppet, and that the intelligence community had the evidence to prove it. But now, the whole thing is blowing wide open, thanks to President Trump and Tulsi Gabbard. And what’s being exposed isn’t just some shady political hit job; it’s something way bigger. This was an orchestrated coup attempt. A deliberate, calculated, and sinister scheme to take out a presidential candidate and then sabotage him once he won.
