Earlier this year our ally and partner in the Kentucky Economic Justice Alliance (KEJA), Kentucky Youth Advocates (KYA) published a report entitled "The High Cost of Being Poor in Kentucky" which outlined all the ways poor people in Kentucky end up paying more than wealthier people for essential goods and services in their daily lives.  Out of this a number of working groups were formed of community members to try to come up with policy options to solve these problems. 

KFTC member, Dana Beasley Brown, participated in one of these working groups and was interviewed yesterday by WTVQ about the difficulties faced by low-income people in Kentucky.  She does a great job and represents KFTC really well.  You can watch the piece online here.
