In the past few days the issues we work on have been featured pretty prominent in the news.

The Courier-Journal published an article on a legal battle around the expansion of a mountaintop removal/valley fill site in Leslie County and on the issue of MTR more generally.  It mentions Kentuckians For The Commonwealth, the Stream Saver Bill, and our I Love Mountains Day rally.  It is a really good article by James Bruggers with lots of good supplementary information and photos.

Also in The Courier-Journal recently was an editorial decrying the potential effects of proposed budget cuts on state services and the lack of leadership being shown by state legislators in solving this problem.

Finally, this weekend the Lexington Herald-Leader published several letters to the editor by KFTC members and others supporting HB 262, our Tax Justice legislation, which would make our tax system more fair and raise additional revenue for state services.  You can read the letters on the KEJA blog.
