Western KY NPR Story on Restoration with KFTC Member Interview

by Dave Newton last modified August-27-2008 05:14 PM

   Yesterday, the public radio service of Western Kentucky (WKPB 89.5, WKYU 88.9, WDCL 89.7, and WKUE 90.9) started airing a story about Restoration of Voting Rights for former felons including an interview of KFTC member and former felon spokesperson Tayna Fogle.  To listen to the piece online, click Here

"When Judge Overstreet gave me ten years, I completed that sentence, I didn't come out to re-enter into society to have a lifelong sentence."  Tayna Fogle

   Also quoted in the piece is Governor Beshear, Raul Cunningham of the Jefferson County NAACP, Teena Hablig with the League of Women Voters, Secretary of State Trey Grayson and many others.

Mostly good

This was mostly a great piece and very even handed.

The out of place assertions that restoration favors democrats and also the part going out of the way to talk about "murderers and rapists" was a little immature - but mostly it was wonderful.

Steve Beshear's quotes were better than I'd expected too.

Oh - and Tanya Fogle's part was great.
