TUESDAY WAS A ROUGH DAY FOR COVINGTON
Commissioner comments go region-wide, the firefighters take their message to the fire trucks, a fake Facebook profile weighs in on city issues, and should the mayoral search be kept private? (No.)

STATEWIDE CANDIDATES COMING TO COVINGTON
We're less than a month away from electing Kentucky's statewide constitutional office holders. Three of them are coming to speak to the Optimists Club at Chez Nora in Mainstrasse.

BESHEAR RAISES MOUNTAINS OF CASH
No wonder the Tea Party compares him to President Obama. He raises tons of money just like Barack! $9.5 Million? Wow.
|
BESHEAR VS WILLIAMS DEBATE COVERAGE
Does it even matter at this point? Seems the race was written off long ago.

POVERTY RATE AT ALL TIME HIGH
Seriously. In America. An all time high.
|
MAYBE BECAUSE KENTUCKY IS IN CHARGE?
"Mitch McConnell heads up Senate obstructionism, Rand Paul blocks legislation left and right, Geoff Davis is pushing the GOP’s plan to roll back safety protections on everything, Ed Whitfield is leading the fight to destroy the EPA and Hal Rogers holds the purse strings."

COVINGTON'S NEWEST HISTORICAL MARKER
Source: Covington Independent Schools
Our city has historical markers to share and the newest one is outside the building that currently houses the Covington Independent Public Schools Board of Education and Adminsitrative Offices. Why? Because the building was Northern Kentucky's first hospital and the original location of St. Elizabeth. In the photo, you see Superintendent Lynda Jackson with members of the Kentucky Historical Society.

FINALLY! WE CAN ALL START SHOOTING CRANES!
Sandhill cranes were nearly extinct a century ago because of overhunting and now Kentucky wants to do its part to take us back there. We may soon be the only state east of the Mississippi River to allow it.

CINCINNATI & NORWOOD AMONG BEST FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
According to America's Promise Alliance those two cities rank highly nationally.
