COLLEGE SPORTS COME AT A COST TO KENTUCKY TAXPAYERS
As March Madness concludes tonight with UK taking on Kansas in the championship game, the Lexington paper explains how expensive college sports programs are for taxpayers:
Spending on athletics has remained strong despite nearly a decade of cutbacks in state funding, which have pushed much more of the financial burden of attending college onto students. Since 2006, state lawmakers have cut spending on public higher education by $105 million, and an additional decrease of $62 million is expected over the next two years.Simpson met with presidents from all eight public universities. For more on that, click the link.
With that financial picture, one state legislator thinks Kentucky universities should be looking in an obvious place to cut spending.
"The various universities and their boards need to contemplate that which is the most important challenge ahead of them, and they have to put athletics in their proper perspective," said Rep. Arnold Simpson, D-Covington, who chairs the House budget subcommittee on higher education.

|HAVE YOU SEEN THIS AD THAT IS CAUSING A STIR IN NKY REPUBLICAN CIRCLES AND THE 4TH DISTRICT CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN?

The problem is that Rep. Davis never approved the use of his speech about Massie, the Lewis County Judge-Executive, and has said that he would not endorse in the GOP primary -- and Davis's wife is ticked:
She responded to commenters on a post made by state Rep. Adam Koenig, R-Erlanger:“Regarding the Massie ad that ran last night, Geoff’s remarks from the House floor were taken out of context and Mr. Massie did not even tell my husband about the ad prior to running it. Members of Congress are not allowed to use C-span footage for political ads. Geoff did not endorse Massie & in fact was not going to endorse in this race. I do not want someone who behaves in this type of poor behavior representing me in Congress.”cn|2

CHINESE DELEGATION IN KENTUCKY FOR HORSE SPORTS DISCUSSION
