CROSS-COUNTY CONNECTOR COULD GET $54 MILLION
Kentucky 536 through Boone, Kenton, and Campbell Counties still would not be built, but right-of-way design would be funded. The roads bill in Frankfort, in addition to several other Covington projects, includes funding for Taylor Mill Road and Hands Pike:
The plan also includes $21 million for the completion of the Ky. 16 widening in Taylor Mill and Covington and for widening an accident-prone portion of Hands Pike. “If the road plan passes intact April 12, it will be the best road plan for my district in several years,” said Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown.Cincinnati Enquirer/Scott Wartman

KENTUCKY WOMAN PUTS HOME-MADE UK QUILT ON EBAY FOR $150,000
A Bardstown woman spent years working on a quilt that includes the name of every player to suit up for the Wildcats since 1903. Now that it's finished -- she wants big bucks for it:
"I sat down and tried to figure out what someone would pay me if I was sewing for them," she told Page 2. "The hours I put into it, I tried to figure out the middle pay, and that's how I came up with that price. For 18 years straight I worked on it. It wasn't 40 hours per week, so I probably had six or seven years of full-time hours tied up in this. I'm just trying to figure out an honest price for it." $150,000 is the least she'd sell the quilt for, but she is hoping to surpass $200,000. The "buy it now" price is $275,000. There were zero bids as of Friday afternoon, with three days left to bid.ESPN

Now there is even less time to bid, and still no takers.
