GOOD NEWS NOT EXPECTED IN GOV BESHEAR'S BUDGET ADDRESS
The Governor rolls out his budget tomorrow:
The second-term Democrat has already warned state agencies that they should brace for spending cuts in the upcoming two-year budget. Initial projections were that the cuts would be in the 7 to 9 percent range. "The governor is finalizing details of his budget proposal," said Beshear spokeswoman Kerri Richardson. "He has repeatedly warned that the budget numbers are so miserable that Kentuckians should expect deep and painful cuts in most areas of state spending. This is easily the most difficult budget of this administration."Herald-Leader/Roger Alford

TRIUMPH OF DOWNTOWN CINCINNATI
It's enjoyable to watch the positive transformation in Downtown Cincinnati. UrbanCincy is a great online read for all things urban and today shared this editorial from the Business Courier:
But while tourists seem to think that downtown Cincinnati is pretty lively, quite a few residents of Greater Cincinnati still cling to the notion that downtown is a dark and forbidding place, with empty streets, boarded-up buildings and flying bullets.Urban Cincy
While the “empty streets” part once was true, at least in the evenings, downtown never was the desolate place some suburbanites envision; the number of Fortune 500 headquarters has always kept things humming, at least during the day.
And the business about high crime is illusionary – downtown has had exactly zero homicides in the past year, according to Cincinnati Police statistics. More likely people confuse downtown with the more crime-ridden neighborhoods of Over-the-Rhine and the West End, but even there, crime is decreasing.

IN MEMORY OF GATEWOOD GALBRAITH, IT'S TIME TO LEGALIZE MARIJUANA
Editorial:
But while Gatewood and I come from different places, now that I've removed my electoral blinders as a recovering politician and thoroughly analyzed the issue, I've concluded that Gatewood was right: It's high time to legalize marijuana. As I summarize below, legalizing cannabis would enable our commonwealth to better reflect universally-shared moral values, such as compassion toward the sick, justice in our legal system and economic opportunity for all.Herald-Leader/Jonathan Miller

PITINO'S LOUISVILLE TEAM IS RANKED #3 IN THE COMMONWEALTH
How about those Murray State Racers? 18-0 and now ranked #10 in the ESPN/Coaches poll. UK is #2 and Louisville is #21 (with a rough week ahead). That means the Cardinals are bringing up the rear this season in the Commonwealth.
