NEW SUPERPAC COULD PLAY ROLE IN NKY CONGRESSIONAL RACE
It's based in Alexandria:
It’s the latest development in a potential ramp-up for outside groups to get involved and potentially influence the outcome of the seven-candidate Republican primary for the open 4th Congressional District seat. One candidate, Lewis County Judge-Executive Thomas Massie, met with one Northern Kentucky donor, Richard Knock, who has been linked to wanting to start a Super PAC. However, Massie denies talking about that with Knock.cn|2

BEAR CHASING MAY BE PERMITTED IN KENTUCKY AGAIN
If your dog chases a bear up a tree, it's not considered fair to shoot it. But the hunting lobby wants to change that rule:
The wildlife commission is scheduled to meet at 1 p.m. Monday to reconsider the earlier decision so the hunters, known as houndsmen, would have about four weeks set aside each year to chase bears with dogs and to allow them to shoot some of the bears during one of those weeks.Herald-Leader/Roger Alford
"It is a powerful lobby," Democratic political strategist Danny Briscoe said. "It's not galvanized often but, when it is, it is incredibly strong."

QUESTION: IS HORSE RACING BAD?
What an awful question to consider in Kentucky, but national publications are comparing HBO's cancellation of the series Luck following the death of a third horse on set -- to the "thousands" killed in the actual racing industry:
It's a strange society in which a television show can't kill horses with impunity but the more than 50 thoroughbred tracks in the United States can. Perhaps the producers of Luck have more of an affinity for the horses, agreeing to quit after killing only three while people in the racing industry destroy thousands. Perhaps people believe a death on the racetrack is somehow more honorable than a death for HBO. Whatever it is, America's loyalty speaks volumes about how it prefers its horse deaths: Luck averaged only around 625,000 viewers per episode, but 14.5 million people watched the Kentucky Derby last year.GOOD
