PRESIDENT OBAMA DISCUSSES BRENT SPENCE BRIDGE, TORNADO RECOVERY
Local 12 news anchor Rob Braun sat down with President Barack Obama for a one-on-one interview. 
Rob also asked about the Brent Spence Bridge. One of the Economic drivers in our area is the Brent Spence Bridge. You may recall you made a campaign stop right under it. Yes. It needs to be replaced. Is it on your priority list? Absolutely. 
(Snip)
Mr. President, 10 people have died in tornadoes, massive tornadoes that blew through our area. FEMA has approved disaster relief for all of those areas except one little town, it's called Moscow Ohio. It's on the Underground Railroad System. It's a beautiful little town. Any way that can be reconsidered? First of all, as you know as soon as these tornadoes hit, FEMA was on the ground, working with local officials.

Remember Sean Woods? He's the former UK standout whose final game heroics put the 'Cats up by one point just before they fell to Duke and Christian Laettner in what has been dubbed the greatest college basketball game of all time.
