Most individuals don’t seem to understand how this works.

Public schools don’t have an arbitrary set amount of funding. Public schools receive funding based on the number of children who live in the school district, even if they don’t attend that public school.

Even if children are homeschooled, the public school still receives the same funding for them as if they attended the school.

The money allocated for school vouchers is coming from the same money that wouldn’t exist if your child weren’t alive and living in the school district. It’s essentially your child’s personal funding for school. You’re not taking anything away from anyone by doing this.

Low income children would benefit the most from this. Their parents can use this voucher to enroll them in a private school and receive a superior education for free if they are unhappy with the public school. Again, this money is essentially their child's personal funds anyway.

Amendment 1: Requires all voters to prove US citizen status; prohibits voting by "persons convicted in any court of competent jurisdiction of treason, or felony, or bribery in an election, or of such high misdemeanor"; prohibits voting by jailed persons*; prohibits voting by "idiots and insane persons"**

*There is an important difference between being jailed and being convicted.

**There is no definition of who or how someone is considered to be an idiot or insane.

Amendment 2: Allows for government funds to be given to private, charter, and other non-public education institutions.

Found in a public bathroom in Lexington, KY. Has very fash-y vibes and I was wondering if one of y'all might know what it's for.

Does anyone have any spare cans or old pantry items,maybe possibly a food box/bag they could slide me to hold me over till my first paycheck,I got employed and start tomorrow but I'm scrapping my food together already

KY is devolving at warp speed it seems. Sheriff shooting a judge, more school lock downs and guns at schools, and general anger everywhere.

I had a woman damn near come out of her car this morning because I was not driving in the middle lane with everyone else yet because of road debris approaching an accident. I wasn’t trying to get past anyone or get an advantage, just cruising behind the car in front of me, just over a little bit because tires are expensive. She rolls up on me and just loses her ever loving mind. Had my kid with me so I just let her go and the truck behind her understood what I was doing….because they were doing the same thing and he let me in.

There’s just so much anger any more and people aren’t looking at the situation that there’s a person on the other side too that may have a reason for what they’re doing. My family and I moved to KY during the pandemic and it’s getting bad enough that I’m really thinking we may go back. I just don’t feel like my kids are safe here anymore and it’s sad because this is the state I grew up in.

Show love and compassion y’all. We’re all just trying to get through life.

Hello All,

I'm not sure where to ask this and I don't want a bunch of hate for asking a question. I have seen and heard and been emailed about voting "no" for Amendment 2 in November. I have heard a lot of reasons to not support this bill. My question is does anyone on here support the bill? If so, why? Again, genuine curiosity. I have not decided whether to support it or not.

Such a shame. I'm from eastern Kentucky and have family in Springfield. This is so sad they are scared I'm ashamed. All this talk about immigrants when the ones actually terrorizing the community are white racists with guns.

All I have to go on is someone saying they posted a photo of a flier that was being circulated in Maysville? If this is true shouldn't we all kind of have this on our radar?

After the events of the past week in the district, and since January this year, we need to start pressuring the school board to take action on improving school safety. If you’re available, please come to the school board meetings and express your concerns for the safety of our students and staff. Below is the information for the monthly meetings:

The Rowan County Board Of Education meets the third (3rd) Tuesday of each month at 6:00 P.M. Meeting place will be announced. The meetings are open to the public.

2024 Regular Board Meeting Dates

Third Tuesday At 6 p.m.

Location Of Meetings: Rowan County Board Of Education

Our SROs need support and training. Multiple have asked to attend trainings and improve the preventative measures in place and they have been denied or ignored. If we don’t want to become another statistic on the evening news, we have to act now while it’s still fresh on everyone’s minds. Our superintendent is not going to act and will keep parroting the generic response from legal counsel unless we pressure the entire board to secure our schools.

So, I've always loved Halloween, and especially carving a jack o lantern. One of my fondest memories of my childhood is if my dad buying me a pumpkin so large that to lift it into the truck took six men, and a massive pair of coveralls. This gourd was so large , I CRAWLED ISNIDE TO FINISH CLEANING IT!!

So, after that, I have always wanted to grow a giant pumpkin. So this year I gave it a shot. Considering life managed to kick me in gonads in a way that kept me out of the garden after it was all established, the pumpkins did pretty good.

I have 2 over 100 pounds, probably 20 basketball size or bigger, and 8 between 30 to 75 pounds.

Now here is my problem.... I wouldn't mind selling the majority of them, but it's difficult to find a fair price. I know the color, shape, and general appearance will alter pricing, but I don't even have a starting point yet.

I came here hoping to find someone that's got experience with this. People have already been calling and stopping to ask about them, so I figure why not ...

Any help would deeply appreciated.

I'm bored and broke so I'm looking for some hangout spots or community spots

Me and my roommate are new and jobless, looking for any and all work or quick buck/food if you need anything done

“A lot of years of thinking, researching, and trying different whiskeys went into creating ROW 94,” Bentley said. “It’s been an evolution — from drinking basically any whiskey handed to me back in college, to it becoming something I enjoy tasting and sharing with friends. I knew I wanted 94 proof because I like some bite, and that I wanted it aged for at least 4 years since that’s when it starts to taste best to me. ROW 94 is a serious whiskey that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and I’m glad we finally get to share it.”

ROW 94 is distilled at Green River Distilling Co., founded in 1885 and renowned as the 10th-oldest licensed distillery in Kentucky.

Made with 70% Kentucky-grown corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted and row barley, ROW 94 is a 94-proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey aged for 4 years in new white oak barrels with a level 4 char “that penetrates deep into the staves for greater complexity and character,” according to a release.

The release continues, saying “It boasts heavy notes of vanilla and toffee to start with a subtle green apple flavor underneath. The whiskey finishes with hints of honey and tobacco.”

ROW 94 ($39.99/750ml) will first be available in Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, Colorado, and Arizona, with additional states slated for 2025. It is also available nationwide for purchase at row94whiskey.com.
