While the capitol is being refurbished, temporary House and Senate chambers were built without galleries for citizens to attend in person. It will be like this for years. It was not an accident.
Thank you Teri. Sunshine is the best disinfectant and they want no part of it. Sadly, our rural Kentuckians are so focused on racism and White Nationalism that they are oblivious to the inherent effects on them. When there rural hospitals shut down and their children, elderly and disabled die from the MAGA and Republican Kentucky super majority they need mirrors to see who is to blame. Republican gerrymandering will be impossible to overturn. God can’t help us, that job is ours. Thanks for doing your part Teri.
Thank you, Teri. They knew exactly what they were doing when they excluded “the people “ from the people’s business. Witnessing democracy at work keeps everyone aware of its importance. Purposely hiding from the people smells like fear and corruption.
Teri, I so admire your commitment to your community. This is eye opening. Doesn't feel like they want to be seen right now, does it! I am a member of Indivisible here in Portland, OR. At 81 I am protesting louder than ever against this monstrosity of an administration. You inspire me greatly. Thank you.
Thanks for opening my eyes and changing my mind. When I originally read about the temporary facilities, I thought that public galleries would be an unnecessary expense considering that it was a temporary situation and livestream viewing would be available. But as you have spent countless hours sitting in those seats and enlightening your readers, I now understand your perspective and agree that the public will not be well served by the legislators meeting in bunkers.
Remember they also filed and passed House Bill 399 this year which allows lawmakers to have citizens arrested if they feel people are too loud or disruptive. This used to just be the discretion of state police. Ask why.

This makes me so angry! But I've been angry for almost 10 years now with things at the local, state, and federal level.
Thank you for informing us on this and all of the other items as well.
Thank you. You persistence is so honorable. I hope you find a way to keep them on the up n up and earn those taxpayers dollars.
