Aaron and Nate point out a couple of bills sitting on the Governor\u2019s desk that we\u2019re hoping to see him use his veto pen on before the legislature returns on April 13th for their final two days of session, to override any vetoes that they can before they adjourn for the year. Kimberly brings us the news we need in under 5 minutes, THEN, we\u2019re very excited to share Aaron's interview with Amy McGrath - - updating you on what this patriot has been up to since her two campaigns that shook up the KY political establishment. We then close with our action and events calendar & a few key in-person opportunities to create a more compassionate commonwealth.
