Frankfort, Kentucky - State Capitol Building

This week in Frankfort, legislators and others spoke at great lengths about the state budget — but with few details about how Gov. Matt Bevin's proposed cuts would be implemented.

Also, a religious freedom bill threatens to override local anti-discrimination laws.

Here is this week’s edition of Kentucky Politics Distilled. (Listen in the audio player above.)
