Orchestra Update, Boehner Speech, Smart Meters, and David Williams Ads: Afternoon Review

In case you've eaten nothing but candy all day and haven't been able to pay attention to the news, here's a look at some of the things we've been covering today.Today is the deadline for Louisville Orchestra musicians to return to work. The orchestra board says it will begin replacing the players if they do not sign on by the end of the day. Meanwhile, musicians have launched a protest of sorts outside Louisville Orchestra offices at management’s plan to hire permanent replacement workers.Speaker John Boehner, R-Oh. spoke in Louisville today, emphasizing the need for leaders in Washington to work together without compromising core principles.Several Kentucky electricity co-ops will begin using a new technology called “smart meters” soon.

And the campaign for Republican David Williams has released its final ads in the race for Kentucky governor, but the GOP nominee isn’t in either spot.
