I have some news, and it’s not news I was hoping to share: My position was one of 12 layoffs at the Herald-Leader today. I’ll have more to say later. For now: thanks to all the sources, readers, etc who read my work in Kentucky politics. I’ve really loved covering this scene.

"The sheriff had come and was showing (Bevin's) picture and asked if anyone had seen him – they said, 'Oh, yes, he's on set,' and they directed him that way. He was sitting in the dining room talking to the lead actor when he was arrested." courier-journal.com/story/ne…

Last week, I reviewed all 350 contract pages for Kentucky's 17 varsity sports head coaches. These were my biggest takeaways, from Mark Stoops' department-leading salary to coaches whose buyout payments to UK are connected to Mitch Barnhart: ⬇️ kentucky.com/sports/college/…

What did we learn after reviewing each of Kentucky’s head coaching contracts?

At least four Kentucky head coaches will be paid more than $1 million in the 2025-26 season.

The @heraldleader's reporting on accusations against Rep. Daniel Grossberg last year was exhaustive, in-depth, fair and (most important) factual. Those who came forward + shared their stories with us were courageous + offered well-documented details of his behavior. Today's ruling by the KY Legislative Ethics Commission affirms their stories + our reporting. I promise we'll continue this important work. kentucky.com/news/politics-g…

Probable cause Rep. Daniel Grossberg violated KY ethics code, commission finds

The Kentucky Legislative Ethics Commission said there’s enough evidence to suggest Rep. Daniel Grossberg violated the ethics code. The next step is an adjudicatory hearing.
