@GovAndyBeshear Treasurer-elect Mark Metcalf and the other newly elected constitutional officers are making their way down Capital Ave. in convertibles.

Picking up where @AcquistoA left off. With the inaugural parade just minutes away Capital Ave here in Frankfort has gotten a bit more busy. Sidewalks are a bit more packed the closer you get to the Capitol. @heraldleader

@GovAndyBeshear Communities hard hit by the 2021 tornadoes have been well represented. Mayfield Mayor Kathy Stewart O’Nan rode in shotgun in a city police car. A car representing Bremen, a town that lost 11 in the storm, and a large Dawson Springs contingent representing.

My colleague @RickOChildress has the goods on an Eastern Kentucky restaurant worth seeking out. https://t.co/ShgFac4UL0

Very interesting. The defendant's attorney requested a judge lower her murder charge to manslaughter after a prelim hearing. He denied it.

However, a Fayette Grand Jury later decided manslaughter was appropriate, and indicted her on Tuesday.

Been waiting until I got a photo of myself here but that hasn’t happened yet, so I’m just going to go ahead and share some ~personal news~. This week I started a visuals internship at @stltoday! I’m excited to get to know this city and its stories over the next few months.

[Luke Glaser @LukeGlaser1]

It’s good to be young in the mountains.

Thanks to @RickOChildress for highlighting this buregeoining movement! 😎

Worthwhile story from @RickOChildress: "...the money from the loans has taken several months to get them, they said, forcing them to dive into long-held savings and other funds just to be able to keep construction going."

House Impeachment Chair Daniel Elliot, R-Danville, says Goldy's conduct is "sufficient to warrant impeachment, removal from office, and disqualification to hold any office of honor, profit or trust."

Unanimous 'yes' votes.

Articles of impeachment against him will be adopted.
