Louisville as an 8 means the committee had them somewhere 29-32 on their seed list.

There's literally not a metric on their team sheet that is that low.

TARC is facing a massive $30 mil shortfall, and Louisville's public bus service could take a major hit. Route cuts and worse bus frequency are both on the table.

Here's what to know about how we got here, and how you can still weigh in today and tomorrow: https://t.co/XkiUhVhbm9

Somebody makes a claim. You go see if it’s true. In this case it is not.

It’s tempting just to accept a claim when it fits your side’s narrative.

It’s also tempting just to reject a claim when it doesn’t fit!

Better to check.

The @WSJ is particularly good at this.

NEW: Judge Reed O'Connor has recused himself from one of Elon Musk's lawsuits, against the coalition of advertisers. This comes after NPR reported on Reed's investment in Tesla and Musk's forum-shopping by filing in Reed's district, where none of the parties are based.

Do you think the public should know how much bills are estimated to cost as they move through the Kentucky General Assembly? Lawmakers can keep those estimates "confidential" and hide them from the public whose tax dollars they are spending. From @JoeSonka https://t.co/V7m8hUSf4V
