Aaron and Willie cover the breaking Kentucky political news you need: the Gov's State of the Commonwealth speech, an ironic contribution to the KY GOP Building Fund, and who's running in the May primaries. We then check in with new Kentucky Democratic House Caucus Chair, Rep. Cherlynn Stevenson about how the general assembly is proceeding so far, and her hopes for blocking some of the worst proposal looming in Frankfort.
