Truth To Power | KRC's 2026 KY Legislative Review | The Good, The Bad & The Ugly | 5-8-26

This week on Truth to Power, we continue our community conversation focused on reviewing the results of the 2026 Kentucky Legislative Session. Last week we focused on Housing & Energy Bills with the Metropolitan Housing Coalition. This week we bring you "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly!" Every year, the Kentucky Resources Council (KRC) publishes The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly to give Kentuckians a clear-eyed look at how the General Assembly’s decisions are shaping our environment, energy systems, and communities. This year brought a mix of outcomes: some meaningful progress, but also bills moving Kentucky in the wrong direction by prioritizing polluters over people, sidelining science, and weakening protections for vulnerable communities. KRC’s legislative wrap-up highlights key wins, setbacks, and everything in between, with a focus on what these decisions mean on the ground for communities across the Commonwealth. This virtual presentation hosted by KRC's Executive Director, Ashley Wilmes, took place on Monday, May 4th. Watch the presentation at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wop4g3NU1s.
