    Holding Power Accountable: Kentucky’s Schools, Police, and Politics (Jan 30, 2025)
    Jan 30 2025

    In this episode of Project Decentralize Kentucky, we dive into the latest headlines shaping our state. We discuss the return of body cameras for the London Police Department—will they actually increase accountability? Then, we break down the Fayette School Board’s decision on Superintendent Demetrus Liggins’ contract and the heated debate surrounding his leadership. Is he getting results, or just political cover?

    Next, we examine the latest legislative moves, from a GOP-backed bill enforcing gender-specific restrooms in Kentucky schools to the refiling of a bill limiting the governor’s pardon power. Plus, we analyze Governor Beshear’s reaction to Trump’s executive order withdrawing the U.S. from the WHO—what does it mean for Kentucky?

    Finally, we take a look at Kentucky’s booming disaster relief contractor industry. Is it a necessary response to crisis management, or just another way for well-connected companies to cash in?

    Tune in as we cut through the noise and hold Kentucky’s power players accountable.
