Now turning to state government, we caught up with Kentucky Senate President Robert Stivers and his hometown of Manchester.

That's in Clay County.

We asked for his reaction to the legislative session, particularly Senate Bill six, a big piece of legislation that did not pass.

You may recall that Senate Bill six was a sweeping measure that would have limited diversity, equity and inclusion officers ability to operate on college campuses and even shut them down.

It wasn't a question of to do something or not to do something.

It was a question of what's the appropriate thing to do.

And there was a lot of discussion between the House and the Senate, the respective members of each caucus and internally in the caucus, and no one could come to a consensus.

President Stivers talked about two areas that continue to be legislative priorities for Republicans in the Kentucky General Assembly.

We'll continue to want to decrease everyone's tax liabilities.

We did all this while dropping the individual income tax.

We want to make sure that public education is funded.

And we saw really good investment in public education this year.

And so I think those are the kind of the two things that we want to make sure that people get the picture of about.

Yes, we think there's potential for different educational opportunities, but public education has to thrive and survive.

And the other is we want to do this all in the framework of reducing taxes and being economically competitive.

I think it was a really good session overall.

I think everybody in the system had a good session.

Democrats and Republicans, executive and legislative branch.

I think we had a good session.

Anything we missed eight months from now will start it all over again.
