The upcoming legislative session. A  $31 billion unfunded public pension liability. An unsustainable Medicaid system. Kentucky's costly, but ineffective, public education system. Kentucky's battle with methamphetamine and prescription drugs.

There's plenty to talk about on the bi-weekly Bluegrass Monday segment of The Mandy Connell Show on Louisville’s 84WHAS today from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. (eastern).

Listen in at 84whas.com.
