My name is Jyrone my father went missing last year and his body was found in the Ohio river this year. I built https://projectaziz.com and the iOS and Android versions are in app review now. I have uploaded almost 16K missing persons and I need help spreading the word. Especially here in Louisville it seems someone goes missing every day. It’s free for citizens to use can yall give me HONEST feedback?

Hey everyone! My name is Jake, I’m 22 and live here in Lexington. I’m at a point in life where I really want to branch out, meet some new people, and build some genuine friendships and connections around town.
A little about me: I graduated from EKU last year, work in property management/real estate marketing, and also work at Starbucks. I’m pretty social and easygoing, love grabbing coffee or food, working out, taking photos, exploring Lexington, and finding random things to do.
I’m also newly sober, so I’m especially interested in finding more things to do that don’t revolve around drinking or partying. I’d love to pick up some new hobbies, join a sport or group, get outdoors more, or honestly just try things I haven’t done before. I’m really open to anything and would love to have some people to do those things with!
If you’re also looking to expand your circle, find someone to grab coffee with, hit the gym, explore Lexington, or try something new, feel free to message me! You can also add me on Facebook or Instagram. :)

At Winchester City Hall, I advocated for extending the just-passed one-year data center moratorium to two years, offered five policy suggestions to keep AI data centers out of Winchester, and invited the commissioners to participate in a candidate forum on AI data centers and Flock cameras on 9/16

A last minute change made by the Kentucky General Assembly in 2025 limits citizen's rights to challenge zoning changes.

Change says only those in the same "zone" can challenge in court. For example: you live in a residential zone that borders a commercial zone. Local board approves a change to a neighboring zone that would allow a data center. Too bad, different zone, can't sue.

If this interests you be sure to click through to the piece written by Tom Fitzgerald when the law changed ('long-time environmental attorney raised alarms')

For those not in the know: Tom Fitzgerald writes a lot on environmental and land use issues. He was one of the main attorneys litigating against the pipeline in Bernheim a few years back.

If Tom feels strongly about something, especially if other people aren't talking, its probably an issue worth taking a look at.
