Alison Lundergan Grimes' campaign sent out an email blast this morning to supporters saying that a GOP poll shows that a statistical dead heat exists between Grimes and Senator McConnell.

The Kentucky 2014 Legislature is at the 42 % mark as of February 11, 2014. This means some 367 bills have been filed with the House of Representative and 133 with the Senate. At this writing, two bills, SB 7 and SB 113 have passed both Houses and gone to the Governor for his signature.

Out of the 564 bills trying to become law, we believe 38 will directly impact the counties and communities of West Kentucky.

To see our top 38, follow the jump.

(February 13, 2014) - The Kentucky Legislature has primarily two major functions.

One is to design and pass a budget for the operations of Kentucky State Government every two years...The other important job is to declare and approve the legislative districts boundaries for House of  Representative and Senate races.

As a futurist, I am a bottom feeder.

Unlike my colleagues in the big Washington DC or New York think tanks, I collect most of my raw data from the streets. I have trained myself over the years of studying how disruptive technology impacts our local and regional daily lives. With no large research budget or staff, I have to be aware of change from a personal 4 foot square..

Fast track bills are most often about raw power, money, or doing something bad to someone.

Senate Bill 113 is an example of this thinking... Population figures seem to be off the mark for a House seat population.
