A little over a year after Google Fiber attempted to install its infrastructure in Louisville, the company is shutting down the service and leaving the city. “We’re not living up to the high standards we set for ourselves, or the standards we’ve demonstrated in other Fiber cities,” the Fiber team said in a blog post. Google will shut down Fiber in Louisville on April 15, but until then the company will foot customers’ bills.

Rep. Charles Booker on felon voting rights in Kentucky
Kentucky is still one of only TWO states to disenfranchise former felons from voting. This law unfairly harms the poorest Kentuckians and people of color, but Representative Charles Booker and others are attempting to change the status quo. Proposed House Bill 91 would "restructure the voting restrictions relating to felons and persons with mental disabilities."
This is awesome: in Kentucky and southern Indiana, universities are trying to meet every student’s basic needs by opening on-campus food pantries and launching food rescue programs to provide meals to students who may be struggling financially. Last week, students opened up a food pantry at University of Louisville! Across Louisville, more than 120,000 people are living with food insecurity, meaning they don’t have reliable access to healthy, affordable food.
