- Why did Louisville's Metropolitan Sewer District spend thousands of dollars in 2024 buying ammunition for firearms?
The Courier Journal identified agencies as having Special Law Enforcement Officers by submitting an open records request to the Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet for any lists it had of Special Law Enforcement agencies in Jefferson County.
All three agencies declined requests from The Courier Journal to interview members of their armed law enforcement staff. To gain further insight into what police do at these agencies, The Courier Journal instead turned to numerous open records requests and court documents.

- Description
- This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features a pair of ACC starting quarterbacks in Louisville's Lincoln Kienholz and Syracuse's Steve Angeli.
Kienholz wants to get the word out now: There's nothing sneaky about his athleticism, and he isn't a stereotypical pocket passer.
Kienholz also explains how he's making an effort to find the balance between pulling the ball down to run and holding onto it to pass at the last moment. Lamar Jackson's program rushing totals may be safe, but UofL coach Jeff Brohm did say Kienholz is the most mobile quarterback he's ever had as a head coach, including his stops at Western Kentucky and Purdue.
Angeli, meanwhile, discusses his road back from injury and gives some insight into Kenny Minchey, his former teammate at Notre Dame who is now Kentucky's projected starting quarterback.
Hear about that and more on this week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show: https://www.courier-journal.com/story/sports/columni...

It’s the kind of home that drops you into a grandma-inspired fever dream complete with flowery pillows, lacey doilies, cherub-lined gold mirrors, Tiffany lamps and adorably miniature magnets on the coffee machine. Some flair is added for this trip to grandma’s crib, with exposed brick, a rose mural designed by a tattoo artist and a cross stitch hanging that leans more demanding than your typical “live, laugh, love.”
This one has become more of a motto at Bae’s, reading, “Eat a damn cookie.”
And after several moves since owner Abigail McGreevy started this beloved Louisville business as a 23-year-old out of her 750-square-foot apartment in 2019, she says this is Bae's forever home.
