Gov. Beshear raises early concerns over proposed electric vehicle policy rollbacks
SUMMARY: Governor Andy Beshear emphasizes Kentucky’s status as the leading state for electric vehicle (EV) battery production amid concerns about the incoming administration’s stance on EV policies. He warns that proposed cuts to federal EV incentives, such as tax credits, could jeopardize 10,000 jobs tied to the industry, many of which were supported by Trump voters seeking economic improvement. Political analyst Jonathan Miller notes that the electric vehicle market is culturally influenced and an inevitable growth area, regardless of government intervention. He highlights that demand for EVs may not currently align with concerns about market interventions and profitability.
Beshear, who has pitched Kentucky as the electric vehicle battery capital of the country, argued that cutting such policies could also risk some jobs in the state.

Staying hot with rain chances returning this week
SUMMARY: The weather remains hot, with temperatures reaching the lower 90s and some isolated showers recently developing. Better rain chances return midweek, especially Wednesday, which is expected to bring scattered thunderstorms, heavy downpours, and gusty winds due to a trough moving in from the northwest. Tuesday may see a stray shower as moisture increases, but mostly dry conditions will last through early week. After Wednesday and Thursday showers, heat will return, with temperatures in the lower 90s by the weekend. The Kentucky State Fair is forecasted to be hot and mostly dry, but locals are advised to stay hydrated amid the persistent heat and humidity.

What could a street art program look like in Lexington?
SUMMARY: On August 12th, Principal Planner Hannah Crepps will present plans for a new street art program in Lexington at the Environmental Quality and Public Works Committee meeting. The program aims to formalize street art projects, which many U.S. cities use to calm traffic and reduce crashes by incorporating painted crosswalks and road designs. Lexington will draft guidelines including funding sources, community decision-making, and traffic safety compliance. A pilot chalk art project was tested in May 2025 on Shropshire Avenue. Residents can engage with the program by contacting Crepps and watching the live meeting online or in person.
