Hannah Pinski

Good evening, I'm Bill Bryant, and we welcome you to Comment on Kentucky, a look back at and some analysis of the week's news in the Commonwealth.

And the guests on our panel of working Kentucky journalists tonight are Hannah Pinski, political reporter for the Lexington Herald-Leader, McKenna Horsley, politics reporter for the Kentucky Lantern, And Morgan Watkins, health and environment reporter for the Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting.

Also tonight, how will Kentucky spend its money from a settlement with social media giant Meta? Let's begin with Senator Mitch McConnell's return to the Senate.

He came to the Capitol Monday for the first time since he fell back on June 14th.
