Bailey joins us to talk about what lawmakers from Kentucky and Indiana have been saying about the budget impasse and what next week could bring. Rick Howlett reports on a snag in plans to re-open Kentucky Kingdom, and Indiana's defeated smoking bill.They'll also fill us in on a controversial proposal that would allow food stamps to be used to purchase fast food from Yum!
