Last update: 11 hours ago

Medicaid Funding: Gov. Andy Beshear says Kentucky will use a $255M budget surplus to stop a planned 4% Medicaid reimbursement cut, plus fund senior meals and Michelle P. Waiver slots after providers were warned of an Aug. 1 reduction. Opioid Settlement Rollout: Barren County Fiscal Court is holding and planning distribution of federal opioid settlement funds via the state’s abatement commission, with applications opening in September and awards in November. Advanced Manufacturing: Anthro Energy broke ground on a $40M Louisville electrolyte manufacturing facility expected to create 110 jobs plus hundreds of construction roles. Food Safety: Publix expanded a GreenWise frozen berry recall after the FDA upgraded E. coli risk to its highest level, with affected products pulled and tied to hospitalizations. Tech & Health Policy: Trump picked Dr. Heidi Overton to lead the FDA, setting up Senate confirmation amid unfinished public-health priorities. Digital Safety Lawsuit: A whistleblower testified that Meta culture pushed growth over child safety as Kentucky joins a multistate trial seeking major changes and damages. Local Industry & Community: Morgan Smith Industries won national small-business recognition tied to state capitol woodwork work, while the Kentucky State Fair opens with major facility upgrades and new attractions.
