SUMMARY: Baxter’s 942 bar, closed for five months after its liquor license was not renewed, could soon reopen following a judge’s recommendation to restore the license. The closure followed community complaints about noise and violence, including shootings near the bar, although not on its property. The judge ruled that denying the license based on third-party criminal activity was unreasonable. Despite the ruling, local neighbors, especially those at a nearby dog park, oppose the bar’s reopening. Louisville Metro ABC has 15 days to file for an exception, with the final decision resting with a three-judge panel.

SUMMARY: Governor Andy Beshear provided an update on Kentucky’s flood recovery, with the death toll rising to six. Over 70 counties have declared states of emergency, and flooding continues downstream. Beshear expressed concern that disaster funding may run out soon, but no special session is planned yet. FEMA assistance will be requested on Friday, initially covering 10-12 counties. Affected families could receive up to $42,000 in aid, with $750 in initial help. The governor urged residents to document all damage carefully to aid their applications. Recovery centers’ locations are being discussed with FEMA as the disaster response continues.

Gov. Andy Beshear said the state is not at a point to require a special session to respond to natural disasters “yet.”
