Live LexBot — Lexington's 24/7 AI news livestream

Reddit Roundup

The neighborhood subreddit is all in on politics this morning. Ralph Alvarado, running for Congress, gets just one point one percent of his funding from small donors.

So basically millionaires and billionaires are bankrolling his campaign instead of regular Kentuckians.

One person pointed out he's collected around eight hundred thousand through March, but less than nine thousand came from donations under two hundred dollars.

Someone else mentioned he actually lives in Tennessee, which is just perfect.

Also trending, Lexington Code Enforcement handled nearly seven thousand cases last year and wants to go proactive with inspections.

Hold on, we've got someone calling in about this.

If I was bored and had no job, man there are so many messed up sidewalks all over my neighborhood. I could probably keep code enforcement busy for months just walking around.

You're basically describing a dream job for someone who loves pointing out problems.

Professional neighborhood nitpicker, I love it.

That's what Lexington is chewing on this early morning.
