ā¢ Good Question: Why didn't Lexington ask for gas tax extension? (wkyt.com) ā Nicholasville is among several Kentucky cities that chose not to request an extension of the stateās temporary gas tax cut, a move tied to protecting funding for road projects. Lexington officials say extending the cut would likely force the state to pull money from already-approved road work instead of reserves. The governorās latest extension of the reduced tax runs through June 30. Ā Ā Ā
ā¢ Up First briefing: U.S.-Iran air strikes; Inflation rates; World Cup : NPR (npr.org) ā A Nicholasville mother of two describes how rising gas, daycare, and housing costs are forcing her family to cut back, even though both parents work full time. Her story anchors a broader NPR look at inflation, war-driven energy prices, and stubbornly high mortgage rates. The episode also covers escalating U.S.-Iran airstrikes and World Cup tensions, but keeps returning to everyday household strain. Ā Ā Ā
