AEG, which owns the Staples Center, manages the Sprint Center and has (had?) the fancy Grease Bucket Arena deal is for sale. Louisvillians are 100% not surprised. [KC Star & LA Times]

What if Louisville moved its Ohio River dam upriver near the Second Street bridge, creating a scenic waterfall that also exposed more of the Falls of the Ohio — the series of rocky rapids that helped give birth to the city? [C-J/AKN]

We’re still wondering how long Louisville is going to pretend that Jerry Abramson and now Greg Fischer are doing the right thing with Cordish Cos. Because we keep throwing hundreds of millions of dollars at them to do absolutely nothing. Literally nothing. [WDRB]

A judge on Tuesday postponed, for the third time, a trial that centers on the extent of the coal industry’s political influence in Gov. Steve Beshear’s administration. [H-L]

Don’t forget that the Commonwealth of Kentucky still owes Ed Hart more than $4 million. And nearly every claim Steve Beshear has made about Kentucky Kingdom, he’s been easily able to refute. [WAVE3]

This is maybe not so great for an area company that a large portion of the metro depends upon? Or maybe it’s all just hype. [Click the Clicky]

Clarksville police have made a major marijuana bust. The owner of the home now behind bars and neighbors are shocked at what was happening on their street. [WHAS11]

A Shawnee High School student brought a loaded handgun to school Tuesday morning, police and school officials said. [C-J/AKN]

A petition drive to reinstate a Louisville Boy Scout leader who said he was forced to resign because he is gay has gathered more than 2,000 signatures. [H-L]

A newly-formed political action committee is hoping to influence school board races across the commonwealth, embarking on territory usually dominated by teachers unions. [WFPL]

The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission approved an agreement for Ellis Park owner Ron Geary to sell 30 percent of the Henderson track to a partnership led by the owners of Saratoga Casino and Raceway in New York. [Business First]
