Lawyer Sanders says Frankfort, we have a problem!!!!!

An article posted today on the Lexington Herald-Leader website reports that the number of Kentuckians living in poverty last year increased from 2006. U.S. Census Bureau figures show that 714,080 people were living in poverty in Kentucky in 2007, up from 693,479 in 2006. The Census Bureau also reports that Kentucky's median household income fell. It was $43,050, well below the national median household income of $50,740. Even more disheartening, the number of children younger than 18 living in poverty rose from 223,290 in 2006 to 234,959 in 2007.
