Why local journalism is important: Kentucky governor put taxpayer $$ into an aluminum plant owned by one of his backers. Then the 2 KY senators, McConnell+Paul, were 2 of 3 votes needed to overturn sanctions on Deripaska, whose Rusal then invested $200mil in the plant.

Wow. If this is true, this is a terrifying, cynical and dangerous political quid pro quo. https://t.co/u1XVVplzUU
