Senate candidate Colonel Pamela Stevenson visits Owensboro for town hall event
OWENSBORO, Ky. (WEHT) — A democratic candidate for the U.S Senate stopped by Owensboro today to speak with constituents during a special town hall event. Colonel Pamela Stevenson currently serves as Kentucky's House Minority Leader and is running for Republican Mitch McConnell's seat. 'People are hungry to have someone that serves them…the energy was incredible,' Stevenson says. Hosted by Indivisible Owensboro, the town hall allowed constituents to ask elected officials about hot-button issues. Several elected officials were invited to attend, including Stevenson, Senator Rand Paul, Representative Brett Guthrie, and Senator Mitch McConnell. Stevenson was the only one who showed up. Over 20 people attended, including Donna Haynes. 'This started out to try to get some answers. We wanted it to be a peaceful discussion with our elected officials about what they did, why they did it, and how it affects us,' Haynes says. Constituents asked questions about several issues, including healthcare. One person asked, 'What are your thoughts about Trump's repeated statements to repeal or replace the Affordable Care Act?' 'As far as I can tell, if you are human, you need health care. They {the audience} want to make sure the elderly are taken care of, they want to have access to health care, and they want to make sure kids eat,' Stevenson says. Constituents also asked questions about Job Corps. The second largest one in the country is located in Morganfield. The U.S Department of Labor announced plans to eliminate Job Corps Centers nationwide last week due to proposed budget cuts by the Trump Administration. 'We have to do a better job building up rural counties. No matter where you live in Kentucky, you have to have access to health care and a good job to take care of your family. We have to make sure that that happens,' Stevenson says. A federal judge filed a motion for a temporary restraining order in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York today to block the closures today. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Chesapeake residents continue to share concerns about proposed data center in Great Bridge area of the city
CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) — Chesapeake residents against a proposed data center got a chance to hear directly from city officials about the project during a meeting Tuesday night. Planning Commission recommends against Great Bridge data center The city's quarterly happened at Oscar Smith Middle School, giving city leaders a chance to meet with constituents about any topic. The hot topic on the minds of many residents from the Great Bridge part of the city is the data center that could be built on 23 acres near Etheridge Manor Boulevard and Centerville Turnpike. 'Why do they want to put this 350,000-square-foot noise machine butting up right against property lines,' said Great Bridge resident Dennis Cashman, a Great Bridge resident, said. Many who live near the proposed location took the opportunity to come to the town meeting with hopes of getting clarity about the project. 'They're going to hear everybody's concerns, and they're certainly going to hear our concerns too, since we're all part of Chesapeake,' Cashman said. The facility would be Hampton Roads' first industrial scale data center. Some say that Virginia is the industrial center capital of the world. 'We do need data centers,' Cashman said. 'It's all about location.' Chesapeake's Planning Commission voted in May not to recommend the project. The proposal is now set to go before City Council at its June 17 meeting, when there will be a final say on whether it will move forward. 'Chesapeake has a lot of already zoned industrial sites,' Cashman said. 'Why don't we build it in an existing zoned industrial site?' The plans for this facility came about a year ago. Resident Lee Damore feels they have been left in the dark about the project because they just learned about it recently. 'We residents found out about it a month ago,' Damore said. 'I've been door knocking [to get the] petition signed [and] I'm still getting people giving me deer in the headlights.' Mayor Rick West told 10 On Your Side outside of the town meeting that the city has heard from a lot of residents about why they don't want this center. He encouraged them to keep sharing their thoughts ahead of the upcoming meeting. 'Talk about the facts, talk about your concern, and then listen and be open to the fact that you know Council is going to make a decision,' Deamore said. 'Chesapeake has a council that's always listening to its citizens, and that's who we are.' Residents who are opposed to the data center are having a community meeting about it at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Hickory Ruritan Club, at 2752 S. Battlefield Blvd. 10 On Your Side also reached out to the lead developer of the proposed data center for this story and did not receive a response. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
