This group's name is a question for the ages: "What's Next EKY"?

Details of their recent survey looking for ideas and concerns in the region.  We hear from two on the frontlines of coping with a rising level of domestic violence in Madison County: Richmond Detective Stuart Adams and Jennifer Lainhart, director of Hope's Wings Domestic Violence Shelter.

And, the economy is booming for some, yet so many in Kentucky find affordable home ownership out of the question. Why? Our question for Mary Shearer, director of Kentucky Habitat for Humanity and Rachel Childress, director of Habitat's Lexington affiliate.
