On Kentucky Tonight, we sometimes address complicated subjects, raising questions rather than providing answers. On some Monday nights, I leave my desk wondering whether we have dealt with the issue well enough so that Kentuckians can make intelligent decisions. New education issues cropped up this year—whether or not the University of Pikeville, a private institution, should be supported by state higher education dollars, thus becoming a public university; and the controversial subject of charter schools.
