Hillbilly Crime Investigates
Tonight’s Hillbilly Crime episode digs into the Mountain Money Train — the flow of AMLER grant dollars across Eastern Kentucky and the long shadow they cast over our communities. We break down how these grants are awarded, who benefits, and why so many families feel left behind while the same hands keep catching the money. I walk through the history of AMLER funding, the promises made to coal counties, and the reality we’re living with today. We look at the projects that moved forward, the ones that stalled out, and the questions nobody in power seems eager to answer. If you’re trying to understand where the money went, who controlled it, and how these decisions shape our region’s future, this episode lays it out plain. Appalachian truth, Appalachian voice, Appalachian receipts.
