Welcome to EO Radio Show - Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. Episode 78 is the 11th in a series of Quick Tip episodes focusing on the details of state registration of nonprofit corporations. With Joe Hilliard's help today, we examine the basic state filing requirements for nonprofit corporations operating in Kentucky and Tennessee. Previous episodes addressed filing in Delaware and California, which are the most frequently used by our clients, most of whom have a connection with California. Other episodes have focused on the state filings in Nevada and Arizona, Washington State and Oregon, Alaska and Hawaii, New York and New Jersey, Massachusetts and Connecticut, Maine and Vermont, Rhode Island and New Hampshire, Florida and Louisiana, and most recently North Carolina and South Carolina. You can find all the prior episodes on our website or the Farella YouTube Channel, where there is a playlist just for state filing requirements. In future episodes, we'll work our way through the rest of the states.

A music manager of the famous Louisville rapper EST G, or George Stone, has been arrested by the FBI, WAVE 3 News Troubleshooters have learned.Eric Mosley was taken into custody Thursday afternoon. He is charged with possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person after the FBI said he was found with guns and drugs.If convicted, he faces a minimum of 10 years in prison and a maximum penalty of life in prison.According to the FBI, their Safe Streets Task Force caught up with Mosley at a Louisville hotel and served a warrant. They said Mosley had a kilogram of cocaine, $100,000 cash, an AK-47-style pistol and a stolen handgun.During a WAVE 3 News Troubleshooters investigation, it was discovered that Mosley was also one of the people behind a $300,000 full-cash bond for the person accused of killing 3-year-old Trinity Randolph and her father, Brandon Waddles, in August 2020.Kevon Lawless, 24 is now facing the death penalty in relation to their deaths. Once the bond was paid, Lawless was released on home incarceration. He would later be brought back into jail for a separate parole violation.Lawless' release sparked outrage among the community and the families of the victims. Randolph's family discovered Lawless was out of jail through social media videos Lawless posted, bragging about being out. The Randolph family said the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections had incorrectly insisted Lawless was still in custody days after his release.WAVE 3 News obtained a copy of the checks that added up to the $300,000 for Lawless' bond. It was discovered $135,000 was paid for Mosley and Stone's business called Everybody Shine Together, LLC.According to the Kentucky Secretary of State, both Stone and Mosley are members of the LLC, which abbreviated is EST, part of Stone's stage name.Stone has worked with music big-hitters like Jay-Z and Yo Gotti. Gotti filmed a music video with Stone in Louisville shortly after signing him.Stone was named Hip-Hop Rookie of the Month in July by Billboard. He's appeared on national shows such as Jimmy Kimmel and performed on other nationally syndicated stages.In a song released by Stone on July 21, 2021 called Sky Dweller, he raps about bailing Lawless, or Lil' Kada, out of jail. Lawless was originally given a $1 million bond at his arraignment.“They want one mil' for Lil' Kada, know I'm comin' to get you, baby,” Stone raps. “Know my heart might get me killed, but it got me here, so risks, I'm takin'”Lawless has pleaded not guilty to the killings.Mosley made his first appearance in federal court on Friday afternoon.The FBI said Mosley's arrest was fruit from Project Safe Neighborhoods or PSN, which aims to focus on the most violent offenders. PSN is an effort by the Department of Justice to reduce violent crime. The Safe Streets Task Force, which investigated the case, includes FBI special agents and investigators from the Louisville Metro Police Department, Nelson County Sheriff's Office, Bullitt County Sheriff's Office, and Homeland Security investigations.Copyright 2021 WAVE 3 News.

There's been a veritable landslide of flawed policies and decisions coming out of the Biden administration since January and one wonders if there's an end in sight.

But some of the craziest ideas to come out have centered around our elections. Today Rebecca meets with Kentucky Secretary of State Michael G. Adams to discuss ways he has successfully reformed voting law in Kentucky, making it easier to vote and harder to cheat the system. SOS Adams spills the secret to getting bi-partisan support on Election Reform. With any luck, more states across the country will follow this man's lead!

Kentucky's primary election is Tuesday, June 23rd, and the coronavirus pandemic is changing the way most Kentuckians cast their ballots.

Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams outlines changes to state voting procedures that have been implemented in response to COVID 19.

There's no playbook for how to conduct elections during a global pandemic. A few weeks ago, Wisconsin held their primary like normal. In Kentucky, we've already delayed ours until June, and we're still trying to figure out whether in-person voting will be safe by then.  Some states already have absentee voting available on request, while some (like Kentucky) require the voter to have a valid reason why they can't go to the polls on Election Day. And some lawmakers worry that allowing mail-in voting for all could lead to fraud. On today's show, we talked about election plans in Kentucky and surrounding states, and the challenges facing those who are in charge of making the decisions. Sydney Boles with the Ohio Valley Resource joined us at the top of the hour; she's been looking into election plans in Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky. Later in the hour, we checked in with Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams, who said it's unlikely Kentucky will be able to hold a traditional election in June. Adams said it takes 16,000 poll workers to make an election happen, and most of them are over age 65, so particularly vulnerable to complications from coronavirus. He told us he and Governor Beshear are negotiating an agreement for what Kentucky's primary election will look like. To wrap up the show, we talked to Kentucky Public Radio's statehouse reporter Ryland Barton about the General Assembly session that came to a close on Wednesday.In Conversation Donate to support this and future seasons of In Conversation.

Friday was the deadline for candidates to file with the Kentucky Secretary of State’s office for the May Primaries and as you might expect there was a flurry of activity on that last day, not to mention a few surprises. On this week’s Capitol Chat Laura Cullen Glasscock, editor and publisher of the Frankfort-based Kentucky Gazette talks matchups with WUKY's Alan Lytle.

It's Friday, so that means it's panel time.Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is planning to join the Democratic presidential primary campaign. The decision is a shift in direction for Bloomberg, who siad in March that he wouldn't be running. Is there a path here for Bloomberg? Is this a public rebuke of the performance so far of former US Vice President Joe Biden, who has attempted to build a coalition of the same moderate Democrats that Bloomberg would court? Will this inflame the populist wing of the party? Where does he pull votes from? "House Republicans' latest plan to shield President Trump from impeachment is to focus on at least three deputies — US Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, Trump's lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani, and possibly acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney — who they say could have acted on their own to influence Ukraine policy," the Washington Post reported Thursday. Is this a plausible defense?The trial of Roger Stone, longtime Republican political strategist, friend of US President Donald Trump and former adviser to the Trump campaign, began Tuesday. He stands accused of lying to Congress about acting as a liaison between the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks, as well as witness tampering and obstruction of justice. What is this really all about? He's accused of NOT having any connection to WikiLeaks and inflating his importance to a Congressional panel. He is accused of NOT knowing a thing while pretending he was in touch with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. "Kentucky's Senate President Robert Stivers suggested Tuesday night that the close race between Gov. Matt Bevin and Democratic challenger Andy Beshear could ultimately be decided by the state's Republican-controlled legislature, sparking warnings that the GOP could attempt to 'steal' the election," Common Dreams reported Wednesday. The article notes: "According to the New York Times, Beshear is leading Bevin by more than 5,000 votes with 100 percent of the precincts reporting. Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, a Democrat, called the race for Beshear Tuesday night." Furthermore, it adds: "Bevin, a fervent backer of President Donald Trump, told his supporters Tuesday night that he has no plans to concede the election. The Republican governor claimed without evidence that there were 'more than a few irregularities' in the race. ... The local Courier Journal reported that Bevin has 30 days under state law to 'formally contest the outcome once it is certified by the State Board of Elections.'" In justifying his complaints, Common Dreams said that "Stivers pointed to Section 90 of the Kentucky state Constitution, which says: 'Contested elections for Governor and Lieutenant Governor shall be determined by both Houses of the General Assembly, according to such regulations as may be established by law.'"We've got all these topics and more!!!GUESTS:Caleb Maupin — Journalist and political analyst who focuses his coverage on US foreign policy and the global system of monopoly capitalism and imperialism.

In a leaked video released Tuesday, ABC News anchor Amy Robach, sitting at her desk on-set but apparently speaking to colleagues off-air, expressed frustration that the network did not air her 2015 interview with Virginia Giuffre, who said she was coerced into a sexual relationship with wealthy pedophile Jeffrey Epstein when she was a teenager. Now we find out that CBS News has fired a female staffer believed to have had access to the tape when she worked at ABC, and who was reportedly responsible for the leak. It appears to me that many in mainstream, corporate media present themselves as defenders of whistleblowers. But not only do they either stay silent or actively vilify people such as Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning and John Kiriakou — real whistleblowers, not CIA stooges — but they also actively retaliate against media whistleblowers. Do whistleblowers have a right to remain anonymous?"President Donald Trump plans to use Atlanta as a launching pad for his new African American coalition with a Friday rally at the Georgia World Congress Center," the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Monday. "The president will kick off the Black Voices for Trump Coalition initiative at 3 p.m. Friday at the downtown Atlanta convention center after a high-dollar fundraiser in Buckhead to support US Sen. David Perdue." Is this a laudable effort or pandering to some in the African American community?"Kentucky's Senate President Robert Stivers suggested Tuesday night that the close race between Gov. Matt Bevin and Democratic challenger Andy Beshear could ultimately be decided by the state's Republican-controlled legislature, sparking warnings that the GOP could attempt to 'steal' the election," Common Dreams reported Wednesday. The article notes: "According to the New York Times, Beshear is leading Bevin by more than 5,000 votes with 100 percent of the precincts reporting. Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, a Democrat, called the race for Beshear Tuesday night." Furthermore, it adds: "Bevin, a fervent backer of President Donald Trump, told his supporters Tuesday night that he has no plans to concede the election. The Republican governor claimed without evidence that there were 'more than a few irregularities' in the race. ... The local Courier Journal reported that Bevin has 30 days under state law to 'formally contest the outcome once it is certified by the State Board of Elections.'" In justifying his complaints, Common Dreams said that "Stivers pointed to Section 90 of the Kentucky state Constitution, which says: 'Contested elections for Governor and Lieutenant Governor shall be determined by both Houses of the General Assembly, according to such regulations as may be established by law.'""An uprising in Iraq is the broadest in decades. It's posing an alarming threat to Baghdad and Tehran," reads the headline of a Washington Post article published Thursday. The piece notes: "From Baghdad to the Shiite Muslim shrine city of Karbala and farther south, Iraqis are pushing for a revolution. They fill central squares to sing and dance from daybreak, and face down riot police when night falls."GUESTS: Garland Nixon — Co-host of Fault Lines on Sputnik News Radio.

It pains us to do this, we started this show to give people the absolute truth. Sometimes reporting the truth hurts, because you have to broadcast facts that make your own party look bad. ******* It is our understanding that it would not be possible to have a write in campaign at this point and any votes written in on November 8th would be discarded. Kentucky Green Party Steering Committee ******* I have been certified by Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes as an official write-in candidate in the race for the Kentucky House in the 4th Representative District.  Unfortunately I have received zero support from my party because whoever is in charge is a complete incompetent who doesn't even know the election laws in his own state. My campaign continues on, even without my party's support, and hopefully after the election we can get some competent leadership in the Kentucky Green Party. Also, complete fools in California have certified Bernie as a write-in candidate. They have succeeded in convincing thousands of gullible voters to write in Bernie for President, taking hundreds of thousands of votes away from Jill Stein, putting a huge dent in the chance of getting 5% of the vote. This could cost the Green Party millions of dollars in matching funds, not to mention possibly allowing Trump to win California and the election. GreenPartyRadio.com
