AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Defense & Iran War: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faced another round of bipartisan grilling in Washington as lawmakers pushed on the “end game” and the Pentagon’s updated price tag for the conflict—now about $29 billion—while he insisted U.S. munitions aren’t “depleted” and said production is being ramped up. Gas Prices & Policy: Trump renewed calls to pause the federal gas tax, but experts warn the relief could be small and Congress would have to approve it. Education: A new national analysis points to a “reading recession”—only a handful of states showed meaningful reading gains from 2022 to 2025. Local Government: In Cave City, Kentucky, residents packed council chambers as officials voted 4-1 for a one-year moratorium on data center decisions. Business & Community: Louisville’s Waterfront Park hosts the free “People of Hope” mobile museum May 14-16, and Ford officially launched Ford Energy to build stationary battery storage systems starting with deliveries in late 2027.
