1) A shout out to Kentuckians. You are in the bottom rungs when it comes to life expectancy, educational attainment and one out of every 5.5 of you lives in poverty. 250,000 our roughly 25% of your children live in poverty.
2) In Grant County, Kentucky, home of the "Ark Encounter" featuring dinosaurs 2X2 on Noah's life size reconstructed Ark which was funded by $80 M in government approved bonds, teacher salaries are 23% below the national average. 
3) Although tobacco now only accounts for 6% of Kentucky's agricultural revenue and coal represents only 4% of its economic production which is used chiefly to fuel power plants, These two products kill millions worldwide.
4) And to remedy some of your problems your illustrious Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul have lured the Russian Mob to town with a new $200 M Aluminum plant the power for which will no doubt come from coal. It is the way oligarchs exploit 3rd world countries.
5) Every State has its problems, but Kentucky could you keep your problems...dirty air, tobacco deaths & perhaps worst, the denial of health care to other Americans because of the actions of your 2-horrible Senators at home. Maybe you ought to take a long hard look at your vote?
