Thayer was chairing a committee meeting and Denton was seated before the panel, preparing to explain her bill to change the way police departments view officers' merit board test scores. Denton's husband is Louisville Metro police officer Barry Denton.

Chairman Thayer: Senator Denton, I assume Barry is happy with this bill.
Sen. Denton: Yes, and if Barry's happy, Julie's happy.
Thayer: That'll be your Valentine's Day present to him.
Denton: That and a few other things. (laughter)
Thayer: That's a little too much information.
