Last week, the Kentucky legislature approved redistricting plans for the state House of Representatives and Senate for the second time in two years.
The new districts were signed into law Friday by Gov. Steve Beshear.

The General Assembly included an emergency provision so that the new districts took effect as soon as they were signed into law.

Ron Cook and his wife, Kathy, have lived on their St. Francis property since 1976. Both grew up in big cities, but they moved to Marion County because they wanted to raise their children in a rural setting.

That’s also why Cook, 64, doesn’t want the Bluegrass Pipeline coming through or near his property.
