  • Senate gets to work during opening week of the General Assembly

    Usually, the first week is an organizational week during which the different parties elect their leadership. This year was different.

  • Letter: Small town honesty

    My family was visiting from Texas during Christmas. My grandson went to Walmart and lost his wallet, thinking it was gone for good with all his Christmas money in it. But, because of Lewis Browne and his honesty, my grandson has his wallet back. Lewis made calls until he was able to locate my grandson. Thank goodness there are still caring and honest people.

  • Low expectations

    Last week, I spoke with our local state legislators, State Rep. Terry Mills and State Sen. Jimmy Higdon.

    While both are in the majority party in their respective houses of the Kentucky legislature, neither has established the seniority or the political clout to assume a leadership position just yet, which is to say neither is likely to have tremendous influence on how things shake out at the Capitol between now and the end of March.

    I left Lebanon some 18 years ago and have recently moved back. While I was gone, one of my favorite memories of this town was the slower pace and general friendliness of its people. Now that I am living here again, I wonder what has happened to my hometown. I see rude, careless and stupid drivers everywhere I go. Let me cite several examples.
