  • ‘Find a new place to live’

    “Find a new place to live.”
    I was disgusted when I read that phrase on social media Sunday afternoon.
    I was even more disgusted by the fact that it was one of my friends who used it.
    The person was referring to the immigrants who are now, thanks to our new president, being banned from entering the United States. Approximately 500,000 of them are legal permanent residents of this country who might be banned from re-entering the country if they left, or if they’re currently abroad.

  • General Assembly gets back to work Feb. 7

    By State Rep. Brandon Reed

    As the General Assembly takes an organizational break from the 2017 regular session, we continue to focus on the issues Kentuckians elected us to address. The first week was historic for many reasons. Republicans took control of the Kentucky House of Representatives for the first time since 1921, we saw a Republican Speaker of the House gavel in for the first time in nearly 100 years, and we passed several bills during the first week keeping good on our promise to bring each of us a better Kentucky.

  • Gerard is our MVP

    We all love to win.
    Winning contests, games… the lottery… winning is just fun.
    But, I’ve found that watching others win can be even more rewarding.
    Friday evening during the Kentucky Press Association’s Excellence in Kentucky Newspapers Awards Banquet in Louisville, I watched Enterprise Sports Correspondent Gerard Flanagan win his first KPA award.
    But, he didn’t just win - he won first place - in the sports column category.

  • When the unexpected happens

    When I accepted my job at The Lebanon Enterprise, I had no intention of leaving anytime soon. Emily and I were going to settle here. We were going to make a life here. We were going to ingrain ourselves within the community. Then, the unexpected happened.
    The word “unexpected” is an uncomfortable one for a lot of people. Naturally, we are creatures of habit. We like to get up about the same time each morning. We like our coffee a certain way. We have our routines, and to break from them is often a cause for some distress.

  • Historical, productive week in Frankfort

    By State Rep. Brandon Reed
     
    For the first time since 1921, Republicans took control of the Kentucky House of Representatives, making our first week back to Frankfort a historic one. We have been hard at work doing exactly what the voters of Kentucky sent us to Frankfort to accomplish. The result of this was an extremely productive first week of the 2017 session, in which priority bills to improve the economy, protect life, and make government more accountable passed through the General Assembly.
