Stivers: How much is spent lobbying KY's executive branch? By Jack Brammer, Lexington Herald-Leader Kentucky Senate President Robert Stivers said he was "blown away" by revelations in two recent high-profiled public corruptions cases that revealed lax oversight of those who lobby the state's executive branch of government. "What a lot of people don't know is that individuals lobby the executive branch just as they lobby the legislative branch," said Stivers in a floor speech during the first week of this year's law-making session. "But the requirements for reporting your fees as you lobby the executive branch are virtually non-existent and nowhere as stringent as that we require for lobbying us." Stivers, R-Manchester, has filed a bill to give the public more information about lobbyists of the state's executive branch. Read more at kentucky.com.

Nelson Co. tourists face federal fine for abusing Tybee turtles By Mandy Matney, Lexington Herald-Leader Last summer, tourists from Kentucky sparked Internet outrage when they admittedly took six baby sea turtles from a Tybee Island beach and placed the threatened animals in a hotel trash can.
