Marsha Walker recalls when Columbia was the weather news

Marsha Walker writes:
In January of 1963, I was at Eastern KY State College in Richmond. Our dorm mother came around one morning to announce we could wear pants to class. This was so exciting! Later that day a weather report said that the temperature in Columbia, KY had reached -30 degrees the night before, the lowest temperature in the nation. Getting to class and back was misery, and I had to do it three times with no gloves. That was a very memorable day. --Marsha Walker

By JIM

FRANKFORT, Ky. (Jan. 11, 2018) - Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, Rep. John Sims, and members of their medical marijuana task force on Thursday unveiled the legislative proposal that is the result of their discussions. Sims filed House Bill 166 Wednesday.

"What started as a whisper years ago is now a loud chorus. Kentuckians have declared 2018 as the year they expect action on medical marijuana from their legislators," said Grimes. "Now, with 29 states and the District of Columbia offering relief in the form of medical marijuana to their citizens, we must waste no more time. We've heard real, heart-wrenching stories from all over the Commonwealth about how access to cannabis can provide long-lasting and life-changing relief. The serious discussions this task force had have resulted in a solid piece of legislation that can change lives."
