Comment: Good to remember best phase of Russell Bldg. On the Lerman's building: Oh, the dreams that have been dreamed around this building over the years! It's so good to see it in its best phase with retail sales on the ground floor, offices on the second and what looks like living spaces. My dream is that there will be money and time to restore it. That possibility is fading pretty fast as it deteriorates! --Linda WaggenerComments re photo 84001 Russell and Company Buliding a few years in 2019-06-07 15:01:25 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Gov. signs HB158, Foster Child Bill of Rights By Christina Dettman/Jordan Rowe Frankfort, KY - Governor Matt Bevin ceremonially signed House Bill 158 into law this week at the Kentucky State Capitol. The law, in part, lays out 16 specific rights for children in care, including adequate food, clothing, and shelter, as well as a safe, secure, and stable family. House Bill 158 also removes some barriers for potential adoptive families. Other provisions include background checks on child residential home staff as required under federal law and clarifying rules for the putative father registry. "We felt it was time to elevate these rights and codify them in state statute through an act of the Kentucky General Assembly so that these youth will have one statute to go to, so they know what their rights are each and every day," said Eric Clark, Commissioner of the Department for Community Based Services.

Commentary: A Little Hemp History This Hemp History Week By Ryan Quarles Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture Frankfort, KY - George Washington. Thomas Jefferson. Henry Clay. These great Americans grew hemp in the United States long before it became illegal over much of the 20th century. This year, Kentucky has around 1,000 licensed hemp growers and more than 130 licensed hemp processors who are joining the ranks of the great Americans who have grown hemp. This Hemp History Week, it's important to remember where our state has been and where we are headed with this crop that connects Kentucky's past to its future. In 2013, Kentucky restarted the conversation about the legalization of hemp nationwide. But the hemp renaissance really caught fire when Congress passed the 2014 Farm Bill allowing states a chance to bring this crop back from the dead through research pilot programs.
