KSP: New information in 1988 Owen County murder By Tpr. Matt Sudduth Corinth, KY - Kentucky State Police Post 5 in Campbellsburg is asking for the public's assistance in identifying a cold case murder victim.

Free text service to help young Kentuckians quit vaping Participants should text KENTUCKY to 88709 to enroll in the program, which provides up to nine weeks of coaching. By Anya Armes Weber/Beth Fisher Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH), within the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS), encourages teens and young adults who want to quit vaping to get free help from This Is Quitting, a nationwide texting service.

This is Quitting was developed by Truth Initiative and is being promoted directly to Kentuckians through a collaboration with DPH. The service is intended for young people ages 13 to 24, and is tailored by age group to give appropriate recommendations about quitting vaping. It was developed with input from young people who have already attempted to or succeeded in quitting e-cigarettes.

SB2 would require photo ID to vote By Miranda Combs Frankfort, KY -. - Secretary of State Michael G. Adams, along with bill sponsor Senator Robby Mills, announced today the filing of Senate Bill 2, which will require, in most cases, a photo identification to vote. The photo IDs would be free for those eligible to vote--even if they don't register to vote. They could be picked up at circuit clerks offices. "I said during the campaign that if a photo ID law was proposed that did not provide free IDs, I would publicly oppose it. Fortunately, I don't have to do that." Adams went on, "It's scandalous that we have second-class citizens in our state who can't perform basic life functions because they don't have a Photo ID due to its cost." Right now, they cost $30.
