The right to bear umbrellas After gun rallies, Beshear says he'll look into relaxing Capitol security further By Daniel Desrochers, Lexington Herald-Leader Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said Thursday his administration is evaluating rules about what people can and cannot bring into the Capitol, but that any changes the administration makes won't restrict the ability to bring guns into the Capitol.

Max Wise's Legislative Update - February 7, 2020 Personal political commentary/opinions of the writer By State Senator Max Wise, (R-Campbellsville) 16th District: Adair, Clinton, Cumberland, McCreary, Russell, Taylor, and Wayne Counties It was a busy but productive fifth week of the 2020 Regular Session as we passed a wide array of bills through the Senate and continued biennial budget discussions.

Sports betting bill encouraged by many in KY leadership Currently, sports betting is legal in Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee, West Virginia, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Passing this legislation would not only ensure the state receives some of that revenue, but also ensures that it's a regulated industry and not operating on the black market. Frankfort, KY - With support from educators, top business leaders, law enforcement and retirees, Gov. Andy Beshear on Thursday called on lawmakers to pass sports betting legislation to stop Kentucky dollars from flowing to neighboring states and use those funds for needs in Kentucky. "We have a real urgency in Kentucky. We need new revenue to support the needs of our communities, our state and especially our children who deserve the best education," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "We have an urgency to keep millions of Kentucky dollars from crossing our rivers and going to support the education and pension systems in our neighboring states. We are with business, education and pension leaders - Republicans and Democrats - working together on the same team. We all agree that passing sports betting is the right thing to do and we are working together to help move the state forward."
