Bam Carney update - please continue prayers Update on Adair and Taylor Representative John Bam Carney from his brother, Mark: Bam has now been in the hospital for five months and three days. He did get moved from Norton’s to Kindred Jewish last week. He has not been as content there. Has had lots of anxious times and has Pulled his iv and some of the other drains out. We are hoping our visits will help. Yes, I said visits! Starting tomorrow he is allowed one visitor a day and that visitor can only stay for one hour. That doesn’t sound like much but we will take it. We certainly hope the visits help but we also know his greatest help comes from God!

OP-ED: Commitment to be Good Teammates By Kentucky Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman As part of Team Kentucky, Andy Beshear and I made a commitment to be good teammates to our fellow Kentuckians, to end the divisive political rhetoric and verbal attacks by demonstrating the compassion, empathy and leadership we believe they deserve. I wanted to govern with Andy because I believed he would deliver on the promise of unity, people over politics and civil discourse during his time as governor. Six months into our first term (half of which we have spent fighting a global health pandemic) he has made good on that promise repeatedly. Even when baited toward divisiveness, he has fulfilled his promise to stay above the fray. That takes courage, conviction and leadership. The vast majority of Kentuckians, whether they voted for us or not, appreciate that about him, too. I know that to be true because more people than I can count have told me just that.

Responding to Billy Joe Fudge's question about the flame thrower story. 2020-05-27 07:50:02 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
