Federal shutdown brings chaos to legal fight over KY Medicaid By John Cheves, Lexington Herald-Leader Attorneys for the federal government have asked to postpone a lawsuit that could decide the fate of Kentucky's $9.7 billion-a-year Medicaid program and the tougher eligibility rules that Gov. Matt Bevin seeks to impose, because the partial government shutdown cut off their salaries nearly a month ago. However, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg in Washington indicated Thursday that he's inclined to only grant one-week delays in briefing deadlines in the case, to give the unpaid lawyers some breathing room, unless the state of Kentucky is willing to postpone changes to Medicaid that are scheduled to begin April 1. Postponing the changes is not an option, state officials say. Read more at kentucky.com 2019-01-22 18:57:17 | Comments | Printable version

CU discussion: The conservative case against capital punishment Hannah Cox, the National Manager of Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty, will be the main speaker during a QEP Forum at Campbellsville University. The forum will take place from 6pmET to 7:30pmET on Monday, January 28th in the Badgett Academic Support Center Banquet Hall, 110 University Dr., Campbellsville, KY. Ms. Cox will be discussing the conservative case against capital punishment. "I am one of an increasing number of conservative Christians who have changed our views on the death penalty because we want to be consistent in our ethic of life - that life is precious from its beginning to its natural end," Cox said. "We also have come to realize that the lives of many innocent people have been put at risk by the death penalty." Since 1973, more than 160 people have been freed from death rows in America due to their wrongful convictions, including one person sentenced to death in Kentucky. Cox will also share her views on why the death penalty violates the conservative principles of limited government and fiscal responsibility. 2019-01-22 14:29:12 | Comments | Printable version
