Bill legalizing medicinal cannabis clears House floor By Jordan Hensley, LRC Frankfort, KY - Doctors may soon be permitted to prescribe medicinal cannabis to Kentuckians with certain medical conditions. House Bill 136 would legalize medicinal cannabis as a treatment option for people with cancer, chronic pain, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, chronic nausea, cyclical vomiting, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The bill's primary sponsor, Rep. Jason Nemes, R-Louisville, has carried similar legislation in the House before, but the measures failed to receive approval from both chambers. Nemes said he's worked with many people over the years to make changes to the legislation that more lawmakers could support.

Andy Beshear said a bipartisan group of state leaders are making progress on recommendations from Pew Charitable Trusts on how best to address the opioid crisis and help save lives. Last year, the Governor and his administration as well as the General Assembly participated in Pew's study and now they are working together to support new laws and programs that address the recommendations by eliminating barriers to addiction and expanding access to treatment. "The opioid epidemic is not a red or blue issue, it continues to shatter families regardless of their political party - and that is why it takes all of us working together to fight back," Gov. Beshear said. "We are working to help Kentuckians and communities in need. We remain committed to fighting this fight together."

HB121 would require comment period at school board meetings By Nancy Royden, LRC Frankfort, KY - A bill that would require civility and public comment periods during school board meetings advanced Thursday on the Senate floor. House Bill 121 calls on school boards to provide a public comment period of at least 15 minutes, or until comment ends, at each regular meeting. The comment period could be passed over if no one has made a request to speak. Sen. Max Wise, R-Campbellsville, presented the bill on the Senate floor and told lawmakers that parents were sometimes shut out of school board meetings in Kentucky and many other states. "I think it would be an understatement to say that for the past two years, there's probably not been more attendance, passion, debate, ... dialogue that's been expressed in local school board meetings in a long, long time."

Letter: Power Outage Ann Murphy writes: I had just got back from Kroger, and my electric kept flickering, on and off. It did this, several times, then went out, and stayed out. I stumbled around, trying to find my phone, to use the flashlight. I couldn't find it. My furbabies kept whining and didn't know what was going on. It seemed like forever, when the power finally came back on. It was off about 20 minutes. Had to go around setting the clocks, on my coffee maker, microwave and stove.Comments re: Power outage, snow storm and time change 2022-03-18 08:00:54 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
