  • Legislators review positive changes around Kentucky

    Each year, the General Assembly’s work is split into two distinct areas: Its legislative session, which begins in January, and the interim, which starts in late spring and runs toward the end of the year.

  • Holiday movie moments are like visiting old friends

    Almost everyone has a favorite Christmas song, movie or story. While I enjoy the songs and stories of the Christmas season I want to take a nostalgic look at some of my all-time favorite movies to watch at this time of the year.

  • Governors serve as guideposts to state’s rich history

    This week, Steve Beshear is being formally sworn into his second term as governor, kicking off what is Kentucky’s 59th inauguration.
