CITY COMMISSIONERS MAKE VISIT TO SOUTH COVINGTON'S CUL-DE-SACS
 |
| Commissioner Steve Casper and Bill Wells |
Following the unexpected and unpublicized paving of South Covington's signature cul-de-sac gardens, City Commissioners Steve Casper and Steve Frank visited with South Covington neighbors Thursday afternoon. The River City News confirmed earlier that the paving of the gardens was never discussed publicly, but rather during private meetings of the City's infrastructure committee and Sanitation District 1. As of now, the paving project has been halted, sparing any remaining gardens but work continues toward removal of the gardens on Bluffside and Vista View. Bill Wells, president of the South Covington Community Action Association says he will go door to door on the affected streets to gauge interest in replacing the gardens. Wells did concede that some neighbors to whom he had already spoken said to leave the gardens gone, while others are adamantly opposed to removing any more.

FORMER STATE TREASURER MAKES CASE FOR HEMP LEGISLATION
Supportive and opposing viewpoints on legalizing industrial hemp in Kentucky cross party lines. Democrat and former state treasurer Jonathan Miller joins Republican Commissioner of Agriculture James Comer in supporting hemp:
The subject of hemp, while discussed and debated for decades, unfortunately has been mostly seen as a cause célèbre of the political margins, either the “hippie” Far Left or the libertarian Far Right. But my recent experience with the issue reveals that public support for industrial hemp legalization — particularly within the agricultural community — is reaching a tipping point.Kentucky Forward/Jonathan Miller
And it’s time for the business community to shoulder-pad-up and push legalized industrial hemp across the goal line.

Kentucky Man Gets New Trial Over Furby Evidence
Seriously. A man convicted of killing his girlfriend will have another shot at freedom because he once took a shot at a toy - a very good shot - and that toy was just rule inadmissible as evidence.
