IS IT FINALLY OVER IN FRANKFORT?
It appears that the special session of the Kentucky General Assembly has come to a close. Governor Beshear offers his thanks:
“I am thrilled, and Kentuckians should be as well, that the General Assembly joined with me in taking a giant step forward in addressing one of the biggest problems facing our people – prescription drug abuse. House Bill 1, passed in the special session today, gives us an aggressive, broad spectrum of policies needed to fight this problem on multiple fronts.Read the full statement here.
I’m also pleased that lawmakers passed a Transportation budget bill, needed for funding necessary projects around the state. I placed only two items in the special session call, and the legislature responded by passing both in the shortest possible time.
Even though the final version of the prescription drug bill doesn’t include every element we had hoped, it is an enormous bipartisan accomplishment, and it restores Kentucky as a leading state in innovative tactics in battling prescription drug abuse. The elements of the bill will also help prevent Kentucky from becoming a source state for prescription pills.

Northern Kentucky University's baseball team had just left for a trip to a game in Indiana when they noticed a semi-trailer's driver slumped over the wheel of his truck, which was inching along U.S. 27.----------------------------------------------------------------
Two of the team's coaches sprang into action.
"We jumped up on the step and I beat on the window for a second and no response, then figured a brake is a brake, so we stepped on the brake got it stopped, and our athletic trainer came over to assess what was going on," said Dizzy Peyton, pitching coach.
