I learned during the "short" session of 2013 that it takes a fair amount of effort to move legislation through the General Assembly. Needless to say, I couldn't carry as much legislation as I wanted and still have time enough to advocate for each one of them.
...as the session rolls on and the volume of bills increases, I wanted to make following your Senator’s votes as easy as possible. With that in mind, I have a running post of my voting record
Will we ever get a break from this winter weather? February opened with snow and ice across most of Kentucky. I hope you and yours are safe. As highway crews are out working all hours of the night, and utility workers are restoring power to the many areas that lost it, I am reminded of and appreciate the people that are out working in these tough and hazardous conditions to keep us safe and warm. I encourage you to remember them in your prayers.
As legislators continued work in Frankfort this week, we voted on bills that dealt with issues ranging fromeducation to communications infrastructure. We also honored athletic achievements of Kentucky students, including the success of the boys and girls UHA Basketball teams in their Tournament this week, and we heard from citizens during rallies in the capitol.
