Clark Center for Kentucky History. “My fellow Kentuckians, I come before you... Read more

Former state Rep. Richard Henderson, a Mt. Sterling Democrat who lost his re-election bid for state House, says he will enter the Democratic primary for state treasurer as a “blue-collar candidate.” The 43-year-old Henderson says his eight years in the legislature and four years as mayor of Jeffersonville give him a leg up on the other contenders in the Democratic primary for treasurer, which grows by the day. Henderson has not yet filed his paperwork, but he said that’s just... Read more

Hogan of Louisa filed to enter the Republican primary. The 46-year-old Hogan filed for the statewide constitutional office on Monday morning.

from Devin Katayama
Louisville’s Wild and Woolly video is closing after 18 years of business, owner Todd Brashear announced Monday. We spoke with Brashear about his decision to close. You’ve been in business for almost 18 years—the day you close will be the anniversary. I imagine there’s mixed feelings about your decision, but you do say in some ways it was an easy one. Can you explain why? “It’s just been going down for several years for what I consider are probably obvious reasons—like between Netflix and Hulu and iTunes and torrenting, and I’m sure there are even more things to add to the list.

This may be the year the world’s developed nations work out a deal to cut greenhouse gas emissions to slow climate change. The meeting is scheduled for Paris in December, but before that, Pope Francis is expected to tell the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics that climate change is an issue relevant to their faith.

from Joseph Lord
The U.S. Supreme Court could decide this month whether it will consider same-sex marriage cases from Kentucky. Last year, Kentucky same-sex couples challenged the state’s constitutional same-sex marriage ban, asking that their marriages from other jurisdictions be recognized. U.S. District Judge John Heyburn sided with the couples. Later in 2014, Heyburn ruled in a separate case that the state must also allow same-sex marriages to be performed in Kentucky. He also issued a stay on the decisions pending appeal. But last fall the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld same-sex marriage bans in Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan and Tennessee. The cases have been appealed to [...]
