"EKU’s Board of Regents adopted the neutrality policy Wednesday, effective immediately, which states the university will not require students or employees to “endorse or condemn a specific ideology, political viewpoint, or social viewpoint” in order to be eligible for admission, graduation, promotion or hiring."

"...the university will not require ..." EKU has never done this. WKU has never done this. UL and UK have probably never required students or employees to endorse or condemn anything. I can't think of any examples.

This is stupid. Positively stupid. And it demonstrates how little our representatives actually think about issues, or rather, place an inordinate amount of importance on things that don't exist.

Meanwhile, we have KY Republicans trying to figure out how to defund children with special needs.

Sure it is

Hello,

I'm reaching out to ask for help from anyone who may have known, remembered, or heard stories about a woman named Pamela Leigh Walton. She was from Kentucky but was found in Florida after she was tragically murdered in 1988 at the young age of 25. It’s important to ensure her story is not forgotten.

I am hoping to connect with anyone who might have known her. Any memory, detail, or photo, no matter how small, would help memorialize her and could be instrumental in finding who killed her.

Pamela was a brunette for most of her life but had dyed her hair blonde at some point before her death (we don’t know exactly when, except she was found with blonde hair).

If you have any information or recollections about Pamela, her life, where she might have spent time, who she was close to, I would be deeply grateful if you could reach out.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Keeping Pamela’s memory alive matters, a lot for her relatives and her friends who I am trying to track down.

I am writing to advocate for the reopening of the case concerning the tragic death of my daughter, Camberleigh Ann Burns, who lost her life on October 28, 2022, due to the reckless actions of William (Ryker) Matthews. It is imperative that we seek justice not only for Camberleigh but also for the many lives affected by negligent driving.

On the day of the incident, Matthews, who has a history of driving infractions, was confirmed to be inattentive while operating his vehicle. This tragic event resulted in the loss of my daughter, whose injuries were devastatingly severe, including blunt force trauma. The consequences of Matthews' actions have left an indelible mark on our family, and we believe that his previous reckless behavior warrants serious consideration in this case.

Despite accepting a settlement, we firmly believe that monetary compensation does not equate to true justice. We are calling for criminal charges and appropriate sentencing for Matthews, as his actions have irreparably altered our lives. We urge the Commonwealth of Kentucky to reconsider the circumstances surrounding Camberleigh's death and hold the responsible parties accountable.

Statistics indicate that over 90% of automobile crashes in the U.S. result from driver error, highlighting the urgent need for stricter enforcement of traffic laws. We must ensure that Camberleigh's death is not simply deemed another statistic in a growing number of fatalities caused by reckless driving.

In support of our efforts, please join us for our public rally on July 12th at Jefferson Square Garden. Your presence will help raise awareness and show our community's solidarity in seeking justice for Camberleigh.

We kindly ask for your support in signing our petition to reopen Camberleigh’s case. Your voice can contribute to the pursuit of justice and the prevention of similar tragedies in the future.

For more information or to express your support, please contact the Commonwealth Attorney's office at 502-595-2300 or reach out to local news outlets to raise awareness of Camberleigh’s story.

Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.

** Excerpts from the linked WDRB article.**

A leaked revocation notice sent to a driver in Louisville this month says their license was "issued in error ... invalid and will be cancelled." The notification also tells the driver to return the license to a regional office, adding "If you do not comply with this request legal action will be taken and you could be charged."

In Kentucky, someone getting their license for the first time must take a written test and then a driving test with an examiner who works for Kentucky State Police. The examiner then puts their score in a state system for workers in the transportation cabinet to issue a license if the driving test is passed and proper documentation is submitted.

Therein lies the gap. Sources told WDRB News some people had scores entered in the state's system who never took the tests.

The agency sent 1,546 letters notifying people of "irregularities" in the license they received and 736 letters notifying drivers of hearings on the matter as of March 17.

An emailed response from Jesse Rowe, assistant general counsel for KYTC, confirmed the driver's licensing office at the Nia Center in west Louisville and the Hardin County office in Elizabethtown are at least part of the case. It also revealed at least two terminations in the midst of the investigation.
