A seat over to my left sat Lt. Col. Kent Keen with the Glasgow Police Department. He was waiting for one of his children to finish an appointment.

After researching and speaking with multiple people in both the medical and pharmaceutical fields, I am still undecided about whether or not to vaccinate my daughter. Nevertheless, in agreement with my obstetrician, I decided that it was in my and my unborn son’s best interest to get the injection. I began calling doctor’s offices, pharmacies, and health departments. All had similar responses, either there are no vaccines or they are unsure if and when they will be available. Despite asking to be placed on waiting lists, I was always told just to call back.

Not cut funding to the districts, but literally take money saved in their “rainy day” funds to overcome economic shortfalls like the one the state is presently experiencing.

Nowhere to be. No deadline to meet. No idea what would lay ahead other than adventure.

This courageous vote will help to ensure planned and proper development, protect property values, protect our farmers and protect our county from unregulated development.

It also was good to see Barren County Sheriff Chris Eaton and Glasgow Mayor Darrell Pickett come forward and change past stances to do what is best for the community.
