Tebbs Bend bridge to be moved

 

The Tebbs Bend bridge will be moved and preserved, likely sometime next year.

Funding for a new bridge isn't firm yet, however, and it isn't known who will move the bridge.

At last Tuesday's regular Taylor County Fiscal Court meeting, Taylor County Judge/Executive Eddie Rogers announced the Kentucky Heritage Land Conservation has given the county permission to move the bridge to the nearby Tebbs Bend-Green River Nature Area.

County school employees to get 1-percent raise

The Taylor County Board of Education approved a 1-percent raise for certified and classified employees in the 2013-2014 fiscal year at its regular meeting last Tuesday. But according to Shannon H. Cox, representing the Taylor County Education Association, 1 percent is not enough.

A letter from the association, signed by Cox, was recently given to Board members. The letter pra-ised Superintendent Roger Cook’s vision and asked for a 5-percent raise for teachers who have worked hard to carry out that vision.

In Memory: 25 Years Later

It's been 25 years, but they haven't lost hope that one day his killer will be put in handcuffs.

And it's that hope that keeps them coming back to Campbellsville each year to remember him.

Those passing by Ransdell Chapel on the Campbellsville University campus last Wednesday might have seen a swarm of state and local law enforcement vehicles. But they weren't there to investigate a crime.

The officers were there to remember one of their own, an officer who was killed in the line of duty more than two decades ago.

Governor considering special legislative session

Lawmakers might head back to the office a bit sooner than scheduled.

Rumor has circulated that Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear might call state lawmakers to a special legislative session for approving a redistricting plan.

Senate and representative district boundaries must be redrawn after each Census. After the 2010 Census, a plan was approved but later ruled unconstitutional.

Taylor County's State Rep. John "Bam" Carney, R-Campbellsville, said he won't support such a special session because of the cost.

Campbell was charged with two counts of promoting the sale of a minor who was younger than 18.
