    Tax a tax?
    I do not feel you answered my question in an earlier Just Ask. While dining in E’town recently, I noticed on my bill that Kentucky state taxes were assessed on top of the local restaurant tax. Is it legal to tax a tax?

    Kentucky soldiers buried overseas
    I am searching for as many of the stories of the 218,000 soldiers who are buried overseas as I can find. I started working on Oklahoma, my home state, but have decided to try and help find as many as I can due to the lack of time available.
    I am searching for information, pictures, letters and family stories about each soldier to be shared with the cemeteries.

  • So ... when’s the last time you saw a red ant?

    Joe Greenwell of Hodgenville submitted this question for the online poll.

    “How long has it been since you have seen a red ant?”

    The poll has a spot for comments, but most people do not utilize it.

    So, if you would like to respond, please email editor@laruecountyherald.com.

    Joe said it has been about two years since he saw a nest of red ants under a log at Bernheim Forest.

    So, how long has it been since you have seen a red ant? 

    Velvet ants don’t count. (They are wasps.)
