Government

It will take some time to gather the information, but one of this year’s new laws has the potential to play a significant role when it comes to helping college students decide which career to pursue.

 Hodgenville Mayor Terry Cruse has called a special meeting of city council at 6 p.m. April 30 for the purpose of appointing three members to the Board of Ethics.

A city ordinance established a board of ethics in 1994 – however, the appointments were either never made – or the board became defunct over the years.

The county has a three-member board of ethics.

The meeting will be held at City Hall, 200 S. Lincoln Blvd.

 At the start of each legislative session, it is impossible to know which proposals will clear the hurdles it takes for a bill to become law.

Some are never heard in committee; others may make it through the House or Senate but get lost in the shuffle on the other side. Some may falter because of cost or a lack of time or public support.

 The state will auction dozens of high-quality collector’s items left over from a 2008 agriculture conference during Richie Farmer’s tenure as Kentucky agriculture commissioner.

The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources will sell 13 Remington rifles and 16 Case knives in an auction May 5 at KDFWR headquarters, 1 Sportsman’s Lane west of Frankfort. Proceeds from the auction will help fund an urban garden project that will be announced later this year.
