Travis McKinzie, 27, waived a preliminary hearing on Thursday in McCracken District Court, sending charges of fi rst-degree as- sault and domestic violence to circuit court. Commonwealth Attorney Dan Boaz said a grand jury is set to hear the case on Aug. 30. If he is indicted, McKinzie will return for a pre-trial hearing on Sept. 6. Kentucky State Police arrested McKinzie early July 24 at Baptist Health Paducah in connection with an infant who reportedly sus- tained serious physical injuries. The child was fl own to Kosair Children’s Hospital in Louis- ville for treatment at the time, and McKinzie was taken to McCracken County Regional Jail, where he remains on $50,000 bond.

    Beshear Set to Romp, Helping Dems Down-Ballot

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 30, 2011 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Beshear set to romp, helping Dems down-ballot Raleigh, N.C. – Steve Beshear is tied with Tennessee’s Bill Haslam for the fourth most popular governor on which PPP has polled, and he is headed for a re-election romp this fall. Beshear leads Republican David Williams and independent Gatewood Galbraith by a 55-28-10 margin. The last time PPP polled the race was just before last fall’s election, and then, Beshear was up only 44-35 on Williams, with Galbraith not polled. Beshear has a 57-30 approval margin, up from 48-34 last October. The differences over the last ten months are many. For one, Republican turnout seems a little depressed compared to last fall, which is to be expected after a strong showing by conservatives in the midterm. But Beshear is also up from 66% to 78% of Democrats, who make up 55% of the electorate, and from 15% to 19% of the GOP, with Williams down a corresponding amount. Williams has also declined from 16% to 8% with Democrats, and remains with only a quarter of independents. A three-way race for State Treasurer is also helping incumbent Democrat Todd Hollenbach to a strong lead, with 43% to Republican K.C. Crosbie’s 28% and Libertarian Ken Moellman’s 16%. Democratic Attorney General Jack Conway has a decent 47-36 lead in his bid for another term over Republican Todd P’Pool.

    Toyota Drivers Sweep Weekend Races

    Toyota Drivers Sweep Weekend Races September 23, 2019 PLANO, Texas (September 23, 2019) – Toyota drivers swept the NASCAR races over the weekend with Martin Truex Jr. winning Saturday night’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) race and Christopher Bell scoring a win in the NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) event on Friday. Ty Gibbs also earned his first career victory in NASCAR K&N Pro Series East action. NASCAR Camry drivers led 311 laps (of 400) in Saturday night’s Cup Series race at Richmond Raceway with Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) drivers finishing in the top-three spots for the third time this season. Truex passed teammate Kyle Busch with 25 laps remaining in the race to earn back-to-back wins for the first time in his career and the sixth victory of the season. “I’m speechless,” said Truex, following his victory. “Just an unbelievable job by all my guys. Had a heck of a race with Kyle (Busch) and Denny (Hamlin) all night long really, and we just kept plugging away at it as we always do. We just keep digging and we never quit. Next thing you know, catching the 18 (Kyle Busch) for the lead, I’m like, ‘cool, all right, here we go.’ To sweep Richmond finally is pretty awesome.” The win marked a series-best 16th victory at Richmond Raceway for Joe Gibbs Racing and its drivers have earned four straight triumphs at the three-quarter mile Virginia short track. Busch led a race-high 202 laps, and with his second-place finish, he joins Truex in advancing to the Round of 12 in the MENCS Playoffs.

The Bowling Green Daily News broke the story that lack of oversight, changed contracts and misuse of funds forced officials to seek new bonds and a new sub developer to cover a shortfall of more than $4.5 million to complete at mixed-use wrap around the downtown parking garage. The Daily News filed countless open-record requests, hired attorneys to interpret convoluted contracts, poured over thousands of pages of documents to uncover misuse of funds, fraud, and a glaring lack of transparency that might in the end leave taxpayers holding the bag. Breaking the story and then editorializing about the lack of transparency and misuse of funds, ultimately got the Kentucky State Auditor Andy Beshear involved in the form of an audit.

    History of the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance

    HISTORY OF THE KENTUCKY REGISTRY OF ELECTION FINANCE KENTUCKY REGISTRY OF ELECTION FINANCE 140 WALNUT STREET FRANKFORT, KY 40601 Kentucky Registry of Election Finance 140 Walnut Street Frankfort, KY 40601 HISTORY The Kentucky Registry of Election Finance was created by the General Assembly in 1966 to monitor the financial activity of candidates for public office and committees formed to participate in the election process. Succeeding General Assemblies have adopted amendments to the original act and enacted regulations to support the statutes. The duties and responsibilities of the Registry are found in Chapter 121 of the Kentucky Revised Statues. The Kentucky Registry of Election Finance’s Board held their first meeting on September 13, 1966. Those present were: Frank B. Hower, Jr., Jo M. Ferguson, Jo T. Orendorf, Mrs. Adron Doran, and W. Henderson Dysard. All appointed by Governor Breathitt. On January 21, 1967 the Registry office moved into its first permanent facility located at 310 West Liberty Street, Room 400, Louisville, KY 40202. The offices of the Registry occupied that building for nine years. Then on July 1, 1976 the offices were moved to 1520 Louisville Road, Frankfort, KY 40601 where it resided for 15 years. On July 1, 1991 the offices were moved to the current address of 140 Walnut Street, Frankfort, KY 40601. THE REGISTRY’S ROLE The role of the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance is to assure the integrity of the Commonwealth's electoral process by making certain there is full public access to campaign financial data and financial disclosure reports, and by administering Kentucky's campaign finance laws.
