According to state police reports, Trooper Eric Moore responded after receiving a complaint of someone possi- bly intoxicated inside of Wendy’s. Once Moore arrived, he observed Hasty getting out of the vehicle in the restaurant’s parking lot. He also noticed that the vehicle was parked in a handicap spot without a handicap placard. Upon further investigation, Moore noticed that, during field sobriety tests, Hasty appeared intoxicated. Witnesses also told police that they saw Hasty driving the vehicle mo- ments before police arrived. Mt.

  • 2014 Kentucky General Assembly Directory Visitors’ Guide
    2014 Kentucky General Assembly Directory Visitors’ Guide Paid for with state funds. Available in alternative format by request. Legislative Research Commission LRC Legislative Research Commission Foreword When the fi rst Kentucky General Assembly met in 1792, its members chose the term “commonwealth” to describe Kentucky. While there is no legal difference between a commonwealth and a state, Kentucky’s early leaders perhaps wanted to assert an indepen- dence of ideals and governance. By defi nition, a commonwealth is a political unit founded on law, united for the common good, and with supreme authority vested in the people. This ultimately de- fi nes Kentucky: government by the people and for the people. Like most states, Kentucky has a part-time citizen legislature with members from diverse backgrounds and communities. All 138 members, however, serve year-round as legislators, representing constituents, helping them solve problems, and studying new ideas. Of Kentucky’s three branches of government—execu- tive, judicial, and legislative—the legislative is the one closest to the people and the one into which Kentuck- ians have the most direct input. Consequently, it is benefi cial to both the legislature and our citizens that the work of the General Assembly be understood and the legislative process be used to its full potential.
