When the pragmatically liberal Governor Bert T. Combs passed his 3% retail sales tax, in 1960, the people on the Cumberland Plateau felt a surge of confidence. After decades of neglect, local school boards in eastern Kentucky were finally able to offer qualified teachers with a college degree a raise of $900 dollars per year, and perhaps, stem the tide of good teachers who were leaving the region for bigger cities, or leaving the state for greener pastures in Ohio or Tennessee. The tax helped military veterans and funded new classrooms. Teacher standards were raised, a network of vocational schools and ten community colleges opened, and work began on the ambitious Kentucky Educational Television network which would greatly expand educational programming in rural areas. As lawyer and former Kentucky state legislator Harry M. Caudill reported, in his definitive Night Comes to the Cumberlands, that the public schools in eastern Kentucky lagged far behind. A 1960 University of Kentucky study found that high school graduates in Harlan County were performing three years and five months behind high school graduates nationally and were in no position to compete for good jobs.

The study employs both an historical recounting of the “story” of House Bill 1 and a narrative analysis of opinion-editorials and policymaker interviews to reveal and explain how political power comprised both the perennial problem of Kentucky’s higher education policymaking – and the tool with which conflicts over power distribution were resolved.

    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.
