Chapter 2 A Slow Start for Kentucky’s Children The story of education throughout the South is roughly parallel to that of the rest of the nation but with at least three significant additional influences: 1) the widespread agrarian attitude that education was largely a family matter, and for many, a matter of little necessity; 2) racism, born of slavery and plantation economics; and 3) its offspring, traditionalism, which reinforces paternalism, skeptical attitudes toward government and maintenance of the status quo. So change in the South comes slowly, when it comes. In the earliest days of the Union, a gradual and essentially peaceful abolition took place in the North. Typically, a state would pass a law declaring: all slaves born after a given date would be free when they reach the age of 21 for women, or 24 for men.

  • 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.

  • Ernie Fletcher Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky by Liz Demoran
    ________________________________________________________________________ Feature Ernie Fletcher Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky By Liz Demoran December 9 at 12:01 a.m. University of Kentucky alumnus Ernest Lee “Ernie” Fletcher became the first person to be sworn in as governor of Kentucky in the 21st century and the new millennium. His inauguration also marked the beginning of the first Republican administration in Kentucky in more than three decades. Fletcher received a B.S. degree from the University of Kentucky College of Engineering in 1974 and was a 1984 graduate of the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. He joins a list of UK graduates who have held the chief executive post, with the most recent predecessors being Paul E. Patton (1995-2003), John Y. Brown Jr. (1983- 1987) and Martha Layne Collins (1979- 1983). In his inaugural address Fletcher said that his administration will build upon the successes Kentucky education has seen in recent years. “Whatever success Kentucky has in the future will be achieved only by citizens who Kentucky Governor Ernie Fletcher stands with his wife, Glenna receive a complete and vigorous Foster Fletcher. Photo courtesy of governor’s office education. And that includes higher education,” he said. “In the new, knowledge-based economy, higher education is absolutely necessary. We want to have outstanding regional and research universities, and we will work to place a university among the top 20 research institutions in America.” Only days after his inauguration, Fletcher was one of the dignitaries at groundbreaking ceremonies for the UK College of Pharmacy’s Center for Pharmaceutical Science and Technology at UK’s Coldstream Research Campus.

University of Central Arkansas, Gregory J. W. Urwin Conway Kentucky’s Governors, 1792-1985. Edited by Lowell H. Harrison. (Lexington: University Press of Kentucky, 1985. Pp. xxi, 217. Suggested readings, index. $22.00.) Lowell H. Harrison should be complimented for editing these fifty-four essays by thirty-two authors who chronicle Kentucky’s history through its chief executives. He provides a sensible pref- ace without grandiose claims, and Thomas D. Clark’s introduc- tion establishes a helpful framework for understanding the governors’ milieux. This collection is aimed at the general reader, but because the work is done largely by professors, more atten- tion is devoted to analyzing policies than to tracing genealogies. Overall, the venture is a welcome contribution, although one of mixed quality and success. Constitutionally limited to one term, Kentucky governors have four years to create a memorable record. Many have failed at this, and their biographers generally do not inflate their at- tempts. Some who distinguished themselves were aided by cir- cumstances beyond their control. Isaac Shelby, for instance, remains notable mainly for being the first governor, William Goebel for his assassination, A. B. “Happy” Chandler for his flamboyance and longevity, and Martha Layne Collins for be- coming the first female chief executive. Others, such as George Johnson and Richard Hawes who were Civil War governors of an unofficial Confederate Kentucky, have virtually disappeared from memory.
