  • This Region, Centered Around Lexington, Is Known for Its Bluegrass. However, Bluegrass Is Not Really Blue — It's Green
    N O I G E R S S A R G E U L B This region, centered around Lexington, is known for its bluegrass. However, bluegrass is not really blue — it’s green. In the spring, bluegrass produces bluish-purple buds that when seen in large fields give a rich blue cast to the grass. Today those large “bluegrass” fields are home to some of the best known horse farms in the world. With more than 500 horse farms in and around Lexington, the area is known as the Horse Capital of the World.

  • 2010 Kentucky General Assembly Directory Visitor’S Guide
    2010 Kentucky General Assembly Directory Visitor’s Guide February 2010 Paid for with state funds. Available in alternative form 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.

  • VOTE Tuesday, Nov. 6
    VOTE Tuesday, Nov. 6 This year C-FAIR, the political action committee (PAC) of the Fairness Campaign, proudly endorsed more than 90 candidates for state and local offices across Kentucky in the 2018 General Election. We are proud to share them with you in this newsletter, which includes a full list of endorsed candidates and brief endorsement narratives in a few select races. You might be wondering why you do not see endorsements in the many important races for Congress across Kentucky, but as a state PAC, C-FAIR only endorses candidates for state and local office, not federal office. These endorsements represent hundreds of volunteer hours performed by C-FAIR Board Members and community volunteers, who interviewed a record number of candidates for our PAC—more than 120 in total! All candidates in races being considered by C-FAIR were mailed an instruction letter to their address filed with the Kentucky Secretary of State or County Clerk. Those letters provided a link to an online candidate survey. Candidates who completed the survey, and whose answers were viewed favorably by the C-FAIR Board of Directors, were invited to an interview with a team of C-FAIR Board Members and supporters, who interviewed each candidate in a particular race in person General Election ‘18 or by phone. Following the interview the teams made recommendations of endorsement to the C-FAIR Board of Directors, which issues final endorsement decisions.

While it is difficult, the C-FAIR Board of Directors endeavors to choose one candidate for endorsement in each Page 4 race.
