  • Thanks from CASA

     As they have for the past five years, Susan Bradbury and First Federal Banks have worked hard to make Christmas 2013 a good memory for many Bullitt County children involved with the CASA program. These are children in the court system due to dependency, abuse and neglect and no fault of their own.

    With the help of the First Federal Angel tree, community members are able to pick an angel (CASA child) to buy Christmas for. Through these efforts over 70 children received a Christmas they would not have had otherwise.

    Thanks so much!

  • Legislative suggestions

      Since the General Assembly is in session and legislatures are entering and voting on bills, I would like to mention a couple of things that need fixing along with a couple that don’t need fixing. 

     We don’t need more bills to regulate women’s personal lives and interfering with the rights they already have.

  • Thanks from AARP

     Mount Washington AARP just celebrated its greatest year of community service with donations to charities that help seniors, veterans, children, and those in need.

  • Thanks PBI, community

     Through the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, many people offer generous hearts to help those that are less fortunate. It’s a time to bless others and a time to reflect on just how blessed we all are.

    This year A New Hope Pregnancy Resource Center was blessed to receive donations collected by PBI Bank located at 340 S. Buckman St. in Shepherdsville and their patrons. We received a cash donation along with a diaper bag, baby clothing, diapers and several other infant necessities.

  • Smoking ban for All

     I am a resident of Bullitt County and would like to explain my reasons for urging our Fiscal Court to either drop sections 2 and 4 from the proposed Smoking Ordinance 13-32 or vote it down all together.

  • Roads should be better

     Over the holidays I had the opportunity to travel across some of Kentucky’s highways and have to say that Bullitt County has THE WORST ROADS in Kentucky, HANDS DOWN.

    I just don’t get it. How is it that Bullitt County has JIM BEAM, AMAZON, ZAPPO’S, PUBLISHER’S PRINTING, GORDON FOODS, LOWE’S and a new WAL-MART under construction (to name just a few) and ALL THOSE TAXES are going where?????

  • Smoke-free in jeopardy

     A healthier, Smoke-Free Bullitt County is in jeopardy!  On Tuesday morning, January 7, 2014, at 9:30 am, the Bullitt County Fiscal Court will meet again for a possible vote on ordinance No. 13-32, which regulates smoking in buildings, workplaces and facilities owned or operated by Bullitt County.

  • Becoming independent

     Some people have been wondering if I am going to run for election to political office in 2014.

    Me too, frankly.

    Only God knows what the future will hold, but I have finally decided to not run.

    Additionally, my wife and I have changed our political affiliation to “Independent.”

    That decision alone probably assures the end of any hope to serve in elected office.  But we agreed that we see so much negative, so much blind politics, from both major parties today that we really no longer wanted to be tied to either.
