The last full week of July brought a full agenda of good discussions about some of our most pressing issues and several interim joint committee (IJC) and task force meetings. As the page turns on another month in this year’s calendar, we are certainly doubling down in order to be ready for the session we will convene on Tuesday, January 2, 2024.
JACKSON COUNTY, OR - The Oregon State Police Central Point office will be temporarily relocated to Gold Hill effective Tuesday, August 1.
CARROLLTON, KY – The Kentucky State Police (KSP) is reporting that KSP Post 5, Campbellsburg received information on Friday that a subject was fleeing from other law enforcement agencies in a stolen vehicle and traveling towards the Post 5 area.
ROSARYVILLE, MD - Maryland State Police are continuing to investigate a fatal crash that happened on Friday, July 28, 2023 in Prince George’s County.
FRANKFORT, KY – Attorney General Daniel Cameron joined a 27-state coalition in filing an amicus brief to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to reject so-called "Chevron deference", a legal doctrine that can require courts to defer to a federal agency's interpretation of a statute. Chevron deference has allowed the federal bureaucracy to expand its authority without the judiciary as a backstop.
LONDON, KY - Laurel County Sheriff John Root is reporting that: Laurel Sheriff's K-9 Deputy Brian France arrested Dewey Wagers age 43 of Hodgenville, KY early Thursday morning July 27, 2023 at approximately 5:49 AM.
