  • Retired officer subjected to security scan

    To the editor;

    I am a retired Jefferson County police officer and occasionally I am required to visit other courthouses around this area. When I visited Elizabethtown, Hardin County, I was permitted through by showing my retirement badge. I have been given courtesy in the Bullitt County Courthouse in Shepherdsville.

    Recently, I had some business in the Jefferson County Courthouse. I was required to go to three different buildings with security, where I was also permitted to bypass security with my badge.

  • Government should align policy with expectations

    To the editor,

    Our Nelson County is a beautiful place to live and work entirely because of the endless and tireless work of many good people.

    We are very fortunate that so many people appreciate history and take extraordinary steps to preserve it across our local communities. As is the case with Anatok, good people again are making great things happen to preserve a very important part of our local, Catholic history along with a strong anchor to our historic housing stock.

  • Be ready for kindergarten

    To the editor:

    In recent articles in the Courier-Journal and The Kentucky Standard, concern has been raised about the state’s budget shortfall in the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. We are fortunate in Nelson County to have a Community Early Childhood Council partnering with the Governor’s Office of Early Childhood to help raise awareness and assist families in the importance of early care and education.

  • Economic pact remains a mystery

    To the editor,

    In early March, U.S. negotiators will be working behind closed doors in Singapore on a massive agreement called the Trans-Pacific Partnership. There are some major issues with this treaty though.

    This treaty is being sold as a “free trade” agreement, but only five of its 29 chapters have anything to do with trade.

  • Why does wild game receive more protection?

    To the editor,

    Randy Patrick and Eugene Robinson addressed the issue of gun control in the Standard, but neither asked the question that should be asked of Sen. Mitch McConnell and the NRA. Why are doves, deer, ducks and other wild game protected from guns used by hunters while children and the general population receive no protection from guns not intended for hunting anything except people? Kentucky requires hunters to purchase a license that contains their name, address, height, weigh, eye and hair color so they are well identified.
