FRANKFORT, Ky. - A bill that would open the door for the City of Corbin to annex businesses near Exit 29 on a voluntary basis passed the House Standing Committee on Local Government Monday morning by a vote of 12-1, with two representatives passing on their vote.
Senate Bill 274 (SB 274) was passed by the Kentucky Senate on March 5 after three days of being passed over, and despite the efforts of Senator Brandon Storm (R-London) to postpone voting. Storm urged his fellow senators to vote no on the bill after the roll call vote to table the bill was defeated, but SB 274 ended up passing the Senate Chamber by a vote of 20-12-2.

As many Kentuckians are planning to recognize the one-year mark of the death of Breonna Taylor at the hands of Louisville Metro Police Department officers, a group of Murray State University students are also working to honor her memory.
The MSU College Democrats will host a candlelight vigil Saturday at 6 p.m. in the Elizabeth Hall Amphitheater on Murray State’s campus. The group’s president, Ryan Ackermann, told WKMS the members of the College Democrats felt called to keep the spotlight on Taylor one year after her killing.
“We decided that it would be a very good thing to have a vigil for her in her memory, and honor her life,” Ackermann said.
