Senator Jason Howell Honored with 2024 Kentucky Chamber MVP Award
SUMMARY: Senator Jason Howell received the Kentucky Chamber MVP Award in December for his leadership in supporting Kentucky businesses during the 2024 General Assembly. He sponsored key legislation, including House Bill 320, which reformed Kentucky’s statute of limitations on employment-related claims. The award recognizes legislators who champion business-friendly policies, such as passing critical bills that enhance competitiveness and growth. The 2024 session resulted in significant pro-business measures, saving Kentucky businesses approximately $1.006 billion. The Kentucky Chamber tracks legislators’ support for business priorities, and MVP recipients go beyond voting to actively support or oppose crucial issues for the state’s business climate.

Metro snow crews working to clear emergency routes
SUMMARY: City officials urged residents to remove vehicles from emergency snow routes by midnight Thursday for snow removal efficiency. Despite this deadline, many cars remain parked on routes like Brownsboro Road, as residents struggle to find alternative parking due to limited options. Some have complied, while others, like William Wright, voiced concerns about insufficient parking availability, especially in snowed-in areas. Although there are no immediate penalties for remaining vehicles, those parked in these areas risk being plowed in, requiring owners to shovel them out. An interactive map of the 149 affected streets is available on the city’s website for resident reference.
