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.

Man charged after setting fire inside of Bowling Green Towers
SUMMARY: A 38-year-old man, James Short, was arrested for allegedly igniting a fire in Bowling Green Towers, prompting a response from both police and fire departments. Upon arrival, officers found Short on the 15th floor, where he resisted arrest by lunging at an officer. A search revealed a butane can, lighter, and charred clothing in his apartment, leading a fire inspector to believe the fire was intentionally started. Residents in nearby units were present during the incident, which caused water damage from the sprinkler system. Short faces multiple charges, including arson and resisting arrest, and is now in custody.
