Welcome to Kentucky Family Policy
This blog is dedicated to examining issues facing the Commonwealth of Kentucky and providing a nonpartisan, family perspective on public policy making. We hope to provide a forum for Kentuckians to review and discuss current legislative actions and the issues such actions are attempting to address. The opinions expressed herein belong solely to the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the University of Kentucky, its affiliates, or its representatives.
What the authors of this blog will contribute:
1) Summarize current state, national, and international research related to topics relevant to current legilative actions.
2) Describe Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service programs and activities currently addressing issues related to legilative actions in the various counties.
3) Provide expert commentaries via podcasts and videocasts on issues relevant to current legilative actions.
Please see "Priority Bills" section on the right for a short list of the most current legislative actions relevant to the family focus of this blog
Our continuing "Spotlight Series":
Cooperative Extension Service provides a range of educational programming and activities to support the well-being of Kentuckians. One good example is in Bullitt County where the County Extension Service taught an 8 week “Weight the Reality” series in collaboration with the Bullitt County Health Department. Twenty participants attended the program with five completing it. The total weight loss for the program was 70 pounds - an average of 3.4 pounds per person.
