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
Boyd County Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) Council, with Diversity Council, Human Rights Commission, members of Ashland Community Technical College, Ashland School System, the ministerial association and the community, held a forum for city office candidates. A news anchor from TV-station WSAZ directed the panel of candidates, who each spoke for 10 minutes prior to answering questions from the professionals and audience. 95 people participated in the program to gain information about candidates to make more informed voting decisions. As a follow-up the FCS Council, along with Human Rights Commission, have planned a 2012 community relations forum called "Let's Talk" to encourage community dialogue that will feature a member of community relations at the Department of Justice.
