Hardin County Clerk Discusses State Voter Roll Purge

Hardin County Fiscal Court held their regularly scheduled meeting last night. Hardin County Clerk Brian Smith presented information from his office including a report concerning the State Board of Elections purge of Kentucky’s voter rolls. “The Secretary of State’s office, working with the State Board of Elections, purged outdated voters off of the list. They use a process to remove voters who have died, voters who have moved. They reached out to those voters to try and make sure that no mistakes were made, but it’s possible. Hardin County went from 92,233 voters, our current registration is 86,554. If any voter is worried that they or someone they care about may have been removed by mistake, you can go to GoVoteKY.com and you can check your registration at any time.” The next Fiscal Court meeting will be held on March 14 at 3:30 PM.

Elizabethtown City Council Work Session Update

The Elizabethtown City Council met for their regularly scheduled work session Monday night. Dr Jillian Carden, Executive Director of Silverleaf Services, provided an update on what the non-profit accomplished In 2022 and what is coming this year. Rita Davis, Director of the City Stormwater Department, also provided updates on several projects around the city. Elizabethtown Fire Chief Mark Malone provided information on bids received to make improvements at the fire training center and what those improvements would mean for training. “So, the fire department has needed a way to set fires and put them out repeatedly without burning a building down, so that we can get good at our job. This training tower will give us the opportunity to do that. It has three separate burn rooms so you can set fires in different areas of the building. So you can give different scenarios to the firefighters then they can learn about basement fires, second floor fires, things like that. It’ll have a standpipe system in it so they can practice hotel fires, where we have to hook a hose inside a stairwell. So if we’re handed those situations where it’s unfamiliar, then we’ll have a chance to practice that.” The next regularly scheduled meeting for the City Council is on March 6 at 4:30 PM.
