Oct. 31, 2007 — Being part of the fall Funtoberfest was great. Although the day was windy and cool people still came out to enjoy the events. ENOUGH was honored to be included in the day’s planning, showing the community again that we care as we gathered at the Justice Center to pray for our community with God’s guidance and protection for our leaders.
Running the Corn Hole Competition was a lot of fun. There were 12 teams and they all played a great game. Each team that moved into the second phase won two out of three games tossed and at the end we had three winners. Bobby Sparks and Mike Campbell took first place and walked away with $100. Earl Walker and Wayne Terry took the second place prize of $40 while Ray and Tammy Finley came in third receiving back their entry fee of $20.
When I was told that ENOUGH would be sponsoring the Corn Hole Tournament I wasn’t sure how it would turn out. I didn’t even know the rules of the game, but after a few calls I was thrilled when Tracy and Eric Fleming stepped up to coordinate the games. They did a great job and brought with them the judges and even some teams to play. I want to thank everyone that participated in all the activities of ENOUGH. We wouldn’t be where we are today without you all.
Don’t forget to call if you need prayer, someone to talk to, or if you want to join a local support group. We are here to help where we can. Call ENOUGH at 606-474-2607.

Senate week in review: Medicaid
This week, we saw some very good legislation and, unfortunately, some very poor legislation moving through the legislative process. Legislation I strongly opposed dealt with a proposed measure to balance the Medicaid budget. Medicaid needs to be fixed – no doubt about that -- but it needs to be fixed with Medicaid money and not by sacrificing education as well as other state programs and jobs.

Legislative action picks up speed in General Assembly
With only eleven legislative days remaining in this year’s session, our time was used to act on numerous pieces of legislation this week in order to have enough time for the Senate to consider and approve these bills prior to the ten-day veto period.

Senate week in review
Each week brings new challenges in the Kentucky State Senate and this week was no different. The 30-day "short session" we hold in odd years may not seem like enough time to discuss and approve laws that could change the lives of ordinary Kentuckians, but we have managed to pass important bills.
