General Assembly
Call senators – support a moratorium on fracking
Action possible Wednesday in the Kentucky Senate
Legislation that will pave the way for large-scale hydraulic fracking in Kentucky is set to be heard by the Senate Natural Resources and Energy Committee tomorrow (Wednesday) at 11 a.m. We need to drum up support for an anticipated amendment that would place a two-year moratorium on “high volume hydraulic fracking.”
ACTION: Please contact members of the Senate tonight or in the morning before 11. You can call their office directly at 502-564-8100 or leave a message through the Legislative Message Line (800-372-7181). If you’d like to email, you can find their email address or online contact form here: http://www.lrc.ky.gov/whoswho/email.htm
MESSAGE: “Please support adding a two-year moratorium on high volume hydraulic fracking to Senate Bill 186, or vote against the bill without the moratorium.”
If you call the message line, ask that your message be delivered to your senator plus “Sen. Jared Carpenter and all senators.” (Sen. Carpenter is chair of the Natural Resources and Energy Committee)
It is time for the Kentucky Senate to pass HB 70 and let us vote
On February 12, the Kentucky House passed HB 70, a constitutional amendment to restore voting rights to nearly a quarter million Kentuckians. This was the 10th time the bill has passed the House, and the vote of 86-12 was the widest margin of support yet! In fact, our state representatives have cast a total of 799 yes votes for this bill over the years.
It is time for the Kentucky Senate to pass HB 70 and let us vote.

URLTA Bill Handout
Kentuckians know the value of home. The Uniform Landlord Tenant Act (URLTA) is an act that clarifies and codifies the legal duties of landlords and tenants entering into residential lease agreements. Kentucky state law allows cities and counties to adopt it as law, and several communities have: Lexington, Louisville, Somerset, and several communities in Northern Kentucky, for example.
