To the editor, Trump’s tariffs hurt the bourbon industry which greatly reduced exports of Bourbon to the European Union which is the largest market for Kentucky’s premier export. It took President Biden in 2021 getting involved to restore the bourbon exports to Europe. You might want to think about this when you go to the […]
To the editor, The constitutional amendment termed allowing “school choice” is set to be on the ballot in November. Passing Amendment 2 to the Kentucky State Constitution would seriously dim Kentucky’s bright future. Losing dollars to fund charter schools would be detrimental to every Kentuckian. The tapestry of education in Kentucky is woven from the […]
To the editor, While driving, I often see signs in people’s yards stating “Vote Yes or Vote No” for Amendment 2 that will be on the Nov. 5 ballot. At face value, voters may think parents should have the right to send their children to any school they want. After all, they pay taxes. Since […]
To the editor, For the last several days, people have posted, on social media, concerning the cost of the Bourbon Festival. Like others, I followed the posts on Nelson County Overwatch and have surmised the newbies of Bardstown and Nelson County only like free activities and dislike the bourbon industry in general.

To the editor, Justin Hall’s opinion “Letter: November election,” fails to realize that two policies of his one-time president are the primary causes of the economic imbalance between consumers and corporations.

On the left is a photo of a young man, circa 2009, cloaked in his graduation gown and hell bent on taking the next steps of life […]
To the editor, Showing Lee Watts’s video about Andy Stone is another example of Jim Brooks’ obvious bias towards Candy Massaroni. I feel I’m not alone in my viewpoint. By the way, Lee Watts lost in his election. Michael WheatleyBardstown Editor’s Note: The video referred to here was a snippet from Lee Watts’ own YouTube […]
To the editor, Over the years, the level of a politician’s support for one of our most fundamental rights, that of having the means of self-defense, has clearly been shown to correlate closely with their positions on other issues, both foreign and domestic. State Representative candidate Andy Stone only received a “B” score from the […]
To the editor, I would like to respond to Mr. Nolan Massaroni’s recent letter addressing the “tactics and rhetoric” of Mr. Andy Stone during the 50th District primary campaign. I understand Mr. Massaroni’s desire to defend his wife, but to attack Mr. Stone’s character is pretty rich given the mailers I’ve received for his wife’s […]
