I tell folks we need to showcase Eastern Kentucky. We not only have a beautiful landscape, we have beautiful people in Eastern Kentucky.
According to Judge-Executive Ray Jones, educating children is key to addressing the issue of illegal dumping:

Other topics discussed included disaster recovery funds, tourism, and restaurant tax.
