Kudos to Senators Dan Seum, Gerald Neal and The Louisville Metro Council.

Kudos to Senator Dan Seum, R-Fairdale, for filing a resolution (SJR 93) to rename the Kentucky portion of I-65 for President Abraham Lincoln. This IS a well deserved honor for the Kentucky born GREAT Emancipator. Mind you, this action will not compete, but will rather complement, the proposed actions of the Louisville Metro Council's latest UNANIMOUS vote to rename the Louisville stretch of the same Interstate for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Senator Gerald Neal's measure (SJR 16) in the Legislature to sanction the Council's actions. So call, or email to voice your support. Don't know who your Legislator is? Find him or her here.

Update: 7:27 p. m.: Thanks to all of you who have called or emailed your Legislator -- and more thanks to Senate President David Williams and Speaker Jody Richards -- the Senate has put the MLK, Jr., bill on a fast track and the House promises to do the same next week. Keep those communications coming, including urging for a similar fast track action for the Abraham Lincoln bill.
