Hail to the Chief Inauguration 2009
A first for The Meade County Messenger, reporter Larry See Jr. was on the mall to witness the inauguration of President Obama.
Jan. 20 was one for the history books when Barack Obama took the oath of office as the president of the United States.
And the Meade County Messenger was there.
Staff writer/photographer Larry See Jr. learned Jan. 8 the process he began Nov. 12 had resulted in his receiving press credentials for the Kentucky Inaugural Bluegrass Ball Jan. 19 and the Jan. 20 Inauguration, the theme of which is “Renewing America’s Promise.”
We’re excited about being represented in our nation’s capital for this historic event and applaud Larry See for taking the initiative in bringing coverage of the inauguration to the readers of the Meade County Messenger.
Due to printing deadlines, only shots of opening ceremonies were available for this edition. Full coverage of the inauguration will be in the Jan. 28 edition.

County attorney resolution, audit investigation are closed
Two issues, which have dogged members of the Meade County Fiscal Court for several months, are closed.
Closure came during the Court’s Jan. 13 meeting, when members agreed to rescind, on a 5-2 vote, a previous resolution regarding the county attorney investigator’s position, and reviewed a written report by County Attorney Margaret Matney on a violation of state statutes.
County festival assistance funds are liable to dry up
Events like the Battletown Blowout, Brandenburg’s Christmas by the River and the Ekron Community Picnic might continue this year, but they won’t receive county reimbursement.
In years past, Meade County budgeted funds to reimburse these communities for their events, sort of a goodwill gesture.
Storm water headache greets Muldraugh council again
At 1 p.m. Jan. 12, Muldraugh Mayor Danny Joe Tate’s day was ruined.
A call from a representative of the Kentucky Division of Water informed him if the city didn’t start taking action on their storm water infiltration plan, they would be seeing noncompliance fines of $10,000 per day.
And for a city whose general fund only had $5,105.24 in it as of Dec. 31, that’s a chunk of change.
