For a second time, Christian Fiscal Court refused to make the county a second amendment sanctuary county after more citizens were on hand to request magistrates take the action during Tuesday’s meeting.
Matt McGowan, a representative for Kentucky United Christian County, and several other individuals addressed the fiscal court for a second time this month asking for magistrates to consider a 2nd Amendment Sanctuary county resolution. Judge-Executive Steve Tribble again said he is against the resolution and it would take more than two magistrates to have the measure put on the fiscal court agenda.

He added all three legislators had contacted him and said they would protect Kentuckians 2nd Amendment rights.
Magistrates Phillip Peterson and Jerry Gilliam again stated their support for the 2nd Amendment Sanctuary County. Peterson says he believes it should start at the local level to send a message to Frankfort.

Gilliam says he respects everyone on the fiscal court but added he is also disappointed they would not take it one step further and declare Christian County a 2nd Amendment Sanctuary County.

In new business, magistrates also approved a resolution regarding an emergency declaration and negotiated bid process pertaining to damages at Ruff Park and the Senior Citizens Center. County Treasurer Walter Cummings told magistrates that KACo has agreed to deal with local contractors who will be making the repairs to the facilities. At this time, Cummings tells the News Edge he has not received a total dollar amount for the damages.
