Atttorney Mike Harris comments on Panhandling Ordinance 2016-02-03 - City Hall, 116 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, CM photo. Columbia Attorney Mike Harris challenged the proposed "Panhandling Ordinance," at the Monday, February 1, 2016 regular session of city council, calling the ordinance unconstitutional on the basis of infringemen of First Amendment Free Speech rights. He said at the meeting that there could be a major overhaul of the proposed law which might make it legal, but even so, he thought it totally unnecessary. Later, Harris said he hoped the City Council would simply let the matter die, that no "Panhandling Ordinance" should be passed. The matter is now back to a committee which includes Mayor Curtis Hardwick and Council Members Linda Waggener and Craig Dean. - EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Mayor, City consider repair service to eliminate tripping hazards 2016-02-02 - City Hall, 116 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, CM photo. Columbia Mayor Curtis Hardwick pointed out demonstration sidewalk repairs in front of City Hall done by a company which offered to do this repair at no charge. Where there was a tripping hazard one can only know, now, where it was by the different, whiter coloration. In time, Mayor Hardwick was told, the new concrete repair will darken to the same color as the original. The mayor plans to get exact costs for repairs for a large number of tripping hazards around town and present it to City Council. Already, his sidewalk committee is looking at some of the most ambitious sidewalk projects the city has ever undertaken, working with Lindsey Wilson College, local property owners, and with residents and the school board to get sidewalks from town to the Adair County School campus.
