Controversy continues over use of state airplanes

By Sarah Ladd and Joe Sonka, Louisville Courier Journal

Amid controversy surrounding his numerous unexplained flights aboard taxpayer-owned planes, Gov. Matt Bevin released on Thursday evening what he calls a "comprehensive list of the purpose of official travel" for his trips from 2016 through the end of August. The list shows trips to everything from auto shows to meetings with President Donald Trump, with the accompanying statement criticizing media coverage and declaring that "there are no 'secret flights,' as insinuated by some."

However, the list of flights released by Bevin's office fails to document many trips taken by the governor on aircraft owned by the Kentucky State Police for political campaign events and other reasons not related to his duties as governor that still remain a secret to taxpayers.

By Christopher Coombs

Lawrenceville, GA - The No. 12-ranked Lindsey Wilson men's soccer team used a pair of first-half goals against Mobile (Ala.) on Friday afternoon to pick up their first win of the Grizzly Classic.

The contest was a physical battle as the match featured 26 total fouls called, 15 against the Blue Raiders. In total, there were seven cards as the Blue Raiders were flagged for two red cards late in the second half that ultimately led LWC playing the final 30 minutes of action without two players.

Lindsey Wilson controlled the first half as they managed six of their 11 shots in the game during the first 45 minutes. All three shots on goal for the game also came during the opening half.
