Government

District 4 Magistrate Steve Greenwell stood Monday as Oldham County Judge-Executive David Voegele
took a seat at the helm of county government for the first time.
“A tradition is not a tradition until it’s done at least twice, “ Greenwell said, with a large gift in hand.

Concrete details are vital for the future of a proposed Brownsboro school campus, and Oldham planning and zoning commissioners will defer their decision on the three-school project until at least January.

After nearly three hours of eyeing graphs, charts and architectural renderings and hearing testimony about the multi-million dollar project, a number of commissioners said they still lacked adequate information about it.

With six new members and a new judge-executive, the Oldham County Fiscal Court is in the midst of planning, training and organizing themselves before taking office in January.
After attending a recent training with current Judge-Executive Duane Murner, the magistrates chose spots on the court’s nine committees.

His name’s already on a plaque inside the county’s senior activity center, but soon, the outgoing judge-executive will have his name somewhere a little larger – the side of the building.
At a recent fiscal court meeting, Deputy Judge-Executive Paula Gish announced to the court the intention of the county to put Judge-Executive Duane Murner’s name on the county’s senior center activity building.
