RNN BOWLING GREEN 04/24/26          RAPID GROWTH ON BOWLING GREEN’S EAST SIDE HAS PROMPTED CITY COMMISSIONERS TO APPROVE A 3.1 MILLION DOLLAR PURCHASE FOR A NEW POLICE PRECINCT. THE DEPARTMENT WILL TRANSFORM THE CURRENT SHERWOOD’S GUNS PROPERTY ON BRYANT WAY INTO A SECONDARY HEADQUARTERS, FEATURING EIGHTEEN THOUSAND SQUARE FEET OF SPACE AND AN INDOOR SHOOTING RANGE.           POLICE CHIEF MICHAEL DELANEY SAYS THE MOVE IS VITAL TO BYPASS HEAVY TRAFFIC ON SCOTTSVILLE ROAD AND IMPROVE EMERGENCY RESPONSE TIMES. THE NEW PRECINCT IS EXPECTED TO BE OPERATIONAL BY OCTOBER.            THE KENTUCKY HOUSE AND SENATE HAVE ISSUED A RARE PUBLIC REPRIMAND OF STATE SUPREME COURT JUSTICE KELLY THOMPSON. BOTH RESOLUTIONS, PASSED LAST WEEK, CENSURE THE BOWLING GREEN JUSTICE FOLLOWING HIS OPINION IN A HIGH-PROFILE IMPEACHMENT CASE. THOMPSON HAD WARNED THAT THE LEGISLATURE’S ATTEMPT TO REMOVE A FAYETTE CIRCUIT JUDGE WAS AN "UNWARRANTED" MOVE TO STIFLE JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE. WHILE THE STATE’S HIGH COURT ULTIMATELY BLOCKED THE IMPEACHMENT AS UNCONSTITUTIONAL, LAWMAKERS SAY THOMPSON’S COMMENTS CROSSED THE LINE.
