Waggener High School students on a college visit were injured Tuesday afternoon in a bus crash on Interstate 64 near the Jefferson-Shelby county line.

How many students were injured—and the extent of those injuries—is unclear, says Ben Jackey, a spokesman for Jefferson County Public Schools.

Six TARC routes changed Sunday as the public transit agency attempts to improve service and  save an estimated $1.8 million.

The next leader of Indiana University Southeast is an IU system administrator whose job has included working with regional campuses.

Barbara Bichelmeyer (pronouced Bickle-myer) will on July 1 replace IU Southeast Chancellor Sandra Patterson-Randles, who is retiring after an 11 period period that saw enrollment growth and the erection of dorms on the New Albany campus.

A Kentucky man led a hacktivist group central in the case against two Steubenville, Ohio, football players eventually found guilty of raping a 16-year-old girl at a party, according to various media reports.

And he's been visited by the FBI, unpleasantly.

The ACLU says that African-Americans are significantly more likely to face marijuana charges, the Louisville Metro budget process is well underway (and already has critics) and the man behind the recording of a Mitch McConnell strategy session speaks—these stories and more today on Byline.

Louisville's lawyers have judged the judges. Most of them, anyway.

The lawyers are most satisfied with James Shake on the Jefferson Circuit Court Stephen M. George on the family court.

They're least satisfied with Olu Stevens on the circuit court and Joseph O'Reilly on the family court.

The results from the ACLU's report saying that African-Americans are much more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession surprised the authors. 

They figured that a disparity would exist in the findings. And they were right. What they didn't expect to find is that the disparity existed across the country in many types of community—urban and rural areas, places with large and small African-American populations.

In a disparity topped by only four other states and the District of Columbia, Kentucky African-Americans are six-times likelier to be arrested for marijuana possession than Caucasians, said a new study from the American Civil Liberties Union.

But African-Americans are only slightly more likely than Caucasians to use marijuana—14 percent to 11.6 percent, the study said.

In Jefferson County, African-Americans were 3.5 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession—close to the national average of 3.7 times more likely.

The ACLU of Kentucky says the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling allowing for the collection of DNA without a warrant poses privacy concerns.

On Monday, the Court upheld a Maryland law allowing law enforcement to take and keep DNA samples from people who’ve been arrested—with or without a warrant.
