Trigg Accountability

The fiscal court mentioned property values have gone up in Trigg. Did they go up because of new industry?

I thought it was a joke that a self defense class was held at the Trigg Sheriff's Office. But there was a class. I asked my daughter if any of her friends were going and she said no. It is poor taste with the problems the sheriff has.

There were 2 accidents in Trigg County yesterday. One resulted in a death.
Why does WKDZ often report "Sheriff Aaron Acree says" but does not include the names of other responders that were on the scene? Both reports have his name in it. Does not happen with Cadiz Police Department reports. Does not happen with surrounding counties to have a chief or sheriff mentioned.
Is WKDZ trying to improve his image? Does this help to change the algorithms when people search his name?
A friend brought this to my attention this morning. She said the firemen are important but are not mentioned by name in reports. She said they are all volunteers too.

What is your opinion on the new building at the football field?
Aren't there presently 3 gyms for students to use for practice? When my children were in school, they had one gym and they managed.
The big supporter of this building is all for sports, for sports afforded his kids scholarships to college. I think he is a sports reporter for WKDZ. He needs to be more courteous in his responses to people.
Just because I or you don't have children in school now does not mean we do not understand.

It is nice the new Farmers Market building is coming along in the new location. I understand the Amish are building it.
They are hard workers and good at their craft. They won't be using cellphones while they are working as many workers do.

I noticed the Trigg County Sheriff sure is getting publicity this year, compared to last year. Wonder why? Why does WKDZ repeatedly mention his name instead of only the office? They do not do that in other reports of accidents or crimes. Very obvious.

The lack of professionalism demonstrated by the mother of Sheriff Acree is an embarrassment to the community and should be an embarrassment to him.
It would be sad to have to have one's mother to take to social media to attack folks.

Another lawsuit has been filed against the Trigg fiscal court, Christian fiscal court, Christian County Jail Deputy Hicks and Sheriff Acree. This is a result of an arrest and unfortunate later death of the person that was taken into custody.
The media is not covering this lawsuit. The suit was filed December 12, 2022.

A group of concerned citizens are seeking to have the proposed "NICKEL TAX" placed on a ballot. This will give voters the ability to vote yes or no for the increase in the school tax.
A person can stop by 312 Main Street to sign the petition from 9 am to 5 pm.

Shame on them.

Following a lengthy public hearing Friday afternoon, members of the Trigg County Board of Education unanimously passed on second reading a nickel tax for increased bonding potential and imminent capital projects. Board members asserted that taking the

This is a page to discuss the Nickel Tax that the Trigg County Board of Education slyly voted for today.
1. Having a meeting at noon on a workday
2. Proposing this tax right after the election and during the holidays that are coming up

The citizens need to band together and run for school board seats.

This page was created to help get information out to the tax paying citizens of Trigg County.

How much will this cost the county? When will the insurance company notice the number of cases Trigg has? Are there more cases to be filed?

A Cadiz woman has filed a lawsuit in federal court in Paducah naming Trigg County Sheriff Aaron Acree, Jailer James Hughes, and Trigg County Fiscal Court as defendants. Acree was indicted on November 30 on single counts

I read comments on another page about the Fiscal Court meeting last night. Is there a problem when citizens ask questions?

Is it proper for a County Judge Executive to cuss an elected official? That happened last week after the grand jury hearing.

Continual embarrassments to Trigg County. I read also a person is writing a book about the corruption and scandals in the County. It will be a big book.

Trigg County magistrates Monday evening unanimously approved for County Attorney Randy Braboy to begin his research and development on how to properly annex Frye Road into the county map. Judge-Executive Hollis Alexander noted that it’s an ongoing

Taxpayers will feel the effect of the various lawsuits filed against the county. The rates will increase.

About 50% of the voters voted for the write-in candidates. The WKDZ report is slanted as to be expected from them.

Has there been any mention of the investigation that is still pending?

The Trigg Gossip page disappeared yesterday. Someone thought it may have been shut down by the sheriff applying pressure. What do you think?

The ballot for the November 8 election.

There is good news about Trigg County Schools and some places to improve.

Trigg Intermediate was placed in the “yellow,” or average, category — and sits in the targeted support and improvement federal classification for special education. Proficient-Distinguished scores bounced back in reading from 37.6% to 46% and from 23.7% to 38% in math, but saw drops in science from 32.8% to 28%, and in writing from 37.9% to 27%.

Trigg Middle was also placed in the “yellow,” or average, category with a federal designation of targeted support and improvement. While science Proficient-Distinguished scores fell in science from 22.7% to 16%, TCMS remained steady in reading at 44% and saw noted gains in math from 18.8% to 41%, and writing from 44.8% to 57%.

Trigg High was placed in the “green,” or above average, category, with no federal classifications. Reading scores rebounded from 34.4% to 46%, as did math from 32.8% to 47%. Only 11% of students placed Proficient-Distinguished in 2022, and only 23% placed as such in science.

Other low and high points included:

— Third and fifth grade reading and math scored above the state, as did fifth grade social studies, editing and writing mechanics.
— The intermediate school saw two tough questions cost them on a quality of school climate & safety survey: Is students being mean or hurtful to other students not a problem for this school? And is students being mean or hurtful to other students online (such as websites & apps) not a problem for this school?
— In the middle school, the same students who scored just 28.9% P/D in math as seventh graders, turned around and scored 53% P/D as eight graders.
— Trigg County High School’s career and collegiate readiness was rated “blue,” the second-best designation in the Commonwealth. It was the highest-ranked assessment in the district.

Trigg County Schools officials and corresponding site-based decision-making councils met in collaboration last week, to fully discuss and analyze the 2022 Kentucky Summative Assessment data released by the state’s Department of Education — and with mostly good
