Parents in Pike County who have been ordered by the court to pay child support and are behind in payments or haven’t paid at all, could find themselves in court
During the April 20 Pike County Fiscal Court meeting, Pike Judge-Executive Ray Jones explained that the countyâs problem with illegal dumping is playing a role in the advancement of the adventure tourism industry in the county.
âAll the talk, all the good intentions, all the money we spend will not be successful as long as the people of this county tolerate littering and illegal dumping,â Jones said. âPeople are not going to come here and visit, pay to stay here and ride the trails when they see garbage and illegal dumps along the trail.â
People are not going to come to Eastern Kentucky as long as we have litter and illegal dumping problems,â Jones explained. âThereâs absolutely no reason for it nor is there any excuse for it since we have solid waste pickup.â
