With thousands of Kentuckians still without word on long standing unemployment payments, one local legislator is hoping to solve some of the problem. 25th district representative Jim Duplessis announced this week that he would be filing a bill during the opening of next week’s general assembly that would seek to reopen unemployment offices to in-person traffic once again. Currently, Duplessis says claims are being processed mainly through the phone.
Duplessis says he’s talked with house leadership about the bill’s future saying he’s received support from others on the measure.
