Judge Asked To Hold Officials In Contempt

{Louisville, Kentucky}...The Courier-Journal said Wednesday it is asking Franklin County Circuit Judge Philip Shepherd to hold child-welfare officials with the Cabinet for Health and Family Services in contempt for heavily redacting files related to child deaths before releasing them. The Courier-Journal and the Lexington Herald-Leader sued to get information in the files. The cabinet initially refused but relented after Governor Steve Beshear intervened last month and told the cabinet to hand over the files. The cabinet released its first records Monday while also filing a motion to withhold more information that it had previously agreed to.
