After battling their way through this year's General Assembly, several new laws will soon go into effect.
61 Senate bills and 120 House bills made it though this year's session and most of them go on the books starting July 15th. Some of the new laws include stiffer penalties for people who sexually abuse children or abuse animals, ways for gas station owners to force drive-off thieves to pay up without going to court, and possible felony arrests for anyone who leaves the scene of a serious car accident.

there is alot of animal cruelty in leslie county with no one to report it to, or no one that cares. i wish someone that had some power to stop it would investigate. all you have to do is drive around and you see dogs chained 24/7 with little or no shelter nor food and water. what little water you do see has mold and worms swimming in it. the hurts creek area and wooten areas are some of the worst. dogs are chained up 24/7 under cliffs “large rocks”, or on hillsides. some are covered with mange and fleas. the owners do not care, i’ve heard people say “its just the way things are around here. the owners never pet or love on them or show them any affection. they are just doomed to a life they do not deserve. i am only one person and if i speak up and people know its me, then they will probably seek revenge, “it’s the way they do in leslie county…burn you house down or shoot you or a member of your family”. please, someone out there help these poor defenseless animals.
