The Morgantown-Butler County Chamber of Commerce held its April luncheon on Thursday. State senator CB Embry Jr. was the guest speaker for the event.

"We are very lucky regionally and statewide to have a state senator that lives two blocks from city hall," Mayor Billy Phelps said.

Embry, a Republican, has been a member of the state senate since 2015 and was the first native of Butler County to be elected in 60 years. He was in the Kentucky House of Representatives from 2002-2014.
