Former Kentucky Gov. Julian Carroll has died at the age of 92. The Democrat served as governor from 1974 to 1979. He led efforts to improve public schools and modernize the judicial system during an eventful tenure. He rekindled his political career decades later as a state legislator. Carroll’s family says he died Sunday at a hospital in Frankfort. His family says it’s “with the heaviest of hearts that we grieve the loss of our beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather.” Kentucky’s current Democratic governor, Andy Beshear, says on social media that Carroll dedicated his career to public service.
