According to state officials, State Rep. and House Majority
Floor Leader John “Bam” Carney (who represents Adair and Taylor County) remains
in the hospital due to pancreatitis, but doctors say he is making improvements.

after becoming ill following a family Christmas lunch. Since then, Carney has
undergone two surgeries. Carney has served in the legislature since 2009.
