Breaking news: KY House votes to override Bevin's vetoes . . . . . . of tax, budget and local pension funding bills From Kentucky Press News Service Kentucky House votes to override Bevin’s vetoes of tax, budget and local pension funding bills UPDATED SUMMARY: The Kentucky House voted Friday to override Gov. Matt Bevin's veto of the legislature's tax bill, state budget bill and local pension funding bill, sending the legislation to the Senate for that chamber's consideration. Republican lawmakers said the tax-bill override was necessary to pay for additional education spending they put into the two-year state budget bill. Democratic lawmakers said they supported the school spending but protested the secretive way the tax plan was created and the way it raises additional revenue. The House voted 57 to 40 to override the tax-bill veto, 66 to 28 to override the budget veto and 94-2 to override House Bill 362, which allows a phase-in of pension cost increases for local governments.See original story: Kentucky lawmakers overriding Bevin’s vetoes of tax, budget and local pension bills By John Cheves, Daniel Desrochers and Jack Brammer April 13, 2018 12:48 PM ET on www.kentucky.com 2018-04-13 16:41:54 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Obituaries

Click on headline for concise omnibus of our moments in time By Mike Watson, Adair County historian Text of remarks delivered to the Columbia/Adair Chamber of Commerce, 10 Apr 2018 This was an untamed wilderness, by our standards, two hundred and twenty-nine years ago when the first settlements were made here in what is now Adair County. Stout, fearless woodsmen and women made their way her under the direction of Col. William Casey and carved out a new life in this Eden of the West. One mile from this spot a stockade or station was erected and inhabited by a Methodist minister, Rev. John Tucker, and his family, along with a handful of others. Rev. and Mrs. Tucker met untimely deaths at the hands of those who did not wish them here. That didn't deter the settlers, it alarmed them for a time, but the flow was not stemmed.
