Key Republican says Bevin's pension relief bill doesn't have enough votes By Jack Brammer, Lexington Herald-Leader Gov.

The proposed cuts, on top of previous cuts of about $27 million, have WKU faculty "weary" of having to do more with less, according to the University Senate chairman.

New resource to aid state's workforce development efforts By Danielle Jones/Todd Piccirilli Frankfort, KY - Kentucky's workforce is ever-changing. By the year 2020, it is projected that 63 percent of Kentucky jobs will require some postsecondary education or advanced training to meet workforce demands. Currently, Kentucky is facing a shortage of highly skilled workers to fill the approximately 115,000 open jobs available in the Commonwealth. To help address Kentucky's workforce demands, KET and the Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Cabinet (EWDC) unveiled a new resource, In Demand, to aid the state's workforce development efforts and recruit Kentuckians into high-demand career sectors. In Demand is a collection of videos with an accompanying website that provide an overview of careers available in Kentucky's five high-demand sectors: advanced manufacturing, business & IT, construction, healthcare, and transportation & logistics. Individuals interested in learning more about how to pursue careers in high-demand sectors are referred to their local Kentucky Career Center for skills training and career placement services.

Carol Perkins: I blame the bed Previous column: Bless your heart By Carol Perkins Suspended in the air, flailing my arms, holding onto my CPAP mask and tube, I felt myself sliding off the mattress with no control. Kerplunk. I hit the floor, banging my head against the nightstand. What just happened? I was confused and disoriented. Had I just fallen out of the bed? No doubt about it; I was sitting on the floor between the bed and chair in the tiny cabin on our cruise ship in the middle of the Pacific. Where was Guy? Asleep in the twin bed only a few feet few from me. He didn't move and I didn't wake him. Never in all my years have I fallen out of a bed. In the darkness of the room, I sat quietly to regain my composure and wait for the beat of my heart to go back to normal.
