Letter: Pension monies were borrowed

Janet Wilkerson writes:
One thing that has not been shared. Several governors back, pension monies, paid by state employees, were taken out (borrowed) from the pension fund to balance the Kentucky budget and pay other expenses not pension-related. As a rule, borrowed money is to be paid back. The problem was not one created by Kentucky government employees. --Janet

KYTC granted another REAL ID extension

Extension allows continued use of current state driver's licenses for air travel until October 2020

By Naitore Djigbenou/Jordan Smith

Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) today announced that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has determined the Commonwealth is fully compliant with REAL ID Act regulations following the pilot launch of new driver's licenses, permits and IDs in Franklin and Woodford counties. This designation serves as the state's last necessary extension, and allows Kentuckians to use their current state driver's license and the new standard credential to board domestic flights and visit military bases until federal enforcement begins Oct. 1, 2020.

"Our regular check-ins with DHS gave us confidence compliant status would be granted as the state has made major strides by issuing new credentials in two pilot counties," said Department of Vehicle Regulation Commissioner Matt Henderson. "We continue to fine-tune the system before deploying to other counties so Kentuckians have a more seamless experience when it is time to renew. Gathering and updating needed documentation now is key for citizens to have a successful visit when applying for a new card."

A phased, county-by-county rollout will begin after the pilot period ends. Dates will be updated on the drive.ky.gov/confidentky website as the rollout approaches in each county.
