General Fund and Road Fund Receipts for September 2019 General Fund receipts fell 1.2 percent, while Road Fund receipts rose 3.8 percent By John E. Chilton/Greg Harkenrider Frankfort, KY - State Budget Director John Chilton reported today that General Fund receipts fell 1.2 percent in September with revenues of $1,064.5 million. This compares to $1,077.3 million collected in September 2018. So far this fiscal year (FY20), General Fund receipts have grown 1.1 percent. September closes out the first quarter of the fiscal year and collections declined for the first time since the third quarter of FY17 when receipts fell 3.2 percent. For perspective, increases in collections have averaged 4.0 percent in the intervening nine quarters. The official General Fund revenue estimate for FY20 calls for revenue to grow 0.6 percent compared to FY19 actual receipts. Based on September's results, General Fund revenues must increase 0.5 percent for the remainder of the fiscal year to meet the official estimate. Chilton noted that a good month from the sales tax helped offset reductions in nearly every other major account.

Letter: P&Z/City Council Vote James Roberts writes: Linda, I think that the Columbia City Council and or Columbia Zoning Commission should be more concerned about the condition of the building structures that are dilapidated, unoccupied and taking up valuable business space on the Columbia square rather than make it hard or impossible for a legitimate business to operate and be a taxpaying asset to the community!Comments re: Columbia City Council meeting - October Report 2019-10-10 14:16:33 | Comments | Printable version

KOHS: Operation Crash Reduction runs October 11-14 Office of Highway Safety, law enforcement agencies partner with NHTSA to reduce crashes throughout Columbus Day By Erin Eggen/Naitore Djigbenou Frankfort, KY - The upcoming Columbus Day holiday provides a great opportunity for long weekend getaways -- and this means more cars on the road. This is why the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS), state and local law enforcement, and the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are teaming up for the inaugural Operation Crash Reduction effort with a focus on Delaware, the District of Columbia, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. Operation Crash Reduction runs from October 11 through October 14 with a goal of saving lives and preventing injuries due to traffic crashes. During this time, law enforcement will conduct a high-visibility enforcement campaign, with an emphasis on seat belt use. "While we always encourage safe driving practices, this specialized campaign focuses on the importance of buckling up," said KOHS Acting Executive Director Jason Siwula. "If you are involved in a crash, a properly-fastened seat belt provides the best defense against injury or death."

Carol Perkins: Hunting the Headhunters, part 2 Previous column: Hunting the Headhunters By Carol Perkins To continue the journey from last week of searching for the Kentucky Headhunters, both Fred Young and Greg Martin insisted we "interrupt" Richard's studio session. (They didn't say that word, but that is what I felt we would be doing.) We took their permission and headed for the studio on Water Street in Glasgow belonging to David Barrick. I made a few wrong turns until I found the street but had no idea in which building I would find Richard. At eight o'clock on a dark street that isn't much more than an alley, I wasn't sure on how many doors I wanted to knock or into windows I wanted to peek before finding him. I parked in front of a brick building (that looked abandoned except for the two vehicles in front) and while the girls waited and locked the doors, I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. I heard music, so I knew no one could hear me, and when I opened the door and Richard turned and saw me, he was more than puzzled and speechless! I quickly explained, "Richard, I have a carload of Texas women who want to meet you." He immediately replied, "I like Texas women," and followed me outside. As the women came out of the SUV, Richard said, "I bet y'all are school teachers." (I guess we have a look).

Letter: CDC advice on vaping Jessica writes: The CDC and fda have found it is black market THC cartridges causing the issue. They have even warned ppl not to use these cartridges. There is cyanide and vitamin E acetate in them. Normal vapes have vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol and flavouring. Which are food additives. There is also different percentages of nicotine you can get in them if you even want it. This getting old with the scare mongering against normal vapes. Every media outlet I've seen wants to conveniently omit the actual cause of this. I'm sorry, but every one of these reports rub me the wrong way b/c it's just demonizing normal vaping. And banning vapes aren't going to solve a problem when what's causing it is illegal to start with. --JessicaComments re article 106654 DPH More reported cases of severe lung injury from vaping Jessica, Thanks for writing. Those "black market THC" cartridges are notably hazardous, but the CDC currently says that "no single product or substance has been linked to all lung injury cases." The article you commented on specifically mentions "a man in his early thirties who reported vaping with nicotine, and no THC or synthetic cannabinoid." While they study the problem, the CDC isn't proposing a ban. Their advice is quite a bit more reasonable: "While this investigation is ongoing, CDC recommends that you consider refraining from using e-cigarette, or vaping, products, particularly those containing THC." The idea of "normal" vaping is problematic. Since vapes are so new, health care research will likely be playing catchup for decades. Sixty years ago, smoking cigarettes was completely "normal." It took a couple of generations for public awareness to catch up with health officials' growing knowledge of the nasty health problems that smoking was causing. The long-term effects of vaping simply can't be known yet. In the meantime, we think informed caution is good advice. --Pen 2019-10-10 08:59:25 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
