Governor releases public records linked to Braidy Industries Kentucky Press News Service Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Friday released documents related to Kentucky's investment in Braidy Industries. The documents include a letter of intent regarding Kentucky's $15 million investment, stock purchase agreement, voting agreement and investors' rights agreement. The documents reveal the names of those invested in Braidy Industries. "In releasing these documents, we are showing Kentuckians that we are committed to transparency and open government," Beshear said in a news release. "Braidy Industries believes in transparency as well as in the privacy of its shareholders," said CEO and Chairman of Braidy Industries Craig Bouchard. "The state asked for the release of these documents and we were happy to support this request. The Commonwealth Seed Fund is a valued shareholder. Braidy strongly supports the governor, the bi-partisan leadership of the state of Kentucky, and all of its agencies." The previous administration refused to release the documents requested by The Courier-Journal despite an attorney general's open records decision and multiple court rulings* holding that they are public records, the news release said.

Letter: Girls buzzing with excitement over oil strike The view from the Pampered Angus Ranch Thought I'd comment on the new oil wells across from the Hunter Place section of the Pampered Angus Ranch. Well here goes. The girls are buzzing with excitement from all the extra activities of the last few days. It comes to mind a famous neighborhood lady who has a TINGLE when she is near oil. Maybe we need to get her out here to find it. Then the sinkhole dweller "Bud Mullins" might have some insight into this as well. I can be really bad and see if he will show up and give us some insight into his world and what might be flowing under.

Commonwealth issues new request for Medicaid Managed Care Previous contracts, issued by outgoing governor's administration, canceled amid public concern By Anya Armes Weber/Beth Fisher Frankfort, KY - In furtherance of the Beshear administration's mission of providing access to affordable health care to all Kentuckians, the Commonwealth of Kentucky is rebidding its Medicaid managed care contracts, beginning the process to select which health care companies can manage benefits for the state's Medicaid enrollees. According to officials with the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, where the Department for Medicaid Services is housed, a request for proposals was issued by the state Finance and Administration Cabinet today. Current contracts with Aetna (via Coventry Cares), Anthem Inc., Humana Inc. (via CareSource), Passport Health Plan, and Wellcare are set to expire on June 30. The action follows a decision by Governor Andy Beshear to cancel managed care contracts awarded by the outgoing governor's administration in early December.

Sen. Max Wise's Legislative Update - January 10, 2020 Personal political commentary/opinions of the writer By State Senator Max Wise, (R-Campbellsville) 16th District: Adair, Clinton, Cumberland, McCreary, Russell, Taylor, and Wayne Counties The first week of the 2020 Regular Session of the Kentucky General Assembly has come to a close. We had a productive week in Frankfort and left with confidence in what the session has in store. It was a pleasure to begin the session on Tuesday with a visit from the 100th Army Band from Fort Knox, who performed an extraordinary rendition of "My Old Kentucky Home" and our National Anthem. As with the early stages of any session of the General Assembly, some procedural measures were in order. The Senate Majority has listened to feedback from our constituents and have prioritized several pieces of legislation that are hopeful of passing this session. Those bills, among others, were assigned to their respective committees this week. Committee hearings begin next week and provide the public an opportunity to hear about the legislation. Crafting a budget will not be an easy task. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2020-01-10 14:48:48 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Politics

Public libraries break E-rate record with more than $2.1M By Kim Saylor Brannock Frankfort, KY - Kentucky public libraries set a new record for funding commitments from education rate (E-rate), a federal program that provides discounts on Internet, telecommunications, and networking equipment for schools and public libraries. For the July 2019 - June 2020 funding year, Kentucky public libraries have a record commitment of $2,195,532 in E-rate funding to be disbursed as they are invoiced for eligible products and services, marking a record amount since the program's inception in 1998. E-rate discounts provide critical budget relief to public libraries and allow them to spend local tax dollars on other services and programs in their communities. A library's E-rate funding amount is determined by the area's poverty level. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2020-01-10 08:28:35 | Comments | Printable version
Carol Perkins: Passenger seat peril Previous Column: Christmas at the Perkins' house By Carol Perkins After our radio show each Tuesday, Susan Chambers and I eat lunch together. Last Tuesday, we also had a mission to take inventory of our books at each location where they were sold. Susan offered to drive. Usually I drive, because the books are kept in the back of my SUV. There is also another reason. We began in Summer Shade at the Country Tyme Diner (wonderful food). On our way to Summer Shade, my good friend must like to hear the grating noise of the shoulder's warning ruts because we rode them often. A couple of times, I raised my left hip as if I were avoiding whatever might come at me. "Oops," she said. It is a good thing Susan is a slow driver; well, in some cases, it is good.

Kentucky Color: Remains of a Grey Ghost By Billy Joe Fudge President, Homeplace on Green River, Inc. There was a time when one in every five trees in the Eastern Hardwood Forest which stretches from Maine to Georgia, was American Chestnut. Then the infamous blight from the Orient made its way into New York Harbor around 1904. The American Chestnut had little to no resistance to this fungal disease and quickly began to succumb to its ravages. Year after year the largest trees East of the Mississippi were turned into Grey Ghosts, glowing in the moonlight like giant skeletons stripped of their bark and foliage and life itself. Year after year the blight spread its scourge North, West and South from New York. Slowly but surely it made its way to the Great Wooded South and by the 30s, it's death march carried it's infection across Harrod's Fork Creek and Independence Ridge to this 60 inch diameter American Chestnut standing sentry on top of a Greenbriar Ridge bluff, looking down on Casey Fork Creek.
