Daily News for Tuesday, January 26, 2021
Gov. Beshear: Kentucky's vaccine allocation increased By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - On Tuesday, Gov. Andy Beshear said he had a call today with the President's COVID-19 team where he learned the federal government will increase each state's supply of COVID-19 vaccines by 17%. "That is a great start," said Gov. Beshear. "The other thing they are doing is guaranteeing a minimum supply for three straight weeks. One of the tough things we've been dealing with is only knowing on a Tuesday what we would have the next week and not knowing what we would have in the weeks after." He also said two cases of the COVID-19 variant from the United Kingdom (UK) have been confirmed in the commonwealth. "Public health Commissioner Dr. Steven Stack is going to talk about this more tomorrow. The UK variant does spread more aggressively, but he'll take us through all the implications of having this strain here," said Gov. Beshear.

Letter: against taxers, untrusting of office holders Letter: against new taxes Brad Byington writes: I agree with what James said. But, I am so untrusting of anyone that's in public office. I don't believe anything we say makes any difference. If tonight's open meeting doesn't go as the board hopes for, what's to stop them from going into closed session and passing an emergency funding tax?Comments re: Taxes under consideration by Adair Fiscal Court 2021-01-26 14:22:21 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
Letter: who is in charge of county coffers? Cynthia Meyer writes: James Roberts has hit the nail on the head with his statement about raising taxes once again in Adair County. Who is it exactly that is responsible for overseeing the county coffers? Obviously, they are not doing the job they accepted to do. No one needs to be reminded about the hospital debacle, nor is anyone saying much about the two hundred THOUSAND + dollars that was grafted from the jail monies - which cannot be repaid.Comments re: Taxes under consideration by Adair Fiscal Court 2021-01-26 14:21:04 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

LCDHD: Patience required for vaccines LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 1/25/2021 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department Following the vaccination of school staff over the coming weeks, it is our present understanding the much of the state's weekly supply of vaccine will be diverted to regional, mass vaccination sites for the 70 and older population. These mass vaccination sites, as we understand it, will be provided via a state contract with Kroger, not through the local health departments. We spend a great deal of our time of late explaining to people why there is not enough vaccine available in our area for everyone who wants one to get one. Here is an article that helps to explain the answer: COVID-19 Vaccine, Patience is Needed.
