Moving to Kentucky: Cornhole By Donna Rieder I closed on my property on January 2, 2008, found a rental house just five miles away, and hauled the last of my belongings up, including my cats, on March 19th. That afternoon I was walking around the property, just checking things out, when a couple guys on 4-wheelers stopped by and introduced themselves as my nearest neighbors. They said they were having a cookout later that afternoon and invited me up. "We're going to play cornhole," they informed me. "Really," I said. It wasn't a question. My mind was racing. I came from Georgia, and I had watched Deliverance. I thought, maybe they're just teasing me...

Carol Perkins: The St. Jude House Previous Column: Mama's preacher By Carol Perkins We drove to Lake Wylie, South Carolina, last week to visit Guy's sister, Carolyn Berry. Carolyn moved from her home in Barren County six years ago. After the passing of her husband and her sons, her granddaughter Nicole urged her to move across the street from her home. She'd never lived anywhere but a farm, so having houses so close was totally new to her, but she adjusted quickly. The idea of no yard to mow, no trees to trim, and a new house sounds appealing, but moving would take the last breath out of me. "Where did all this stuff come from?" I ask.

KY General Fund and Road Fund receipts for August 2026 Frankfort, KY - State Budget Director John Hicks reported on Thursday, September 10, 2026, that General Fund receipts fell 1.7 percent in August compared to last year. Total revenues for the month were $1,088.6 million, compared to $1,107.7 million last August. So far this fiscal year, General Fund receipts have increased 13.8 percent. The official revenue estimate for FY27 calls for General Fund revenues to fall 0.5 percent compared to FY26 actual receipts. Based on Augusts' results, receipts can fall 2.8 percent for the remainder of the fiscal year and still meet the official estimate. Director Hicks remarked that "August is usually one of the lowest months of each fiscal year for General Fund revenues receipts. Through the first two months of FY27, sales and use taxes have risen 6.5 percent and major business taxes are more than $300 million higher than last year. Individual income tax collections declined by 10.1 percent due mainly to the 12.5 percent rate reduction effective January 1, 2026, from 4.0 percent to 3.5 percent. The Consensus Forecasting Group will meet later this month to revisit the FY27 and FY28 General Fund revenue estimates in light of the FY26 revenue surplus and the 13.8 percent growth thus far in FY27."
