Clark: Child welfare transformation will improve the lives of KY children Commentary By Eric T. Clark Commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Community Based Services It is a staggering, record-high number in Kentucky: 10,000 kids in foster care. Here is another number: 800. That's how many adults gathered in early January for the inaugural Transformers of Child Welfare Summit. These were social workers, judges, educators, government officials, faith-based community leaders, parents, relatives and others. They are all committed to improve our child welfare system and the lives of Kentucky children. Summit participants heard from state and national experts, shared ideas, traded resources, and made plans to dig into the complex issues ingrained into our child welfare system, which includes foster care, adoption, relative caregiving, prevention services, and many other support services.

Comer passes on Kentucky governor's race By Phillip M. Bailey, Louisville Courier Journal U.S. Rep. James Comer has decided against running for Kentucky governor, but not before throwing some stiff jabs at Republican incumbent Matt Bevin. In a statement released late Sunday, Comer, who represents Western Kentucky, said he had "zero desire to run against a multimillionaire" for the GOP nomination. Comer had said for weeks that he would enter the race if Bevin decided not to seek re-election. But Bevin filed late Friday with a new running mate, state Sen. Ralph Alvarado, R-Winchester, ending months of speculation. Read the full article at courier-journal.com 2019-01-28 10:12:42 | Comments | Printable version

Beshear: Watch out for tax-time scammers By Terry Sebastian/Crystal Staley Frankfort, KY - As Kentuckians begin electronically filing their state and federal income taxes Jan. 28, Attorney General Andy Beshear is asking them to be prepared for an increase in scams calls. Beshear said tax season scams typically involve scammers pretending to be an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agent who claims they need to verify the victim's personal and financial information over the phone or claims that the victim owes back taxes.

Comment: pay checks should be stopped from top down By Linda Waggener Just my thoughts on the national news about the government shutdown relief for three weeks - I think it would be more right for the paychecks to be withheld from the top down next time our leaders use this option. In the business world, should any company/organization in this country get away with withholding paychecks from lower level workers for a month while commanding they come to work? The next leader to keep drawing his/her own pay and full benefits package - while pointing a finger of blame at someone else as a reason they can't do their work - should simply surrender his/her own paycheck and go without it until they negotiate a way to keep work going.

Remembering Pat Bell By Rollin Knifley There are two kinds of people we encounter in this life. There are those we meet and soon forget and those we meet that leave their fingerprints on our lives. Pat and Martha Bell left theirs on me, and my entire family. One of Pat's paintings hangs in Dad's house. We were heartbroken when Martha passed in 2012. I was deployed at the time and couldn't make it to the service, I think it bothered me more not being able to come home for the service than it did being in the part of the world I was in at the time. My mother thought the world of Pat and Martha, and their comfort when Mom passed meant a lot to Kevin, Chris and I.
