Bill Beard remembered on the Public Square in Columbia By Mitzi Bault I found a picture of one of Adair County's icons who was admired and loved by my family and so many around here. As reported in an newspaper clipping by my Uncle Ed, Bill Beard was always trying to pull a trick. Most kids were kind of scared of him. We were around him some coming to see my Daddy, Peanut McKinley. The only time Bill ever scared me was when I was trying to tell him something -- he was a great big tall man -- and he just picked me up! He said it hurt his back bending over to talk to me.

General fund and road fund receipts for Feb 2019 General Fund receipts rose 8.4 Percent. Road Fund receipts grew 11.5 Percent. By John E. Chilton/Greg Harkenrider Frankfort, KY - State Budget Director John Chilton reported today that General Fund receipts climbed 8.4 percent in February with revenues of $859.4 million. February's receipts compare favorably to the $793.0 million collected in February 2018. Through the first eight months of FY19, the General Fund has grown 3.2 percent. The official General Fund revenue estimate for FY19 calls for revenue to grow 3.3 percent compared to FY18 actual receipts. After February's results are considered, General Fund revenues must increase 3.5 percent for the remainder of the fiscal year to meet the official estimate. Following declines in General Fund receipts in December and January, Chilton was cautiously optimistic regarding the positive reversal of fortune in February. "The pattern for FY19 has been healthy growth in the sales tax and cigarette taxes due to the passage of HB 487 in 2018. February saw both taxes keeping pace as the sales tax grew 7.1 percent and cigarette taxes grew 72.2 percent.
