Tax or no tax - the question of the week in Adair The talk this week has been around whether or not to examine a payroll tax to improve lives of Adair Countians. County Judge Executive Larry Russell Bryant has placed the issue on the table and challenged the Magistrates to give it their full consideration - or to provide options as to how to raise funds for the county government. He has researched all the surrounding counties as well as those in the state - Adair is one of only ten county governments in the state that does not have a payroll tax in place. 2023-03-10 10:01:53 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local Government

General Fund and Road Fund receipts for February 2023 From John Hicks/Greg Harkenrider Frankfort, KY - The Office of State Budget Director reported on Thursday, March 9, 2023, that February's General Fund receipts rose 11.4 percent compared to February of last year. Collections for the month were $1,078.1 million, the largest February receipt total on record. Receipts have now grown 6.4 percent in the first eight months of FY23. Among the major accounts, all had increases over last February except for the individual income tax, which had a small decline due to earlier tax refund processing. Sales tax receipts led the way with the largest increase. The official General Fund revenue estimate, which was revised upward by $1.4 billion, calls for 3.4 percent revenue growth in FY23.
