Letter: why I voted no on payroll tax

ACJE Larry Russell Bryant writes:
I'd like to share my thoughts with you regarding last week's proposal for an Occupational Tax vote. First of all, this meeting was supposed to be a "bills only" meeting, and both the tax and ABC Administrator pay should have never been brought up, much less voted on.

I voted, "no" because I don't think 0.25% is enough to get us out of the financial shape we are in due to years and years of cuts, closures, and losing trained people to other counties who are paying better wages than we can afford to pay. And, now those trained people are paying an occupational tax to the county they are driving to so they can work for a wage that they think is fair and makes life better for them and their families.

Strong to severe storms Tuesday afternoon, evening

From Mike Keltner, Emergency Management

Numerous showers and thunderstorms will move east across Kentucky today. There is a risk for severe storms this afternoon and evening, most notably across the southern half of central and eastern Kentucky.

Thunderstorms may produce damaging winds and heavy rainfall, but large hail and a tornado cannot be ruled out. Locally excessive rainfall could result in flooding, mainly near and just south of the Interstate 64 corridor from southern Indiana through the Bluegrass Region and much of eastern Kentucky.
