Sally Kemp wants clarification on alcohol tax use

Sally Kemp writes:
Hopefully, I'm not the only one needing clarification. However, according to Shannon Sexton\'s comment regarding allocation of funds after collection and I quote "the original funds marked for those items will be freed up and will be at the disposal of our elected officials. Once the time comes, it's important we contact our elected officials and voice our opinions as to where the extra money will go." And the quote by Honorable Mayor Curtis Hardwick "It's a good idea but Kentucky law simply doesn't permit it. All the income from alcohol tax is restricted to designated areas, including law enforcement." I really need clarification. Is there extra funds after the original funds that can be allocated based on our elected officials' decisions or is that against KY law? (I understand this may be getting the cart before the horse, but it could be a decision maker for some who would welcome the tax relief!) - Sally Kemp
