Bob Barnes finds 100 Unclaimed Properties listed for Columbians

All we want, as Rusty Tungate used to say, is "Our Fair Share." The state treasurer says that approximatelly $150 million in unclaimed property is being held. Based on the population of Adair County, a pro-rata Fair Share would be approximately $700,000, a tidy sum to add to the local economy, if we got it back. For the 7-county region including Adair, Casey, Cumberland, Green, Metcalfe, Russell and Taylor Counties, KY, the fair share for the areas approximately 90,000 population would be $3,375,000! -CM

By Ed Waggener

This is a Big Story, we think, from Bob Barnes. He went online and found 100 unclaimed properties being held in the names of Columbians at the office of the Kentucky State Treasurer in Frankfort, KY, including one for a CM principal.
