HB6 would change how motor vehicle taxes are calculated By Jordan Hensley, LRC Frankfort, KY -- Kentuckians may soon get a break on their motor vehicle taxes. The House Appropriations and Revenue approved House Bill 6 on Tuesday. The bill would require that property valuation administrators tax vehicle owners the same as they did 2021. "House Bill 6 follows concerns from my constituents regarding a letter that they received from the executive branch stating that their motor vehicle appraiser values would be increasing by 40% in 2022 compared to 2021," said Rep. Sal Santoro, R-Union, the primary sponsor of the bill. Beginning in 2023, HB 6 would require the average trade-in value to be used as the standard value of a motor vehicle for property tax purposes instead of the rough trade-in value or clean trade-in value.

Donation Requests from JOY for Ruth's House By Maggie Coleman JOY Ministries will finally be formally dedicating and opening our new shelter, Ruth's House, this month. This gives JOY a 4-apartment shelter for women and children with a counseling office and employee housing, in addition to the existing 1-room shelter, Callie's House, that opened in 2019. JOY has had such a wave of clients, that the organization could not get the house into its final stages since it was purchased in April. It had to immediately be put to use. Here are the immediate needs that JOY has for the house, along with some needs we will have regularly over the coming years to keep the shelter running.
Thanks! We are making a HUGE difference for these families! We are getting them jobs, into permanent homes, and helping people get off drugs. It is awesome to see! J.O.Y. Ministries is open 11-5 Monday through Thursday at 411 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY. 2022-02-08 12:42:47 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Church News
