A way to recognize Home Health Nurses Thanks to Jeff Neagle with the Lake Cumberland District Health Department for finding an answer to a recent reader question about showing recognition for home health nurses. One appropriate venue could be The Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky's Healthy Kentucky Champions Award Program, which recognizes Kentuckians who are working to improve the health of their community and/or the commonwealth. The nomination form is here: healthy-ky.org/healthy-ky-champion-awards. There doesn't seem to be a specific home health nurse award yet. Jeff says, "The reader might want to suggest such a thing to the Kentucky Nurses Association."

Occupational Tax -- Who? What? Why? By Heather Bryant Spoon After reading Mr. Roberts' comments about the Proposed Occupational Tax, I think there are some misconceptions here about how this tax works and whom it will impact. So I thought it was important to point out the who, what, and why behind the Tax as people are weighing both sides of the situation. I also want to take the opportunity to point out the position of our County employees and their families when it comes to wage stagnation, as well as the County's ability to provide services to its citizens. What? An "occupational tax", by definition, is essentially a "payroll tax". People who WORK in Adair County, AND receive a W-2 from their employer, even if they don't live here, will also pay this tax. They are essentially paying a little to "work" here... to help maintain the roads and infrastructure that they use, to help pay for the services they use and depend on when they are earning money in Adair County. Likewise, when Adair County residents drive to work in Taylor, Russell, and Marion County, for example, they are giving a percentage of their paycheck to THOSE counties because they WORK in those counties.
