The latest report I've seen from the Labor Department (which is tasked with keeping track of such things) is that the nation's core inflation rate is relatively flat. It told us that consumer prices rose just 0.5 percent for the January-March quarter. This low rate bodes well for the consumer (were it true), despite our sputtering economy and lack of jobs for our millions of unemployed.

My name is Katy Smith and I am working on a fourth grade state project and I got Kentucky. I was dying to get Kentucky, the Bluegrass State, and I got it. I was so glad to get your state.

I would appreciate it if you could send me some small things from Kentucky, like postcards or pictures, a list of the horses that won the Kentucky Derby or where it's held (or anything from the Kentucky Derby, really) small souvenirs. Anything is great (but please nothing alive). Maybe you could send me this article.

The American Cancer Society works in Kentucky communities to save lives and create more birthdays by helping people stay and get well, by finding cures and by fighting back. The ACS staff, community partners and its legion of dedicated volunteers are all working together - with the ultimate goal of eliminating cancer as a major health problem.

The ACS signature fundraising event, Relay For Life, helps raise millions of much-needed dollars to make the organization's programs and services a reality.

E-911 and Rescue are two of the most important services provided by our tax money. Both are very well run as I know from having used both recently.

I'm very disappointed in James Jones and the other members of the Taylor Fiscal Court. They overspent on the jail and are now scrambling to pay for it.

The City has run both of these services for years and they are very good at it.

I like the Nelson County plan. Let the users of the services pay for them.
