    Oldham County’s Fiscal Court did not approve the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan for Oldham County on Tuesday.

    As detailed in the meeting two weeks ago, the Fiscal Court can only approve, deny or amend the goals and objectives of the plan. The court has no authority to say anything about the actual plan itself.

  • Just do your very best

    There’s not a day that goes by I don’t think of something my Dad said.  My Dad instilled in my brother and sister and me the adage: “Just do your very best.”  Other ways of saying this for Dad were: “Focus on your maximum effort,” or “Give beyond what is required,” or “Everyone loves a person who does his very best.”  Because of Dad’s insistence I think all of us embrace doing our very best in everything we do.
