We
have
enough

a
quorum.
We
want
to
welcome
you

military
affairs
and
public
protection,

A
Here
all
right
looks
like
we
do
have
a
quorum.
What
we're
going
to
do
next
is
we're
going
to
do
our
pledge,
but
after
the
pledge
please
stay,
standing
and
brother

will
lead
us
in
prayer.
So.
C
Heavenly
father,
we
thank
you
today,
god,
lord,
for
your
goodness
of
mercy.
Lord,
we
ask
you
for
direction,
god
and
your
guidance,
lord.
I
ask
you
to
just
touch
our
guests
and
those
that
are
watching
by
zoom
father.
We
ask
you,
god
to
just
help
us
to
understand
and
how
you
would
help
us
to
make
the
votes
today.
We
thank
you
so
much
god
for
your
guidance.
We
bless
our
chair
and
all
those
in
leadership.
A
All
right,
as
we
usually
do,
we
we
want
to
honor
a
distinguished
guest
this
morning
and
a
distinguished
veteran,
and
so
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
representative
goforth.
In
case
you
want
to
go
up
with
them
or
either
or.
G
G
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
committee
members.
Thank
you
very
much.
Today
we
are
honored
to
welcome
before
the
house
standing
committee
on
veterans,
military
affairs
and
public
protection.
Mr
william
ralph
bill
farmer
of
jackson,
county.
F
F
Bill
and
his
late
wife
of
44
years
gwendolyn
lived
in
ohio
for
many
years
where
they
raised
their
seven
children.
Bill
was
employed
by
armco
still
for
35
years
and
also
served
as
a
butler
county.
Ohio
deputy
sheriff
bill
guinlon
returned
home
to
kentucky
when
bill
retired
bill
has
lived
for
many
years
in
jackson,
county
where
he
has
become
well-known,
active
member
of
the
community
bill.
We
thank
you
for
your
service
on
the
behalf
on
behalf
of
a
grateful
nation
and
commonwealth,
and
we
salute
you
for
all
that.
F
You
have
done
through
your
life
and
if
you
want
to
talk
to
the
committee
a
little
bit
about
your
service
and
what
the
military
meant
to
you.
F
I
tell
him
all
the
time
he
bought
this
out
of
the
store.
That
was
a
hallmark
pre-printed
photo,
but
oh
yeah.
F
No
oldest
4-h
living
oldest
4-h
living
member
at
the
time
so
he's
pretty
excited.
D
You
take
a
local
placement
or
sheriff,
as
I
was,
and
everything
you
know
about
everybody,
but
the
guard
sticks
together.
They
don't
make
no
incessants
for
nobody.
You
violate
the
laws,
the
guards
are
they're
protected,
but
they
waited
to
all
this
happened
in
the
capitals.
We
all
know
poor
guards
had
to
come
and
lay
down
on
the
floor
no
place
to
sleep
for
no
nothing,
but
I
might
say
it
didn't
it
wouldn't
hammer
right,
but
I
won't
be
around,
but
I
hope
and
pray
it
never
happens
again.
D
D
A
I
I
think
it
would
be
fine
we're
going
to
be
hearing
some
bills,
so
maybe
people
can
glance
at
it
as
coast.
D
D
A
D
D
D
Read
it,
I
keep
a
lot
of
army
stuff
at
home.
It's
all
things
I
got,
you
know
different
things
and
places
I've
got
and
brown's
leader
of
kentucky
and
all
that
stuff-
and
I
don't
know
we-
I
didn't
bring
half
of
thinking
of
god,
but
I
thought
this
brain.
Let
people
know
that,
like
a
guy
said,
he
didn't
like
he
don't
like
no
veterans.
D
C
D
Ain't
gonna
say
I
don't
like
this
guy
because
he's
from
a
different
state
or
he's
he's
a
bad,
but
he
doesn't
matter
you
ain't
there
to
work
to
protect
america
and
our
allies.
That's
what
you're
there
for
you
can't
complain
around
that
he's.
A
baptist
he's
a
methodist
he's,
not
he's
a
jew
and
he's
needed
that
you
there
you
don't
ask
them
what
they
are.
You
don't
know
what
you're
there
for,
and
I
wish
more
people
would
look
at
that
way.
Now
too,.
D
We
all
americans,
and
we
should
do
one
thing
when
things
happen,
to
go
again,
our
our
belief
and
what
we
believe
in
we
know
I
ain't
supposed
to
talk
about
religion,
but
we
know
what
happened
and
when
foreigners
come
over
here
from
overseas
to
america
to
worship
the
lord,
where
they
could
worship
in
their
own
belief
and
now
there's
a
lot
of
people.
You
can
always
say:
well
you
you,
your
baby,
your
method,
you
did
your
cathy
and
everything,
we're
all
americans.
A
Mr,
mr
farmer,
I'm
we
we're
kind
of
short
on
time
a
little
bit.
We
we
want
you
to
be
honored
and
I
think
representative
goforth
has
a
couple
things
for
you
and
in
a
sec,
if
you
could,
if
you
wanted
to
step
around
here,
I
think
representative
duplessis
can
take
a
picture
of
y'all
too.
So.
D
A
Around
and
let's
get
a
picture
of
you
and
he
has
something
something
to
present
you
with.
D
A
Thank
you
for
your
service,
mr
farmer.
We
we
really
appreciate
you
being
here
and
sorry.
We
just
we're
on
a
kind
of
a
short
time
window
there.
So
we
appreciate
you
serving
for
so
many
years
and
and.
A
Yes,
sir,
well,
we
I
I
have
a
feeling
we
could
probably
sit
around
and
listen
to
hours
for
some
of
your
neat
stories
over
the
years.
It
sounds
like
you've
had
a
a
long,
exciting
life
there,
but
unfortunately
we
only
have
about
30
40
minutes
so.
A
Well,
yes,
sir
alrighty,
for
the
two
out
there
I
think
john
blanton
and
alan
gentry.
If
y'all
could
turn
on
your
mics
and
just
state
where
you
are
just
for
the
records.
Please
alan
go
ahead.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
we'll
be
able
to
record
your
votes,
guys
alrighty
we're
going
to
move
to
the
very
first
item.
We
have
hb
206
by
representative
scott
sharp
one
of
our
own
here
and
if
you
want
to
come
down-
and
please,
if
you
don't
mind,
introduce
your
guest,
I
think
you
might
you
have
one
in
person.
I
think
maybe
someone
in
cyber
world
there
too.
H
Yes,
sir,
thank
you,
mr
chair
committee,
members.
First
guest
I'd
like
to
introduce
is
the
one
we
got
zoomed
in
in
cyber
world
on
us,
and
that
is
brigadier
general
benjamin
adams.
He
is
the
executive
director
of
the
kentucky
department
of
military
affairs
and
to
my
left
here.
I
have
major
jeremy
harper,
who
we
saw
last
week,
but
just
to
refresh
everybody's
memory.
He
is
the
legislative
chairman
of
the
national
guard
association
of
kentucky
and
welcome
both
of
you,
gentlemen.
Here
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
house
bill
206.
H
What
this
is
is
it's
increasing.
The
national
guard
allotment
for
for
soldiers
and
airmen
that
will
be
that
adopt
is
what
it
will
do.
Is
it
will
bring
up
their
cost
reimbursement
to
the
level
of
other
state
employees,
and
with
that
I
believe.
A
All
right
someone's
taught
you
well
to
stop
talking
there.
You
got
a
motion
in
a
second
at
this
time,
and
I
know
you
have
some
guests
out
there.
I
I
hate
to
sit
there
and
cut
general
adams
off
and
your
guess,
but
do
they
have
anything
that
they'd
like
to
add
or
general.
H
Items
you,
okay,
general
adams,
yeah,
mr
chairman,
thank
you
very
much
and,
and
certainly
representative
sharp
thank
you
again
for
sponsoring
this
bill
again
on
behalf
of
the
kentucky
national
guard
families
and
all
the
children
that
are
in
need
of
adoption.
H
A
A
Thank
you
major.
Well,
I
tell
you
what
we'll
open
up
the
floor.
If
anyone
has
any
questions,
though
this
bill,
we
did
see
last
year
so
and
I
think
it
made
it
through
the
house
and
probably
got
stalled
a
little
bit
over
in
the
senate,
any
questions
all
right.
Seeing
none
we'll
go
ahead
and,
madam
secretary,
please
call
roll.
H
H
C
C
C
I'd
like
to
register
a
yes
vote
in
honor
of
former
representative
dean
schmore,
who
carried
this
bill
last
year
and
is
a
navy
veteran
himself.
Thank
you.
C
C
A
C
H
A
Yes,
well,
this
bill
votes
unanimously,
normally
we'd
love
to
put
it
on
consent,
but
we
don't
have
that
this
year,
so
we
will
look
forward
to
hearing
it
on
the
floor.
This
is
one
of
those
bills.
We
don't
mind
hearing
on
the
floor,
so
thank
you
all
for
your
service
and
appreciate
you
presenting
this
all
righty
we're
moving
right
along.
We
have
house
bill,
277,
representative
wesley.
If
you
want
to
head
down-
and
please
do
the
same-
if
you
have
any
guests
out
there
or
with
you,
please
introduce
them.
I
I
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
representative
wesley
from
district
91.
I
do
have
a
couple
guests
I
would
like
to
introduce,
which
is
steven
general
general
stephen,
billard
and
matthew
cole,
and
I
would
like
to
invite
them
in
on
this
if,
if
they
would
wish
to,
if
that's
all
right,
mr
chair,
this
is
this
bill
is
about
an
operator's
license
for
our
veterans.
I
This
bill
will
allow
all
of
our
military
personnel,
that
is
on
active
duty
that
is
assigned
and
stationed
in
the
state
of
kentucky
this
license,
or
this
this
law
would
allow
them
to
keep
their
driver's
license
from
other
states
wherever
they're.
From
that
way,
they
don't
have
to
have
a
valid
driver's
license
from
kentucky
motion
on
the
bill.
A
We've
got
a
lot
of
action
over
in
this
corner
here
they
must
have
a
12
o'clock
meeting
or
something
all
right.
We
do
have
a
motion
in
a
second
there.
Again
we
have
another
general
out
there
in
cyber
world.
I
I
don't
want
to.
You
know
not
give
them
an
opportunity,
general
bullard.
Is
there
anything
you
need
to
add
or
add
or
anything
or.
H
Oh
no,
thank
you
I'll
just
say
I
was
when
department
of
defense
brought
this
up,
and
43
states
have
already
passed
this
and
we
we
had
not
passed
it
yet,
just
because
it
was
an
oversight,
then
the
department
of
transportation,
the
secretary
of
transportation
and
the
governor's
office
immediately
said.
Yes,
we
need
to
do
this
and
same
with
the
general
assembly
and
yourself
and
thank
you
representative
wesley.
Thank
you
to
everyone.
A
Thank
you,
sir
appreciate
you
being
here.
Do
we
have
any
questions
for
any
of
the
speakers
there,
representative
duplissi?
Thank
you.
I
do
support
this
bill.
C
A
Officers
that
move
around
maybe
don't
feel
like
they're
part
of
the
community.
Because
representative
duplicity,
I
tell
you
what
your
comments
are
important
enough.
They
need
to
make
the
record.
Would
you
mind
sitting
next
to
representative
wesleyan,
just
turn
that
mic
on,
because
I'm
not
sure
the
general
and
everyone
else
can.
But
we
do
need
that
in
the
record,
and
I
think
they
are
important
enough
that
we
need
to
have
that
so.
J
I
didn't
really
mean
to
to
do
that,
but
I
was
just
saying
that
I
think
is
a
is
a
representative
who
represents
a
lot
of
folks
near
fort
knox,
who
are
transient.
They
come
and
go
every
two
to
three
years.
J
They
they
oftentimes,
don't
get
their
licenses
renewed,
they
might
have
a
texas
license,
or
even
I've,
seen
alaska
and
hawaii
licenses.
A
friend
of
mine
who
was
in
my
boy
scout
troop,
his
his
dad
was,
or
one
of
the
dads
that
was
helping
me
had
a
hawaii
driver's
license,
because
it's
just
too
much.
They
don't
pay
the
taxes
to
have
to
renew
their
license.
Kentucky's
taxes
are
really
expensive
and
that
disenfranchises
them
for
local
elections.
J
Maybe
they
can
get
their
licenses
for
no
costs
to
take.
Take
that
off,
because
I
understand
not
wanting
to
pay
those
fees
every
time
and
you
know,
let's,
let's
make
it
to
where
it's
easier
for
them
to
vote
in
the
districts
in
which
they
reside
and
I'm
afraid
that
this
bill
further
and
disincentivizes
to
change
that.
So
I'd
really
like
some
thought-
and
I
saw
you
line
your
head-
there-
general
I'd
I'd
like
us
to
think
about
how
we
could
do
that.
A
Is
that
any
thing
that
any
one
of
y'all
would
like
to
respond
to,
or
is
that
just
more
noted
or
how
would
you
like
to.
K
I
would
like
to
say
something
to
my,
mr
chairman.
Yes,
sir,
just
one
thing
we
wanted
to
make
sure
everyone
knew
is.
This
is
optional.
If
any
of
the
service
members
want
to
get
a
kentucky,
license,
they're
not
restricted
from
getting
it.
So
there
can
be
a
very
broad
spectrum
of
thought
on
this.
K
Some
people
do
want
to
assimilate
into
the
community
and
they
would
be
more
than
welcome
to
get
a
driver's
license
or
id
card
here,
but
there's
plenty
that
want
to
maintain
their
domicile
at
home
and,
as
we
know,
domicile
is
always
where
they
intend
to
go
after
they
can
conclude
their
business,
so
they
they
still
pay
taxes
in
their
in
their
home
state.
They
still
want
to
vote
in
their
in
their
home
state
elections.
This
merely
gives
them
the
choice
and
does
not
force
them
to
go
in
the
either
direction.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
I
think
representative
dossett
had
a
question.
G
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and,
on
that
point
from
representative
duplicity,
of
course,
myself
and
you
being
there
living
in
christian
county
with
fort
campbell
being
there
beside
us.
There
is
a
reason
why
those
military
personnel
don't
tend
to
want
to
change
their
home
residents.
It's
because
of
the
tax
base
structure
within
their
home
states,
which
I
think
is
an
important
reason.
Kentucky
needs
to
move
and
tour
tax
reform,
move
away
from
the
income
tax
and
go
to
a
consumption-based
tax.
A
West,
we.
I
Have
over
26
000
stationed
there
in
christian
county
the
way
I
understand
and
80
percent
lives
in
tennessee
and
the
reason
being,
because
tennessee
offers
more
benefits
towards
their
troops
and
their
soldiers,
and
so
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
is
come
up
with
more
benefits
that
we
can
that
that's
a
lot
of
revenue
coming
back
in
not
to
mention
that
we're
helping
our
veterans
out
in
our
military,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
add
that,
but
also
to
mr
bullard
that
he
has
been
such
an
asset
to
this
this
bill.
I
L
Thanks,
mr
chairman,
this
is
more
of
a
comment,
so
I
lived
in
several
different
states
in
my
time
in
the
marine
corps
and
the
one
thing
that
was
consistent
through
it
all
was
my
kentucky
driver's
license
and
my
kentucky
license
plate
and
I
was
proud-
and
I
was
quite
happy
and
I
wanted
to
vote
in
my
local
elections,
which
for
me
were
back
in
bourbon,
county
kentucky
and
and
we
we
need
to
respect
that
for
all
these
men
and
women
that
are
out
there
serving.
And
yes,
yes,
absolutely
one.
L
We
want
them
to
come
here,
and
I
understand
your
point
representing
representative
duplicity.
I
understand
your
point.
I
want
to
make
them
part
of
the
community
and
being
part
of
that,
but
a
lot
of
them
have
never
lost
their
ties
with
home
and
I
think
that's
one
thing
we
need
to
be
respectful
of
is
as
we
you
know,
look
at
this
and
investigate
this
issue.
C
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
to
the
points
raised
by
representative,
duplessi
and
representative
cook.
I'm
so
glad
that
you
said
what
you
did
about
the
importance
of
your
kentucky
identity.
While
you
were
on
active
duty,
I
I
think
that
this
is
a
great
bill
and
I'm
going
to
vote
yes
on
it
today,
but
I
think
the
points
that
have
been
made
speak
to
the
larger
issue.
The
larger
issue
is
not
that
we
don't
pass
this
bill.
E
We
need
to
pass
this
bill,
but
we
also
need
to
go
back
and
revisit
that
voter
id
law
that
we
passed
last
year,
because
people,
if
they
have
a
valid
driver's
license
in
a
state
in
any
of
the
50
states,
should
be
allowed
to
use
it
in
order
to
vote.
If
people
want
to
be
part
of
the
community
in
which
they
live.
At
that
moment,
they
should
be
able
to
do
that.
E
Our
military
personnel
should
be
able
to
do
that
and,
if,
like
representative
cook
their
identity
as
someone
in
bourbon
county,
you
want
to
vote
in
your
local
election.
They
should
be
able
to
do
that.
So
we
need
to
go
back
and
revisit
a
photo.
Id
should
be
valid
if
it's
valid
in
any
of
the
50
states.
I'd
like
to
see
that
revisited
and
I'd
like
to
move
forward
on
this
bill
today,.
C

H
I
C
A
Well,
this
bill
passes
with
favorable
recommendation
and
should
do
on
the
floor.
So
thank
you,
sir,
for
your
testimony.
That
concludes
our
bills,
but
wait
hold
on
don't
leave.
I
oh,
are
you.
I
know
I'm
I'm
late
for
local
over
on
the
table
there
and
I
will
bring
it
back
next
week.
We'll
wait.
A
I
put
a
couple
challenge
coins,
a
draft
of
them
and
the
cost
of
a
many
of
you
all
have
expressed
having
some
challenge
coins
for
your
local
community
they're
running
four
dollars
each
if
we
can
get
to
about
a
hundred,
so
I'm
hoping
maybe
ten
of
us
order
about
ten,
a
piece
and
that
will
get
us
there.
So
there
is
something
I
put
your
name
all
the
list
of
all
everyone's
names.
