Photo credit: Finance Cabinet, Creative Services.) Dear State Employees, On Feb. 1, I delivered the State of the Commonwealth address to the three branches of government and to families across Kentucky. This is a new year and we have a new opportunity. We are all Kentuckians and we all want Kentucky to flourish and prosper. As we enter a new year, we are at a crossroad. One way is the timid status quo, with a budget that bridles our future. The other way is a courageous course that unbridles opportunity and prosperity. But to forge that path we must pass tax modernization. On Feb. 1, I presented two options to state legislators. The budget I presented is based on our current tax code, a system rooted in an economy nearly 100 years old. This is not the path I prefer, but it is the path we are destined to take unless we reform our tax code. While this budget will allow us to continue government services, it is certainly not the vibrant vision we share for Kentucky. I believe the only responsible way to build a brighter future is to bring our outdated tax system into the 21st Century. Our existing tax code doesn't attract or keep our young talent in Kentucky. It is unreliable, unfair, and in some parts unconstitutional. For all these reasons and more, my JOBS For Kentucky tax modernization plan is desperately needed in the Commonwealth. My JOBS For Kentucky plan will cut income tax rates on virtually all working Kentuckians, attract high-quality businesses and bring more stability to the budgeting process. Most importantly, my plan will BRING JOBS TO KENTUCKY - more than 10,000 additional jobs by its first full year of implementation. That's 3,000 more jobs than last year's plan because we reduce the income tax levels. This plan will lower the individual income tax rate by nine percent, and 99 percent of working Kentuckians will have more take home pay. We will attract more people to Kentucky by lowering our income tax rate. In fact, lowering the income tax rate is the single most important thing we can do to create opportunity. My plan removes 211,000 filers, representing 485,000 Kentucky family members from the tax rolls altogether. We tax the poor more than any state. It is time to stop. Raising the cigarette tax is also a matter of fairness and sound public policy. A tax on cigarettes is purely voluntary. If you don't buy cigarettes, you don't pay the tax. Kentucky has the highest incidence of smoking in the country. Nationally we rank first in deaths from cancer and fourth from heart disease. It is undeniable that smoking contributes to increased health insurance and Medicaid costs. Raising the cigarette tax will send a healthier message to our children. JOBS For Kentucky includes incentives to help promote education and economic growth. I'm proposing a tuition tax credit of up to $500 for each student going to Kentucky colleges and universities. I have also included: a Kentucky enterprise initiative to give tax credits for hard construction and research and development costs, an equine breeder incentive development program to grow our equine industry and keep Kentucky the Horse Capital of the World. I remain optimistic that legislators will pass a budget with the bridge supplied by tax modernization. It is a better path that allows us to invest more for today and build more for tomorrow. I am hopeful about our future because I know our people are good, our hope is unwavering, our faith is unshakable and our spirit is unbridled. Sincerely, Governor Ernie Fletcher From The Secretary By Erwin Roberts, Personnel Cabinet Secretary (Note: A photo of Secretary Roberts is with this article.) In his recent State of the Commonwealth Address, Governor Ernie Fletcher told the three branches of government and families across Kentucky that his administration has implemented many cost-saving ideas, some of which came from state employees themselves, to save millions of dollars and to fulfill our promise to operate government more efficiently. The ideas Governor Fletcher mentioned are ideas which were submitted through the Employee Suggestion System (ESS), an incentive program implemented in 1981 to encourage merit employees to share their ideas merit on improving the productivity and services we offer. Employees who suggest implemented ideas receive an award for that idea. Recently, the Personnel Cabinet launched an online version of the ESS, allowing employees to submit their suggestions electronically. Since its launch on Jan. 28, more than 230 suggestions have been submitted through this system. To put that into perspective, in all of 2004, we received 323 suggestions. Of those, 28 employees were awarded for their implemented suggestions suggestions which resulted in more than $760,000 in first-year savings for the Commonwealth. With the great start weve had, we hope to greatly exceed that number this year, meaning more efficiency in state government and more rewards for employees whose ideas are chosen. Receiving input from employees is crucial in making a more efficient and effective workplace. Who knows an agency or office better than the employees who work there on a daily basis? I would like to encourage each and every merit employee to submit their ideas through our new system. With your help, we can continue to ensure that the taxpayer dollars used to run state government are spent in the most efficient and effective way possible. Q&A: Personnel Cabinet Deputy Secretary Bob Wilson (Note: A photo of Deputy Secretary Wilson is with this article.) As a young man and union employee in a New Jersey factory, Bob Wilson developed a life-long interest in human resources. Last September, Governor Ernie Fletcher appointed Wilson to serve as second in command in human resources for state government, where he is deputy secretary of the Personnel Cabinet. As he followed his interest during the intervening years, between work in that New Jersey factory and his current appointment, Wilson has gained not only an education, but extensive and varied experience in his chosen field. Wilson has a bachelors degree from Rutgers University in New Jersey. His background in human resources includes employment in the private sector and service as the University of Kentuckys director of human resources. He also operated his own consulting business for three years before joining state government. Prior to his appointment to the Personnel Cabinet, he was appointed director of personnel for the Commerce Cabinet. A native of New Jersey, Wilson came to Kentucky in 1988 to work for Island Creek Coal Company, a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum. Wilson and his wife of 31 years, Mary, live in Nicholasville. They are the parents of eight children, whose ages range from 10 to 30. Wilson grew up as an only child who wanted a large family, but his wife is from a family of seven children. The Wilsons are also new grandparents. Their first grandchild, Benjamin, was born on Jan. 21. Question: Where were you born and what was your family life like growing up? Answer: I was born in Vineland, New Jersey. I had a stepfather who was in the Navy, so there was a time when we moved a lot because of his assignments. I was an only child and always wanted brothers and sisters. New Jersey is where we lived for the longest period of time and where I graduated from high school. Thats also where my grandparents lived and I lived with them for a time. My grandfather and I enjoyed salt-water fishing in the Delaware Bay. Question: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? Answer: I wanted to be a professional football player. I played football and baseball in high school and college, and I wrestled for a year in high school. Question: What are your interests and hobbies? Answer: I enjoy fishing and golf but I dont have much time for either one. Im usually doing something with my kids. I coach freshmen girls basketball at Lexington Catholic High School. My wife and I also like to travel when we get a chance. In my consulting business, I did a lot of consulting in the Middle East and we enjoyed the travel there. We look forward to doing more traveling when all of the children are grown. Question: How does working in state government compare to working in the private sector? Answer: What would simply be policy in the private sector is embedded in the regulations in state government, so theres less flexibility. If you fail to follow a policy in the private sector, you havent broken a law, like you have in state government. Its also like working in a fish bowl, with everything open to public record. Question: What do you like best about working in the Personnel Cabinet? Answer: There are a lot of good, hard-working people here. I think weve assembled a good team and have a lot of opportunities to have a big impact, opportunities to help the state move forward. Question: In the future, how would you like to be remembered for your work? Answer: I would like for people to look back and say I was a good team player and that I tried to do things in the best interest of the people of Kentucky. I also want them to say I was able to make work fun. Tax advice: State employees urged to file electronically Kentuckys Department of Revenue, an agency of the Finance and Administration Cabinet, encourages state employees to electronically file their individual income tax returns this year. E-filing results in reduced tax preparation time, more accurate returns, acknowledgement of the receipt of your return and faster refunds. Taxpayers who use e-file along with direct deposit may receive refunds in fewer than 14 business days. Many Kentucky taxpayers can file their taxes online at no cost, thanks to an alliance between Kentuckys Department of Revenue, IRS (the Internal Revenue Service) and the tax software industry. Through a public-private partnership called the Free File Alliance, LLC, taxpayers now have access to free, online tax preparation and electronic filing services via the Internet. Each of the seven participating software companies sets its own eligibility requirements. Find out if you are eligible for this free service by going online to  HYPERLINK "www.revenue.ky.gov%20" www.revenue.ky.gov and clicking on the Free File Alliance-E-File logo. Eligible taxpayers can then click on the logo of the software company for which they are qualified for free electronic filing and go directly to a Web site created, maintained and owned by a private software company. Electronic filing instructions will be provided. The taxpayer must access the software provider's Web site through the Department of Revenue's Web site to qualify for free electronic filing. If the software provider's Web site is directly accessed, there will be a charge for filing the return. An added feature this year is Direct Debit, which allows taxpayers who owe taxes to schedule a payment to be debited from their bank account. The date of the debit can be selected up to and including April 15. Taxpayers who do not qualify for Free File Alliance may still electronically file by using approved software or by visiting a tax professional. Important note to state employees: Box 18, Local wages, tips, etc, has been left blank on your state W-2. Some software packages will not allow you to complete your return electronically without entering an amount for Local Wages. You may enter the amount in Box 5, Medicare wages, and tips, to complete your return. Invest for retirement, lower taxes One of the Commonwealths premier employee benefits is administered by the Kentucky Public Employees Deferred Compensation Authority. This program offers tax-sheltered supplemental retirement plans that allow employees to save tax-deferred dollars through payroll reduction. This means the employee pays no federal or state taxes on the portion of his or her income that is invested and no federal or state taxes are paid on the investments or earnings until they are paid out to the employee. For more information on the variety of investment options offered, visit the Authoritys Web site at  HYPERLINK "www.kentuckydcp.com" www.kentuckydcp.com, or call 800-542-2667 (573-7925 in Frankfort).

Local Farmers Stock Parks Kitchens (A Parks Best Kept Secrets column) State resort park chefs will buy fresh produce directly from local under a new program announced last August by Governor Ernie Fletcher. With the approach of this year's growing season, Bob Perry, the department's director of food services for the 17 resort parks, three Frankfort cafeterias, and the Artisan Center Cafe in Berea, is spreading the word to farmers about the produce program. He and Matt Ernst of the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service have appeared in a number of informational sessions sponsored by the service. Perry said he can already see momentum building for greater participation by farmers in 2005. As more farmers find out about the program, they can plant with the park systems needs in mind. Weve even had farmers come up to us at with seed catalogues and ask what variety of potatoes we would like for them to plant, he said. Using techniques explained during the sessions, farmers can extend their growing seasons from March through November, and Perry said the parks welcome fresh produce any time they can get it. Through the program, a farmer deals directly with a resort parks chef. The program is a plus for the local farm economy, the park chefs and parks dining room patrons. Perry said the chefs love to be able to use locally grown fruits and vegetables to build unique menus. The local produce program is am important step in offering dishes that are unique to an area.

Psychologist of the Year Dr. Owen Nichols, clinical director and associate executive director of Western State Hospital in Hopkinsville, was named Psychologist of the Year by the Kentucky Psychological Association. He was named during the group's annual convention in November in Louisville. Nichols was recognized for his efforts to promote and expand the practice of psychology in the Commonwealth. His contributions to the field of mental health began after he completed his predoctoral internship at WSH in 1988, when he began an initiative to develop a local predoctoral training consortium to recruit psychologists to rural western Kentucky. The Western Kentucky Predoctoral Psychology Internship Consortium is now in its 11th year and was used as a model for a consortium in eastern Kentucky. Students Learn About Diversity in Culture and Careers Governor Ernie Fletcher welcomed hundreds of middle and high-school students from across the state to Frankfort on Feb. 16 to celebrate the 2005 Governors Diversity Day at the Frankfort Convention Center.

Governor Fletcher spoke to students about the importance of education in building a prosperous future. A solid education is an essential key to the gateway of opportunity, said Governor Fletcher. I encourage students to embrace the challenges before them as they maneuver the path toward their future career goals. I am committed to ensuring that our bright young people stay in the Commonwealth to live, work and raise families by providing more opportunities for them.

Warning: Dont Bite the Phish Whether you use a computer at work or at home, theres a growing trend in the world of SPAM that you should be concerned about. Its called phishing, and it can have devastating effects. Phishing messages are e-mails that falsely claim to be from an established legitimate enterprise, such as a bank or credit card company, that try to scam recipients into providing private information that will be used for identity theft. The Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) found 9,019 new and unique phishing e-mail messages in December 2004, nearly four times the number reported in August and a 24 percent increase from November. APWG is an industry association focused on eliminating the identity theft and fraud that result from the growing problem of phishing and e-mail spoofing. What do phishing e-mails look like? APWG reports show recent subject lines include: Paypal - Unauthorized Access Microsoft Network customer data verification Huntington Bank - Huntington - Urgent Security Notification Amazon.com - Account Verification Notice Be suspicious of any e-mail with urgent requests for personal financial information. Legitimate businesses usually do not ask for sensitive information via e-mail. If you are concerned about your account, contact the business by telephone using a number you know to be genuine. Never e-mail personal or financial information unless encryption is used. Review credit card and bank statements as soon as you receive them to determine if there are any unauthorized charges. Use anti-virus software and keep it current. Keep your browser updated and apply any security patches. Some phishing e-mails contain software that can harm your computer or track your activities on the Internet without your knowledge. Anti-virus software and a personal firewall can protect you from inadvertently accepting such unwanted files. Report any suspected phishing scam to the Commonwealth Office of Technology, an agency of the Finance Cabinet with a Security Incident Reporting Form. Suspicious activity can also be reported to the Federal Trade Commission at spam@uce.gov. If you believe youve been scammed, file your complaint at www.ftc.gov, and then visit the FTCs Identity Theft Web site at www.consumer.gov/idtheft to learn how to minimize your risk of damage from ID theft.

KEAP Informed: Coping With an Anxiety Disorder Kentucky Employee Assistance Program About 19 million Americans, or seven percent of us, are affected by anxiety, an impairment that can range from mild to severe. The following information from the National Institute for Mental Health explains the five major Anxiety Disorders. 1. Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). This disorder is about excessive worrying. Worrying that just wont go away, causing tension headaches or inability to sleep; always having a sense of dread. 2. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). These are disturbing thoughts or images are called obsessions, and the rituals that are performed to prevent or relieve them are called compulsions. The compulsions only give temporary relief from the anxiety. 3. Panic Disorder is most often characterized by the presence of panic attacks, which are feelings and symptoms such as a pounding heart, chest pain, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, numbness and fear of dying. Panic attacks happen fast, appear out of the blue and take place over and over again. There is usually no physical cause for these attacks. 4. Phobias are deep-seated fears that are extreme, irrational and upsetting to a persons life. A person may experience a phobia to a specific object or situation that isnt usually harmful such as a fear of confined spaces, a fear of heights, a fear of being watched, embarrassed or humiliated while doing something in public, or a fear of being in a crowd. 5. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is the long-term, severe and continuing reaction a person may experience following a disaster (such as a fire or earthquake) or a very traumatic experience (war, rape, or sexual abuse). PTSD often occurs in people after they have experienced or witnessed one or more acts of violence. Symptoms include nightmares, loss of sleep, and flashbacks. PTSD interferes with concentration and the ability to enjoy life. If you are concerned that your or a dependent may be experiencing one or more of these types of anxiety, you may call the Kentucky Employee Assistance Program for an assessment and referral for care. The toll-free number is 800-445-5327.

A Second Chance To Rename Communiqu Remember the contest to rename Communiqu? To refresh your memory, the contest was announced in the June 2004 issue of Communiqu, but the search for a new state brand altered the plans for renaming the newsletter. As was announced in the October issue, it was decided that Communiqus new name should be tied to the new brand, which was yet to be selected at the time. That meant the contest must be temporarily postponed until after the new brand was chosen. Kentucky Unbridled Spirit has now been selected as Kentuckys new state brand. With that in mind, what should Communiqus new name be? If you submitted a name before the contest was altered, thank you. More than 100 suggestions were received and will continue to be considered in choosing a new name, but please take this opportunity to submit additional suggestions related to the brand. If you didnt previously enter the contest, you now have a second chance. Send your suggestions to Jodi George in the Personnel Cabinet at  HYPERLINK "JodiA.George@ky.gov" JodiA.George@ky.gov. If your suggestion is chosen, youll receive a weekend at a Kentucky state resort park lodge.
