One of Aristotle's many quotes; "The more you know, the more
you know you don't know."
That’s why we all need to attend our
training sessions. We can never know it all, especially in
these times of changing policies. The world seems smaller and
Kentucky is no different. What goes on in your county is
happing somewhere else. Attending your conference is a great
way to keep up with the rest -- gathering information and
sharing information. You are part of the
conversation.
KCJEA/KMCA Joint Summer Convention will
be held July 17-20, 2013 at the Galt House in

For EXPRESS registration call the KMCA office at

KMCA's revised position on
Constables:
KMCA has reviewed its position on constables. Constables
are fee officers - if they are collecting fees for any
services, that money should be turned over to the county. If
they currently do not have a salary established, it must
be established by the first Monday in May of the year of
election, which has already passed for this term. This
association does not encourage counties to compensate
constables. Most counties don't.
Please help us. Tell
your legislators all legislation:
- Must not be an unfunded mandate
- Must not limit home rule
- Must be positive for County Governments
This is KMCA's Legislative Test.
