NEWS SEPT 07.P65 A QUARTERLY PUBLICATION Kentucky Retired Teachers Association Serving Retired Teachers Since 1957 VOLUME XXXXII, NUMBER 1 LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY SEPTEMBER 2007 Color KRTA Active Who will support the best interests Patsy Young of Kentucky’s Retired Teachers? KRTA President Welcome to a new year! Oh, it is not January, but for most of us from Kindergarten though retirement, September marks the beginning of a new year; our schedules still revolve around the“school year.” With a new year of KRTA come new officers, meetings and workshops, but the same mission as always: to improve the welfare of retired educators in Kentucky. In an effort to accomplish the mission, I challenge us to COLOR KRTA ACTIVE. When asked the inevitable question, “What are you doing now that you are retired?” most retirees are saying, with a smile, “I am so busy.” What are we doing? For some, physical activity is the priority. Golfing, tennis, softball, walking or visits to the gym are among favorite ways to keep the body functioning well. Commendable! What about our minds? Are we reading, doing the crossword puzzles, learning new skills? Of course we are. We are also working real jobs with real demands. Staying Sharp, a collaborative effort between NRTA and the Dana Alliance to promote healthy living, supports the premise that physical and mental activity insures a sharper retiree (even helps Mr. Steve Beshear Governor Ernie Fletcher that memory problem). Democratic Candidate Republican Candidate KRTA members shine brightly in the area of community service. No other group contributes more hours in more areas than retired educators. In How Do Candidates for Governor Stand hospitals, nursing homes and jails, retirees offer compassion and are making on Issues Important to Retired Teachers? difference. Religious leaders are thrilled when a teacher retires; that simply In order to better inform the membership, KRTA asked the candidates means more time for teaching, driving the church van, answering the phone or for the race for the Governor of Kentucky to express their views on directing the choir. Community leaders ask retirees to help with blood drives, certain issues important to retired educators. The questions and their charitable causes from Relay for Life to Big Brothers Big Sisters to CASA. responses are on pages 4-5.

  • The Gubernatorial Elections of 2015: Hard-Fought Races for the Open Seats by Jennifer M
    GOVERNORS The Gubernatorial Elections of 2015: Hard-Fought Races for the Open Seats By Jennifer M. Jensen and Thad Beyle Only three governors were elected in 2015. Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi are the only states that hold their gubernatorial elections during the year prior to the presidential election. This means that these three states can be early indicators of any voter unrest that might unleash itself more broadly in the next year’s congressional and presidential elections, and we saw some of this in the two races where candidates were vying for open seats. Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant (R) was elected to a second term, running in a state that strongly favored his political party. Both Kentucky and Louisiana have elected Democrats and Republicans to the governorship in recent years, and each race was seen as up for grabs by many political pundits. In the end, each election resulted in the governorship turning over to the other political party. Though Tea Party sentiments played a signifi- he lost badly to McConnell, he had name recog- cant role in the primary elections in Kentucky and nition when he entered the gubernatorial race as Louisiana, none of the general elections reflected an anti-establishment candidate who ran an out- the vigor that the Tea Party displayed in the 2014 sider’s campaign against two Republicans who had gubernatorial elections.

The Governor and his leadership contributing to a stronger economy team proved them wrong. When Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear took office, he faced a tremendous challenge in overcoming longstanding issues associated with uninsured and underinsured citizens. So when the Affordable Care Act (ACA) became law, he didn’t see it as a burden, but rather as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to improve the health status of the state’s citizens over the long-term. And that was when he made one of the most important decisions in his role as governor. “We could have opted to use the federal marketplace as a means for providing access to affordable healthcare insurance,” explains Governor Beshear.
