  • CEO Salaries Were on the Rise. Then Came COVID-19
    September 9, 2020 Volume 16, Number 34 CEO salaries were on the rise. Then came COVID-19. The agriculture industry was able to wrap up its annual early-year blitz of meetings and conventions before the onset of the coronavirus led to months-long event cancellations, but with next year’s crop of meetings in jeopardy, organizations are taking a nervous look at their balance sheets — including what they pay their CEOs. “A key driver for a lot of organizations is going to be how are they now going to measure success?” asked Bob Skelton, the chief administrative officer at the American Society of Association Executives. Financial indicators have been an easy metric to follow in recent years; an organization with good cash flow generally means a CEO receives a healthy bonus or raise. In fact, Skelton said a 5% bump in pay had become standard for association executives across many different sectors. Now, with the lost revenue of canceled events, one area where there might be some savings is in payroll, specifically in the compensation of their top executives. The numbers reported in this year’s Agri-Pulse CEO salary report just might represent a peak of sorts, and the financial hit of COVID-19 could deal a blow to organizations that will require years of recovery. “The whole landscape right now is murky, and there’s going to be changes,” Skelton said. “We’re not going to know all the details about those changes for another year, but things are definitely going to look different.” www.Agri-Pulse.com 1 But prior to COVID-19, CEO salaries were on a predictable upward trajectory.

    2015 Interim LEGISLATIVE Volume 28, No. 5 August 2015 RECORD * Read online at www.lrc.ky.gov/legislation.htm Lawmakers focus on preserving military bases by Jim Hannah LRC Public Information FRANKFORT – The best way to preserve Ken- tucky’s two largest military installations – Fort Knox and Fort Campbell – is to make them more economi- cally viable for U.S. Army to operate. That’s what Col. (Ret.) David Thompson, executive director of the Kentucky Commission on Military Affairs, told members of the Interim Joint Committee on Veterans, Military Affairs and Public Protection on Aug. 13 in Frankfort. “The theme is to reduce their costs,” Thompson said. “They don’t have the money they had before. Any time we can help the installations, to pull the cost burdens off them for operating the installations, the better.” He said it’s vital Kentucky does everything it can to preserve the two bases, in addition the Blue- grass Army Depot in Richmond. The military brings $15.3 billion into Kentucky’s economy annually, Thompson said. Much of that is because of the three installations.

    PFIZER PAC & CORPORATE POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS REPORT 2005 – 2006 CYCLE Learn which candidates we supported in your community PFIZER PAC ~ OUR VOICE IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS A Message From Rich Bagger, Chairman Pfizer PAC Dear Colleagues: One of our five immediate priorities at Pfizer is to engage more actively and meaningfully with patients, doctors, payers, governments and other key stakeholders. We’re reaching out to these important groups and working harder to meet their needs. We're also working harder to engage all stakeholders in the dialogue on health policy and actively participate in the discussion over how to improve the quality of healthcare, access to medicines, and incentives for innovation. Pfizer PAC is one of the key ways in which we engage with candidates for public office. Through Pfizer PAC, we support candidates who understand the importance of innovative life sciences companies like Pfizer in fighting disease, improving health outcomes, and ensuring access to vital medicines. This report includes a list of candidates and political committees that Pfizer PAC supported during the 2005-06 election cycle. I hope you will take some time to review this report and see which candidates Pfizer PAC supported in your region. This was a successful year for Pfizer PAC. In the past election cycle, Pfizer PAC supported more than 2,277 candidates from both political parties, and at all levels of government.

  • 2013 Special Session of the Kentucky General Assembly
    August 26, 2013 2013 SPECIAL SESSION OF THE KENTUCKY GENERAL ASSEMBLY The Kentucky General Assembly concluded their Extraordinary Session last Friday. They finalized the redistricting map of the legislative districts of the Kentucky General Assembly, HB 1 , in five days the minimum number of days required to pass a piece of legislation. The bill passed the House 83-17 and the Senate 35-2. Governor Beshear signed the bill last Friday and since HB 1 contained an emergency clause this legislation took effect immediately. The House map divides 24 counties into multiple districts and adds one district to Jefferson County. Eight incumbents will be paired against each other: Rep. Rocky Adkins and Rep. Kevin Sinnette in District 100, Rep. John Will Stacy and Rep. Hubert Collins in District 97, Rep. Jim DeCesare and Rep. C.B. Embry in District 17 and Rep. Myron Dossett and Rep. Ben Waide in District 9. Here is a link to the new House districts: http://www.lrc.ky.gov/GIS/pdf/HH001M01c.pdf The Senate map divides three counties and no incumbents were placed into the same district. Here is a link to the new Senate districts: http://www.lrc.ky.gov/GIS/pdf/SH001A02c.pdf As a result of redistricting several counties are now represented by a new State Representative and/or a new State Senator. With the 2014 session of the General Assembly just four months away it is critically important that you meet with your members of the General Assembly to discuss our priority issues. Also during this special session the Senate also passed SR 25 by voice vote.
