  • Kentucky State Police
    Commonwealth Communiqué Text Only Version Commonwealth Communiqué This is the text only version of this article. | Return to full page. Thanks!!! By Gov. Paul Patton Almost eight years ago I came into the Office of Governor with arguably more experience working with public employees, at both the county and state level, than any governor in recent history. Knowing the importance of our workforce, one of my first actions as governor was to elevate the Department of Personnel to cabinet status. There is no other element of state government more important than our employees. Like many others, I was frustrated with a compensation system that had not been substantially updated since the early 1980s. It was unbelievable to me that employees who were classified as long-term seasonal worked eleven months a year for year after year, and did not have merit status or full-time benefits. And, I agreed with all those state employees who told me that there was a "good ole' boy" system that allowed only a select few to know when vacant jobs were to be filled. From my first day in office, I began working to change our personnel and compensation systems to make them fairer and, together with the Personnel Cabinet, instituted the first major review of our personnel system in almost two decades. As my term is coming to a close, I often find myself thinking back eight years to what I had hoped to accomplish, and comparing that with the actual accomplishments of my two terms. Since this will be my last article in the Communiqué, I thought it would be interesting to share with you my thoughts about those issues related to state employees.

  • The Courage of General Anthony Mcauliffe at Bastogne
    The Courage of General Anthony McAuliffe at Bastogne Handout A: Narrative BACKGROUND The Allies had invaded North Africa, Sicily, and Italy, before launching the invasion of Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944. By December of 1944, the Allied armies had fought their way off the beaches of Normandy to the eastern borders of France and Belgium. To the south, Allied troops had knocked Italy out of the war and landed another large force in the south of France. To the east, the Soviet armies were advancing steadily, driving German forces further and further back toward Berlin. It seemed to most observers that it was just a matter of time before the Nazis were finally defeated. As winter settled in in the west, there was a temporary lull in the fighting when Dwight D. Eisenhower, Commander of the Allied Forces, rested his troops and shored up his supply lines. These supply lines were extremely thin. Due to destruction to France’s infrastructure during the German occupation and retreat, the Allied armies were still completely dependent upon deep-water ports on the English Channel. One of the most important of these was Antwerp, located in Belgium. These ports were now many miles behind the lines. However, all seemed secure as harsh winter weather was expected to bring a halt to military operations. In this, German planners saw an opportunity. If they could secretly mass a large offensive in the west and punch through the thinly held Ardennes region of the Allied line and capture Antwerp, they could divide the Allied armies and cut their supply lines, making them ineffective as fighting units.
