The Harrison County Fiscal Court is one step closer to finalizing its budget for 2014 after discussing county salaries.
During the second budget workshop, which was held last Tuesday, April 2, the fiscal court took a good look at salaries for county employees.
However, much time was spent discussing issues brought up by the fiscal court about the Economic Development budget and request for increase in pay for its director.

For the better part of the past year, there was no doubt what the biggest issue of the 2013 Regular Session would be: Stabilizing our public retirement systems for state and local government employees and their retirees.
Initially, it seemed as if the House and Senate would not be able to find common ground as both sides took different approaches to solve the problem.  
With the help of Gov. Beshear, however, leaders from both chambers were able to sit down and find a way that most members could support.
