Governor Holcomb Addresses Claims COVID-19 Will Be Over November 4th

Published on

During the open questioning portion of the August 12, 2020, weekly briefing with Governor Holcomb and other state officials, Governor Holcomb was asked how he would address those that claim COVID-19 will all be over November 4th. November 4th is the day after the 2020 Presidential Election.

Below are the reporter’s question and Governor Holcomb’s reply

Reporter:
“I’ve heard, even from business people who are greatly respected, this is all going to be over November 4th. What do you say to those people? I’m serious. I have heard that multiple times.”

Governor Holcomb:
“Well I’m not your bookie, but don’t bet on it. If we’ve learned anything – it’s you know – we, we wake up every day with three scenarios in mind; one that it’s going to stay the same, one it’s going to get worse, or one it’s going to get better. And, we’re trying to do everything we can 24/7 to realize the third scenario and that will require us all to do our part. So there should be no, ‘well, I’ll just punt my responsibilities because this will all be over on any given day that you hope will occur.’ That is not a strategy for good health or success.”

The next scheduled Governor Holcomb briefing is Wednesday, August 26, 2020.

Paid Parenting Leave Policy Adopted By Frankfort Board of Works

Published on

During the Monday, August 24, 2020, meeting of the Frankfort Board of Public Works, Resolution 20-10, a resolution to adopt a paid parenting leave policy and to provide paid leave for certain qualified city employees, passed unanimously.

This new policy provides mothers with 30 consecutive calendar days and fathers with 15 consecutive calendar days of paid leave. The leave would apply to parents who adopt as well. The paid leave will run concurrently with FMLA.

“I think it’s a good benefit for our employees and I’m just really excited about it,” said Frankfort Mayor Judy Sheets. “I’m glad that we were able to do that for them.”

Mayor Sheets talked about how the policy will work and how this benefit was never addressed previously.

“It is something that has never been addressed as far as I know in a handbook or anything like that. It will run concurrently with their FMLA and they’re able to have that time off and then after that, it is their option whether or not they want to use their vacation, sick or anything like that as well.”

The Mayor spoke of why this policy was addressed at this time.

“We currently have a female that is pregnant and we want to make sure that we had this done in time for her to get this benefit as well. I guess, I put the push on this. Let’s get this done, let’s not have her worry about these things. I have been in that position. It is really worrisome to the parents, ‘how are they going to handle that leave?’”
