Frankfort, KY:  Due to a technical error, one paragraph of tonight’s State of the Commonwealth address was omitted.   This information deals with a pressing concern of Kentucky’s hard working farm families. 

The governor’s office feels compelled to release the paragraph that was inadvertently left out of tonight’s address.  The text is as follows:

“Additionally as we move into advanced agriculture and natural product technology, I would like to encourage you to protect Phase I tobacco money for those purposes as we pay our farmers the Phase II money they are relying on.  Our tax plan assumes this will happen.”

Governor Ernie Fletcher
State of the Commonwealth
