Budget discussions are not known for being utterly fascinating, but I encourage you to listen to this week’s podcast with the Executive Director for the Office of Finance and Budget, Eric Lowery. His job is much more than providing review and oversite for the CHFS annual budget. That is the big picture. More importantly, he assists the Secretary’s Office in helping Kentucky communities strengthen individuals and families. Our conversation ranges from milkshakes at Tommy’s Root beer Stand in Barbourville, to how the pandemic has affected this year’s budget. I hope your takeaway is our deep appreciation for the work that you do as CHFS, as we strive to lift all Kentuckians, including our most vulnerable populations.
