wrong.
To that end, a number of lawmakers already have signed
on to bills that would repeal the retirees’ cuts, including
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.
Paul and Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, introduced the Uphold
Our Promise to Veterans Act, known as Senate Bill 1930
and House Resolution 3807. In a joint statement, Paul and
Poe said, “Congress and the president broke a fi nancial
promise to the veterans of this nation.” …
“We owe it to the men and women who have served in
our armed forces to protect their livelihood, just as they
have protected ours, “ Paul added.
The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 does more than
break a promise. It breaks a covenant. We owe veterans
more than that.
When civilians enter military service, they raise their
right hands and swear to protect the Constitution. Implied
in that affi rmation is the very real knowledge that to do so
means putting their lives on the line.
Members of Congress also swear to uphold the Consti-
tution, too, but their oath is a bit more pedestrian.
We have the best military in the world and it is all vol-
unteer. Without absolute faith that both sides will honor
the covenant, how many young men and women in the fu-
ture will be willing to sign up for such a one-sided deal?

County has road salt
With the recent snowfall, some counties in Kentucky
are scrambling to fi nd road salt. But Casey County isn’t
in danger of running low, said County Judge-Executive
Ronald Wright. Wright said that despite county road crews
being out this past weekend until around midnight on Sat-
urday, current stocks of road salt were to be supplemented
by a shipment that was scheduled to arrive on Monday.
Two more loads of salt are scheduled to arrive in coming
weeks, Wright said.
