  4. Why A New Law? • November 14, 2012 the Auditor of Public Accounts, Adam Edelen, released a report entitled: “Ghost Government: A Report on Special Districts in Kentucky” “for generations no Kentuckian has been able to determine how many Special Districts exist, how much money flows through them, where they are located and whether they are compliant with the law.” APA Edelen

  5. Ghost Government: Findings • More than 1,200 SPGEs • SPGEs spend $2.7 billion annually • In all but three counties, taxpayers pay more to SPGEs in property taxes than to their county governments

  6. What Does KRS Chapter 65A Do? • Defines an SPGE as an entity that: • Exercises less than statewide jurisdiction • Exists for the purpose of providing one or a limited number of services or functions; • Is governed by a board, council, commission, committee, authority or corporation with policy-making authority that is separate from the state and the governing body of the city, county or cities and counties in which it operates. • Has the independent authority to generate public funds or mayreceive and expend public funds, grants, awards or appropriations from the state, any agency, city, county or SPGE.
