Kentucky Transportation Cabinet

Governor Matt Bevin says pay raises will be awarded to more than half of the workforce in the state Transportation Cabinet. 

Transportation officials said Monday in Frankfort that some employees could receive salary increases of up to $3.20 per hour by January. The raises will cover many of the cabinet's lowest-paid jobs.

Bevin says the goal is to reduce high employee turnover rates.
