I agree Jerry Hater. Conway is too entrenched to try to do anything to Jerry. Sad because I actually thought he may be one of the good guys after all.

KYGuy is right: Lexington did the fiberglass horses before Louisville.

Big Daddy,
Jack Conway doesnt have any balls to investigate Jerry and it would not be the same usual partisan politics if he did. Jack Conway seems to be a pretty good guy but unfortuniately he plays the same old political game. If he would step up and investigate Jerry, he would definetly win support from both political sides. I dont know what Jack thinks he has to lose if he does investigate Jerry, everyone hates Jerry. It could be a win-win situation for him.

The sad thing is that investigative reporting isn’t in vogue now at the CJ or any other local entity including radio and TV. The closest places we have to this is the Ville Voice and Springston not to mention a few others. Arnie is too worried about making sure that he runs plenty of wire stories from the AP rather than sending out some people to have interviews and ask tough questions. When is it that they are going to start asking the Metro (RUBBER STAMP) Council some tough questions and put Jerry Abramson on the spot too. Speaking of that, why doesn’t Jack Conway start an investigation of Jerry.

3-4 years ago, the C-J did a very in-depth investigation of David Rose, enTerra and his other oil/gas scams, interviewing people who had lost money from Kentucky to Australia and everywhere in between.

Either:
1. Shelley caved on something Brent and Steve wanted so they agreed to play along for now?
2. The mayor and GLI pres (both will go to the mat for Shelley) carried more weight with Wesslund, Haddad, and Hardesty to scare the others off? (Hujo + Imhoff = JCTA, Elmore = asleep, Duncan = trying to do the right thing but powerless and easily confused)
3. Mayor and GLI pres agreed to do something for JCTA, like back JCTA school board candidates in the next election because they don’t like the backlash that is stirring about neighborhood schools?

This is a game as old as monopoly. Whose play is it?

I usually think the CJ commenters are morons, but a few have it right: If you want more black judges, you’ll need black lawyers to, you know, run for office.

I guess since we didn’t get the slots bill passed, the only horses we will see in Kentucky is the fiberglass kind.
