And they wonder why the circulation numbers are down. I stopped taking the paper 10 years ago.

Again, ‘change agent’ is window dressing
for willful negligence and abuse.

…incurable jumble!

Look, Downard could be the most corrupt person on earth.

But the fact of the matter is he’s speaking the truth on these matters and he is doing so with facts in-hand.

One of the things that the public never understands is just how incompetent this administration, mostly former city, is. Jerry surrounded himself with yes men instead of competent staff that would intellectually challenge him.

That being said, it is sad that Kelly Downard gets characterized as a “backbiter” when if fact he is one of the finest public servants we have, he contributes so much to this community and the rights of Metro employees, yet gets dismissed for speaking the truth.

If I didn’t have a 20-lb parrot that crapped like a dog, I’d have terminated my subscription years ago.

Let’s not disparage the Courier-Journal- after all- they have been such great change agents in their support of connecting the city to it’s waterfront and building an east end bridge, and pushing through a merger that cured our poverty and crime problems.

It never ceases to amaze me that the Courageless Journal continues to report non facts or leave out essential facts. Now they want to lump praise on a man with a proven track record everywhere of gross incompetence and failure. Where is the money and the accounting AAA fiasco? I guess his sexual harassment responsibility is just, as Jerry says, just a problem with social ineptitude. What planet are they on? What about his instructing his officers to enter private homes without warrants or with faulty non warrants in order to seize people’s pets hold them for ransom and when they can’t pay the huge amount, refuse to return them and send them to AAA for sale? What about Meloche’s sworn statements in a deposition in a Federal case that poor people shouldn’t own dogs because they don’t take care of them? That comment fits well with Jerry’s “poorer, older, blacker” mentality and is just an extension of Meloche’s bigoted alleged statements calling the people of the Commonwealth “rednecks” and Hillary Clinton the “c” word and our President the “n” word. This is just disgusting. This community should be grateful for the likes of Kelly Downard who has the guts to stand up and be counted when it comes to holding our public officials accountable for graft, misfeasance, malfeasance and overall corruption. We are all blessed to have attorneys like Jon Fleischaker who believes at his very core that only when the least among us is protected are we all safe. It is time to call the Courageless Journal OUT!!!! Thanks Jake for doing it!!!!
