Comments on: Jerry Abramson Hides From the Truth http://thevillevoice.com/2009/11/11/jerry-abramson-hides-from-the-truth/ a critical take on Louisville news Wed, 23 May 2012 23:45:22 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: EdenSprings http://thevillevoice.com/2009/11/11/jerry-abramson-hides-from-the-truth/comment-page-1/#comment-63316 EdenSprings Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:15:18 +0000 http://thevillevoice.com/?p=3549#comment-63316 MIRV888: Madeline, stop apologizing for your husband! And, if you think a bad animal director is "small potatoes" just wait to see what the coming shit-storm of lawsuits is going to cost this burg! Of course, since Jerry hates bad press as much as having to answer for his arrogant actions, I'm sure he'll be ordering his toadies down at the Co. Atty's office to bribe...uh, I mean settle...with the plaintiffs rather than have a nasty mess following him around whilst campaigning to become Lt. Gov.

The heavy lifting was done by the Corradino Group, the Board and Management of the Louisville Regional Airport Authority and the project team. Jerry avoided the project like venereal disease because it was difficult, it was in many quarters unpopular and it involved a lot of heavy lifting. He'd like credit for it now, but it was the dedicated people who made a 20 year commitment to doing something big. He knows how to announce projects and cut ribbons. You can tell the ones in which he had a personal involvement. They're the ones that are AFU....Cordish, the animal shelter, community development, building the wharf for the floating resturant that floated away leaving us holding the bag, closing the incinerator so that we could stack garbage on one of the most strategically important pieces of land by the airport. That's his filthy legacy. If you remember correctly, Abramson distanced himself from the Louisville Airport Improvement Project at every turn unless it was a ribbon cutting.

Jerry's been great for this city. I think the airport expansion will be his biggest achievement. He promoted our city well at the national level too. I know most of you hate him, but Mayor King will make u guys miss Jerry. Mark my words. An incompetent manager at animal services is small potatoes. Jerry’s been great for this city.

All's well that...what exactly, Jerry? What planet are you on? Ah, those back-slapping elected officials who take pride in their 'certainty' and are 'above' making mistakes... The Mayor got us a change agent - who cares what happened next! Disgraced, pride parades itself before the fool falls. Vanity is a cruel bitch! (Just WAIT 'til your next life, buster!!)

The Mayor got us a change agent – who cares
what happened next!

Disgraced, pride parades itself
before the fool falls.

Vanity is a cruel bitch!

Everything's different, but nothing's changed. You still have a guy implicated in employee harassment and the violation of citizen's civil rights leading the F-Troops! And, from what the TV news stories disclosed, although Lil' Wayne's been in charge for weeks, the place is still a stinking mess with animals in desperate need of care. Where are those villagers with pitchforks and flaming torches when you need them? How about letting Zelinsky, who is also named in two major lawsuits along with his mentor, Dr. Meloche, in charge?
