I sent Brevard County’s director a note asking that
they do a ‘careful and thorough review of all five candidates’…hopefully, a red flag.

If I contact Brevard County Animal Services in Titusville, Florida and tell them about Meloche, can I be held for slander because I sure want to let them know. They are making their decision tomorrow. Maybe we could all call them. Their phone number is on their web site.

Jake, look at the surrounding states. Why does Kentucky need 120 counties? Historically, a lot of these counties were created or carved out as political gifts and nothing else. And ultimately, the state had to put a stop to this madness.

I really wish there was an edit function…..”There are too many…”

I swear I’m not was uneducated as my typing skills indicate.

Steve, I couldn’t agree more. I have stated numerous times that too many economically unproductive counties control a disproportionate amount of power in Frankfort.

There unfortunately is no way that is going to happen because the government jobs are some of the most coveted jobs in those counties. Their are way too many cooks in the kitchen. Getting something done in Frankfort with 120 different interests is like herding cats.

Politics is like religion. There are a lot of different kinds and everyone thinks theirs is correct. I can only speak for myself in that as a business owner, I can be more honest and less PC by withholding my full name. But to your point, I think it can be abused and people obviously play games.

If you disclose what you do for a living and disclose any direct political affiliations, I think it’s fine.

The only people who suggest merging counties are the people who have never visited more than ten or 15 counties outside of Louisville.

I also meant to add that whenever someone stands behind their words, it may not make the words truer, but it does give the words a certain kind of weight, as we should know that someone is generally far less likely to be playing games or outright lying if they have attached their real name to it. Unless they are campaign managers. Heh.

Mark H, would you agree it’s long past due for Kentucky to consider merging a lot of these counties together? 120 counties -> 40. That would definitely change Kentucky for the better.

I’m just curious why there is even a Breathitt County Republican Party chairman?

The county has fewer residents than Southeast Christian Church has members, and of those, I can’t imagine there’s a heck of a lot of Republicans.

And Mike Bryant thinks his adding his name to the website adds credibility to it?
