If you missed last night’s mayoral debate, here’s what went down: Hal Heiner got closer to a good answer on Fairness but still sucked ass. He then pointed out how the entire Abramson cabal backs his opponent. Greg Fischer cracked a hideous joke about tolls, said the Bridges Authority is doing a fine job (Heiner said he’d review the group to determine if they stay or get replaced), fudged a bit more about the ice machine he didn’t invent. Heiner offered to open up all the hidden documents to unbury the bodies and Fischer lied yet again about his campaign not being involved in the anti-Heiner video. [Deep Mayoral Thoughts]
Footage from the debate will be archived online by noon today, according to Joe Arnold. So be sure to check it out. [WHAS11]

What are you doing for Halloween? You should go see an all-original adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. The Providence Alumni Association, Tim Brown & John Hetzel are producing the show at Providence’s Robinson Theatre (707 Providence Way in Clarksville). Evenings of October 21, 23, 28, 30 and weekend matinees October 23, 24, 30, 31. $14 for evening shows, $10 for matinees and seniors/students are just $8. Go! [Press Release]

Jerry Abramson is set to hold his last community conversation on Monday evening. The event will take place at Seneca High School at 6:30 P.M. [H-L]
What? Could Chris Thieneman be involved in yet another campaign conundrum? He’s certainly no stranger to using property he owns to get what he wants. Like letting a “journalist” live rent-free in an apartment in exchange for free press. There are some interesting questions being raised. [Education Voodoo]

Among the MANY things we have to be thankful for is the fact that Happy Pants will be silenced from any further Mayoral ‘comments’ after the one that’s upcoming. To no longer hear this pompous narcissist shine his apple is worth one (maybe two) martinis this weekend.

I am delighted you got on to the very “useful” use of his properties by Thienman. David Toborowsky is using that address as his for the school board race–and if you do a check, you will find that Mr. Toborowsky is shown as living at at least three different addresses in Louisville, none of them in this board district area. That, added to his history of financial instability, makes him a very dubious candidate for the school board. In addition there is currently an investigation going on into whether he has filmed video for ads on school property–Ballard–and talked to school personnel on camera during school hours. The address he is using is within walking distance of Ballard and other schools. Eau de Butchertown.

Is this the same Toborowsky involved with Cardinal Paving and Red Bird Paving and the many subsequent liens and judgements? If it is, wow, WOW! http://www.jeffersoncountyclerk.org
“Online Land Records”
He would then be highly qualified to sit on the board.

There is only one David Toborowsky listed in Louisville and he has one bankruptcy and several civil court cases filed by creditors. It is all public information.

Plus JCPS is a Billion Dollar operation…and I might add, there is no one on the board with financial expertise; in fact the board often doesn’t even question dubious items like contracts with U of L that provided funding to the Felenr-Berman “friend”.

Before you jump to attacking personally (and I recognize he’s a candidate for public office), it should be noted that bankruptcies occur for MANY reasons. We do not know those reasons. And bankruptcy certainly does not diminish anyone’s capacity or ability to manage, lead, operate or function on any level.

Understood. However, regarding residency, the database lists a lien on the “8705 Sanctuary Lane, 40291″ property recorded on 7/22/2010.
The question is whether or not this is, or is not, Mr. Torborowsky’s primary residence pertaining to the District 3 election.

I agree, Jake, but it the pattern that is problematic when someone is running for an office that requires oversight of a major public organization. No one would be looking at these issues if there weren’t already serious concerns about his candidacy. When you run for public office, you leave your entire history open to view. I am a very strong supporter of the right to privacy. It is not a personal attack to note that an individual who presents himself to the public as being qualified to oversee the budget of a billion dollar operation critical to the future of our community has a flawed history in that key area.
