Yesterday marked the 77th day Republican Party of Kentucky Chairman Steve Robertson questioned Jack Conway over his involvement in his brother’s drug investigation: “We’ve said it time and again…Jack Conway has poor judgment both professionally and politically,” said Robertson. “When voters are reminded of who this man is, what is stands for and where his loyalties lie, he will meet his second, and perhaps final, great political defeat.” Conway has officially lost control of this issue.

The terribly designed 1950s style elevated waterfront expressway repels tourists and locals from the area where the Belle docks. The demand for Belle cruises will never cover maintenaince and operating costs as long as that eyesore and earsore remains.
