Third time in three weeks that something near-disaster has occurred and Metro Government has played pat-a-cake. WHEN WILL THIS CITY GET ANSWERS, DAMNIT? It’s safe to start putting blame at the feet of Greg Fischer.

HAHAHA. It would be a lot more funny if PETA wasn’t a miserable failure and/or had an actual movement on the local level that it could engage for events like this. At least we can laugh at the pictures and envision the ripe spell of roasting pig guts and fecal matter.

Earlier we discussed Judge Fred Cowan’s ruling about the Louisville Metro Board of Zoning Adjustment (BOZA/Board) landscaping requirement for the JBS Swift pig slaughtering factory in Butchertown.

From the woman who did the hatchet job of a story on a WHAS11 employee a few months back comes the latest story about Fred Cowan tossing a requirement that JBS Swift do landscaping. Since the hog killing factory won’t have to beautify the property it, you can bet locals will try to force the [...]
