This is apparently a thing that is happening tomorrow on the waterfront. [Consuming Louisville]

Oh, look, it’s Anne Northup putting down the sauce long enough to complain about John Yarmuth again. If she really gave two flips about the bridges situation, wouldn’t her ass still be working on it? This city voted her out for a reason – it wanted her gone. She needs to get the hint. (It’s true, though, that John is placating his rich friends more than he should.) [WHAS11]

Remember the monster water main break? It cost $1.1 million to repair. [WLKY]

Have you seen the stinky hypocrisy rolling out of the Democrats in Kentucky lately? We’re still waiting on their jobs plan and goals for Kentucky’s economy. It’s too bad they’ll never offer them, ever. [Page One]

Yesterday marked the 120th day Republican Party of Kentucky Chairman Steve Robertson has questioned Jack Conway: “If Jack Conway really thinks he can make it through Election Day without answering these questions, he’s got another thing coming,” said Robertson. “If he wanted to make this thing go away, all he would have to do is thoroughly answer the five simple questions I have been posing for 120 days now.” [Press Release]

Lexington’s Urban County Government is making contingency plans for budget cuts. If Louisville did the same, Greg Fischer wouldn’t be disconnected enough to beg Metro Councilcritters for their slush fund dollars for his waterfront party. [H-L]

Judy Green has been given until Tuesday to produce those documents she doesn’t want to produce. Why these people continue giving her break after break is beyond us. [C-J/AKN]

One our my favorite things – the rare moments when we bother looking at the Courier-Journal – is when Dan Klepal does a great local story. This one about LMAS is a solid example. And isn’t it funny hearing Greg Fischer tell all these groups to work with the new director? After he, himself, has spent a year refusing to work with them? [C-J/AKN]

Brown-Forman voted to re-elect its board members during its annual meeting yesterday. [Business First]

Service for Peace is collecting backpacks for low-income families and you should consider helping out. [WHAS11]

Sweden has learned to be so transparent that it takes citizens on tours of its nuclear storage facilities and asks for their input. Louisville’s mayor is so far in the opposite direction that every single thing he does is secretive (particularly when it comes to hirings and spending hundreds of thousands of tax dollars) and there are often penalties for those who reveal details. [NPR]

Remember the Cecil New-Ivan Cano murder case that shook this city to its core? The case is settled but investigators still have questions. [More FOX41]

Here’s a serious look at the jockey found dead at Churchill Downs earlier this week. [Paulick Report]

The Whiskey Row/Iron Quarter is a great thing for Louisville. But Greg Fischer should get very little credit for this. All of it lays at the feet of preservationists, the Brown Family, and even Todd Blue for finally giving in (even though it costs the taxpayers). [C-J/AKN]

Yet again, Republican Party of Kentucky Chairman Steve Robertson (yesterday) called on Jack Conway to answer the questions he first raised a week ago. “It’s been a rough week for Jack Conway,” said Robertson. “We learned today that Republican Nominee Todd P’Pool more than tripled Conway’s fundraising numbers. Kentuckians refuse to stomach a politician who apparently believes he is above answering to the people.” [Press Release]

Goldman-Sachs is still pimping out the arena. A print version of the ad appears in this week’s New Yorker. [Click the Clicky]
