Yesterday, Amy Shoemaker half-hit Morgan McGarvey for profiting from foreclosure cash. But only after he’d been called out publicly. Let’s not pretend it’s real political courage. And her other opponents are still missing in action. [Page One]

Tolls are needed on all bridges to pay for this $4 billion dollar project.

BUT – is this $4 billion dollar project needed if tolls on all bridges is the only way to pay for it?

This is the dilemma we face today.

Are we better off, or worse off, if all bridges are tolled?

No community in America has tolled their bridges in this manner. We are essentially cutting ourselves in half.

Do you think Nashville, Indianapolis, or Cincinnati would cut their region in half like this?

We will be conducting a societal experiment never before tried in urban planning. Once you open this Pandora’s Box, you will not be able to close it. I feel many negative consequences will result from it.

I regularly cross the bridge several times a week for shopping and dining. If tolls are passed, I will greatly limit by bridge crossings.

Read the rest from Wiser after the jump…

I have prepared a commentary entitled “A Bridges Reality Check” that I will hope you will read. (For those wanting to read it, it is on my website)

Several of the conclusions are that building only the East End Bridge will carry MORE cross-river traffic than if we built both the new downtown and East End Bridge together – this is per the Bridge Authority’s own “Environmental Impact Statement”. And, the community overwhelming supports the East End Bridge.

Per a recent news report, supersizing highways leads to more accidents, and not less.

And, per the recent news article on job loss in the community, one of the recommendations is to improve regional cooperation. How will tolls do that?

This community needs long-term jobs and tolls will only harm economic development.

There are other options we can implement to achieve this same goal such as separating the project and building local-access bridges. And, I’m in favor of tolling the East End Bridge.

I am a half-glass full optimist, but if tolls on all bridges is approved, I hate to say it but, I will be a half-glass empty pessimist. I hope you do not sign a death warrant for this community.

If you missed last night’s debate, you may watch it via KET or C-SPAN. [KET & C-SPAN]

Chris Thieneman, the guy who admitted to trying to buy favor with zoning – the guy who gives people free rent in exchange for positive press, endorsed Hal Heiner. [WHAS11]

Greg Fischer is still having difficulty accepting the fact that he could be investigated for election fraud. He’s freaking out that Hal Heiner continues to call him out. [FatLip]

The Jefferson County Teachers Association rescinded its endorsement of of David Toborowski. After all of those mailers and television spots. Guess that whole pretending to live in an apartment owned by Chris Thieneman didn’t work out so well for him. [FOX41]

Eric Flack has tons more on the story. It’s a mess for that group of Thieneman followers. [WAVE3]

Since Gabe Bullard is pointing it out, I’ll do the same. Feel free to check this story to see which A Kentucky Newspaper reporter outed a confidential source. [WFPL]

Is Louisville really the sixth dumbest city in the country? [FatLip]

Looks like Lexington is finally catching up to Louisville when it comes to crazy, stab-filled bar fights that leave a dozen injured. [H-L]

John Yarmuth and Todd Lally met for yet another debate. Lally is still pretending the polls are wrong. [WAVE3 & FOX41]

The NRSC filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission against WHAS11. [Ryan Alessi]

After Doug Hawkins sat down from teabagging David Yates in the face, he continued to yell and whine like the child he is, constantly interrupting.

Here are the highlights of that behavior:

My favorite moment was when Hawkins refused to look at Yates when shaking his hand at the end of the debate.

And for all of you naysayers who are pissed that I’m not discussing the topics of conversation at the debate: south end development and business, MSD, discretionary funds, urban services district, etc. Hawkins poo-pooed everything and Yates seemed interested in everything.

Lots of the same old stuff, lots of Lally claiming global warming is like Y2K fears. Pretty ripe.

Here’s the entire thing:

WAVE’s folks should be commended for putting the entire show on the web not long after it aired.

Jeffersonville, Indiana will vote again this evening on a no tolls resolution. 6:30 P.M. at City Hall, Room 101, 500 Quartermaster Court. Meanwhile, the bridges authority is still ignoring the will of the public. [Press Release]

Oh, and Joe Gerth: The Executive Branch Ethics Commission did NOT “clear” Jack Conway of anything. Tune in to Page One later today. Dear Rand: If you didn’t tie that lady up and scare her in a creek, you should go ahead and say you did not do it. [Don't Miss It]

The debate did, indeed, turn bitter. Rand refused to shake Jack’s hand. It was great. [AP]

The KFC Grease Bucket hosted the Eagles on Saturday and traffic apparently wasn’t a nightmare. Did you go? What was the experience like? [WHAS11]

A judge released boxes of evidence in the Cecil New murder case. This story gets more insane each and every day and it’s been years. [FOX 41]

Jack Conway’s new anti-Rand Paul ad made Gawker. [Gawker]

Speaking of Jack, it must be reiterated that disgusting Karl Rove’s latest ad about him is not dishonest. [Page One]

The Louisville Youth Group is asking the community to come together in a stand against anti-gay bullying. [WAVE3]

Everyone exited? FOX 41 is adding a 6:30 P.M. news program. [Business First]

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]

This is all I can think while reading an article about Dawne Gee’s favorite foods: MMMMMM. [LEO Weekly]

How crazy are horse people? Crazy enough to walk from Lexington to Louisville for the Breeders’ Cup. All the money they raise is going to charity. [Paulick Report]

Jackie Green sent an email blast this morning asking supporters to email various big dogs at WHAS11 and UofL because he’s not welcome to participate in this evening’s mayoral debate. While silly, of course, the two entities decided a long time ago that candidates wouldn’t be invited if they don’t poll at at least 5%.  If they didn’t make exceptions for the congressional debate, they’re not gonna make exceptions for the mayoral debate. [Email Blast]

The mayoral candidates had yet another debate. Check out their ideas/non-ideas about how to make transportation greener. [CN|2]

During last night’s WHAS11 3rd District Congressional debate at the University of Louisville, Gerth asked Todd Lally what he meant by “openly gay behavior” when discussing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.

Here’s what went down:

Isn’t it interesting that Lally didn’t answer the question? As John Yarmuth adequately pointed out, Lally’s “gay behavior” myth is just that.

You should be sure to watch the entire hour-long debate if you get the opportunity. Joe Arnold tells me the footage will soon be archived on WHAS11′s website. I particularly enjoyed the two times Lally brought up “poles.”

Second-favorite? When Lally said that corporations are people. Specifically, “I think public financing of elections is where, once you have hit socialism, that’s when you have public financing for elections. I find that to be an extreme position. Um, corporations are just entities made up of people. Corporations are people. They are not some, some nameless organization. These are people. They have a first amendment right. And the Supreme Court said that they should have it and I agree with the Supreme Court.”
