I have friends involved with this “Compassionate City” thing. Not entirely a bad idea. But it won’t be feasible until Greg Fischer is out of office. Even the people involved roll their eyes over it. What’s compassionate about what he’s not doing with Metro Animal Services? The way he allows Sadiqa and his trust fund [...]

Is Mary Woolridge as batshit crazy as Judy Green? Really? Alleging the appointment of Attica Scott was rigged? [WFPL] Just a reminder about what’s going down with Cordish and Metro Government.

It’s a shame the bad seeds always taint everyone else. [H-L] When, exactly, can this city quit pretending it supports the Jefferson County Public Schools student assignment plan? [C-J/AKN] Yep, [...]

Here’s your reminder that Jack [...]

National College ran another ad (in addition to the one we told you about) against Jack Conway yesterday. This one is an open letter to Jack that was signed by more than 750 students: We understand that you have filed suit against National College for alleged violation of consumer protection laws.

Jack Conway just released a new ad responding to Todd P’Pool’s attack ad: Here’s the email blast from Elizabeth Conway that goes along with it: We need your help to beat back a lie and shameful attack on our family. For a year now, Jack and I have stayed silent as our opponent has smeared [...]
