May 2nd, 2012 · 6 Comments

Maybe Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post needs a reality check? Because the bridges situation in Louisville isn’t puppies and rainbows, as he’d have you believe. Most of Kentucky’s bridges are falling apart. [WaPo] We’re fans of 21C but that thing is both gigantic and hideous. It’ll be defaced in 3, 2… [C-J/AKN] What was [...]

What Is Mayor Buzzwords Talking About Now?

April 26th, 2012 · No Comments

Have you seen this sad Brooks Wicker campaign against John Yarmuth? The amount in his campaign war chest is less than Frankfort folks spend on hookers in a given five-minute period of time.

Ohio River Bridges Debacle Jobs Reality: Meh

April 19th, 2012 · No Comments

Greg Fischer ran on a platform of JOBS, JOBS, JOBS. But when you take a look at page 300 of the Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Warning: Massive External PDF Link), you learn: “As shown, construction of the LSIORB Project would result in a shift in permanent employment within the LMPA, and a decrease of [...]

Looks like Joe Riffe is going to get the shaft at LMEMS. But Shelby County EMS is ready to hire him up: The judge and Todd have given me an open offer to come work for Shelby County EMS as soon as I’m ready. It would be a part time position to start, then full [...]

Debby Yetter: First Good Thing At AKN In Ages

April 16th, 2012 · No Comments

Kentucky’s special legislative session begins today and will cost you more than $60,000 per day. To accomplish next to nothing.
