I have received multiple phone calls today telling me that Steve BeShear is quietly ridding himself of his Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners and they are being replaced with Jerry Abramson cronies and appointees. If proven true this gives even more merit to my claims that Abramson will be appointed Lt. Governor prior to the 2011 election and Mongiardo will leave the office to focus full time on his campaign.
Of course as we all know Abramson's people are better equipped at hiding money and helping themselves.
Stay tuned there will be more as more details emerge...............

ANOTHER IPL FIASCO: TATTOO CHARLIE'S TOLD TO CEASE AND DESIST
Thanks to Rick Redding over at louisvillemojo.com for this article: http://louisvillemojo.com/blogs/Louisville_blogs/83044/Tattoo_Charlie_s_Forced_Out_of_Okolona_
Anyone who has had tattoo work done knows Charlie's is the premier of the industry so it is pathetic to see how the business is being targeted by the IPL Abramson gestapo.
I was in Charlie's the day he opened the Preston location. I was with the first customer at the new store on Preston and was thrilled to see someone finally put a business there that would last awhile.
So was the City at that time.
Tattoo Charlie's has been a mainstay of Louisville it seems like forever. Charlie himself was a jovial guy who loved what he did and was customer friendly. I never saw him when he wasn't laughing and joking with customers. He was a great testament to how one should act when doing business in the public eye.
No one I know ever had a problem or complaint with Tattoo Charlie's. Not only did I have my own work done at Tattoo Charlie's I refer anyone and everyone I know that is getting a tattoo to go there. I admit I am biased because I truly think they have been a great part of the City and have set the standard for anyone in the business to follow.
So I have to ask why now?
Is the City that hard up they have to attack an employer and business in this City that has brought National attention? Rick Redding asked the obvious question:
Why have Louisville zoning code-enforcement officers issued a citation to Tattoo Charlie's to "cease immediately using this property" on Preston Highway?
There is no logical conclusion at this point.
The Preston location has been around since 1992 and has never had problems. Zoning idiots, I mean officials, changed the laws in 2000 to make it necessary for a Tattoo place to be zoned C-2. The location is C-1.
Instead of grandfathering Charlie's in like they do just about anyone and everyone else they choose to take this route. And they do this a decade AFTER they change the rules. It makes no sense and is just one more example of what is wrong with our planning and design department.
They arbitrarily enforce what they deem to be the rules for that day against who they deem to be a problem. Apparently now almost 10 years later they decide Charlie's at that location is a problem. Considering it is MaDonna Flood's district and we all know about her felon husband John being IPL Chief at one time one wonders if they have anything to do with this.
We will soon know.
In the meantime these idiots at Planning and Design continue to make the rules as they go along instead of enforcing them consistently. Look at JAVANON, JBSwift, the list goes on and on.
In the meantime we all have to suffer from this idiocy.
Just saying.

AUNT MILLIE'S TO DONATE 2,400 LOAVES OF BREAD ON DECEMBER 2 TO LOUISVILLE'S DARE TO CARE
Press release from Aunt Mille's doing their part to help during the holidays. Drop them an email and say thanks.
Fort Wayne, Indiana: Aunt Millie’s will donate 2,400 loaves of Butter Top Wheat Bread to Dare to Care Food Bank of Louisville, Kentucky on December 2, 2009*. The bread will be delivered fresh to Dare to Care for distribution to those in need this holiday season.

Generous donations from caring companies such as Aunt Millie’s makes our job easier. We thank them for helping us during the busy holiday season.”
Dare to Care Food Bank was founded in 1971, after the Louisville community was stunned to discover a nine year-old boy had died of starvation on Thanksgiving Day.

Over 175,000 people in Kentucky and southern Indiana struggle daily to get the food they need to be healthy.

IPL INSPECTOR FIRED FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT
As many know IPL has been a thorn in the side of many throughout the community. Many refer to the department as a bunch of thugs and degenerates. Michael Baugh even says he is "God" when he shows up on your property and thinks he should be treated as such.
They even allowed MaDonna Flood's convicted felon husband to have a major role in the department until he finally had to resign. Of course he should be in jail again but they wouldn't allow that because of politics of course. The democratic machine at its finest on a local level but I digress.
This story just released by the CJ shows at least one IPL inspector is a degenerate. Fired code enforcement officer accused of exposing himself courier-journal.com The Courier-Journal
What kind of a moron has an ego that thinks he can get away with this behavior? This is just one more pathetic example of no leadership until now in this department. But Carl Leonard is not alone in this.
In fact Michael Baugh of IPL has had similar complaints made against him to me by people he has harassed. Of course unless they finally step up and put their name on the line and press charges he will continue to get away with it.
This is not the only incident in regards to IPL inspectors, and let me make sure I point out that ALL inspectors are not like this, but it is a growing concern. More than one inspector abuses his authority and demands favors in many ways in order to "pass" an inspection.
There are still several reports from many in the community, business and home owner's alike, that are targeted specifically to try to harass them into shutting up or doing the bidding of Abramson. Yep harass them into keeping their mouths shut about what they know.
Abuse by this Department has been allowed to continue, and even encouraged by some Metro Council members who abuse the process by using IPL as their own personal gestapo, eh Bob Henderson? I am curious to see now that Shreck is gone and Cash on his way out, ( a little birdie told me about some charges that will be made soon against him), if the new Director Jim Mims will really stop these atrocities against the citizens of our community against Abramson's wishes for IPL to become his new cash cow.
We will see.
In the meantime pay close attention to more charges coming down the pike and a slew of lawsuits thanks to the asinine way of Abramson allowing business to be done in this Department.
Oh yeah do not forget we foot the bill for the garbage Abramson dictates so any lawsuits will be paid by us.
Stay tuned there will be plenty more to follow on this Department in more issues to come......

HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Today is the one day a year set aside for us to give thanks. While so many of us see a lot that is wrong with the world sometimes it is easy to forget day to day to be thankful for all that is right.
For myself I am thankful for my family first and foremost. Without them I would be nothing.
I am thankful for my friends who always seem to be there when I need them the most and I never know how they know that I need them. I am thankful for waking up each day when the alternative is so much worse.
I am thankful that no matter what I still live in the freest nation on earth even with all our problems. I am thankful for those who may disagree with me so that I may have an opportunity to see the other side and learn.
Though the last year has been a tough one for so many, including me, I am thankful for the lessons learned and the chance to make it better.
I am thankful for our veterans and soldiers who sacrifice so much for us that so many take for granted. I pray for them and their families that someday we may know peace.
And I am thankful for each and every one of you who get involved and help try to make a difference.
While we may not always agree on the issues or how to solve them one day we shall overcome our differences and find a way to fix them.
I am thankful to each and every one of you who make this site a part of your day and make the MyViewMatters Radio Show a part of your week. Without you all this would be meaningless.
With so many things to be thankful for one would think I would run out of things to write about here. That will not happen anytime soon I assure you.
On this day I want to take the time to say thanks to you all. I also want to remind you each of one thing.
There are more important things in our lives sometimes than this.
Our families, friends, reaching out to those in need, these are what make us who we are and make this world a better place.
On this day I hope that most of us remember that and let them know just how much we appreciate them.
So HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you all. I will see you next week.
