Flood update: I received a phone call earlier Thursday morning telling me that John Flood is putting in his resignation this Friday. I have calls in to verify right now. I will let you know how it turns out. In the meantime check this out where I mentioned this was a possible part of a plea deal to make his charges disappear: Louisville News and Politics: FLOOD UPDATE
Jim King Illegal Mailer for Katie?: OK I have to admit I saw this on some comments over at pageonekentucky.com Ready For This? Katie King Is In Trouble#comments. Allegedly Jim King's Bank, King Southern Bank, has been putting Katie King flyer's in people's mortgage bills. Talk about pressure huh? If proven true King has surely sunk even lower and probably illegally since his bank is federally regulated.
I will pass this off as rumor for now but would love one of you faithful readers to send me proof. Being a regulated industry I am fairly sure that this would be another ethical, and very possibly illegal, campaign problem for the King's http://courts.ky.gov/NR/rdonlyres/4B1126C7-F694-413A-A1BF-4474C53AFA0D/0/JE116.pdf. If anyone has the proof you will remain anonymous. Please call me at (502)742-8519, or send me a copy at myviewmatters@aol.com.
Another code enforcement debacle updated: Back in August I reported on a friend being thrown out of a public code enforcement hearing for having the audacity to stand in the back of the room so he could hear the proceedings better Louisville News and Politics: Another Code enforcement debacle. A clear violation of his rights was what I contended.
According to the State Attorney General, Jack Conway, his rights were indeed violated and Code Enforcement just lost another case with their bullying illegal ways. Below is a copy of the summary. For the complete decision contact me I will send it:
"Summary: Insofar as the objective proof conclusively establishes that complainant was ejected from the hearing solely for declining to sit rather than remain standing in the back of the room, this office finds that a violation of KRS 61.840 occurred; the digital recording of the meeting confirms that such a condition was not required for the maintenance of order. The Board also violated KRS 61.846(1) in failing to issue a written response within three business days of receiving the complaint."
Congratulations for making these folks accountable!
Sign Update: Most of you know by now that Chris Thieneman put up a thank you sign for the hard work in stopping the form district change Henderson favors, though Henderson is acting like he had it stopped lying once again, for more read here: Louisville News and Politics: FORM DISTRICT CHANGE: ONLY DROPPED TEMPORARILY. Of course that sign was stolen almost immediately.
Chris had a new sign made up and it is in the same spot. These children that steal signs need to grow up. Do you hear that Henderson, Mattingly, Wood? Of course this is just "speculation" on my part of who it may be.
Speaking of signs: Want to know what happens when you put up a sign on someone's property they did not ask for and did not want? Check out the pic at the top of this article. Anne Northup decided she could go ahead and put that sign in this yard without their permission. NEVER do you do that. From what I have seen around the neighborhood her campaign has done that a bit since a few seem to be disappearing. Normally I would think they were being stolen but this pic says it all.
If the candidates are going to think they have the right to use you and your property without permission make them pay for it. In this case, a picture is indeed worth a thousand words.
See you next time.
As one who has been hassled by the IPL, I am glad to see him go. I have to pay several hundred dollars because the IPL can't tell the difference between weeds and Kentucky Goldenrod (the state flower), and is unwilling to look and see that my woodpile was on concrete (which is legal) and not dirt. Let's hope they get someone decent in that position.
ReplyDeleteTell all of your friends to vote for Scott Weddle in District 24 and hopefully we can get rid of Flood's wife as well. Since the council sets the IPL's budget and the director's salary, can you tell me how they justified it not being a conflict of interest?
We absolutely need to get rid of Madonna Flood because someone in her position should not be having family working in power positions of the Metro government.
ReplyDeleteMajor conflict of interest there. Not to mention that Madonna Flood has did little for the South End areas of Hillview, Okolona, etc. Roads such as the Outer Loop have been turned to bombed out shells and hard to drive on. Little in the way of improvements have been made in this area. Antle Drive is a mess as well especially its connection with Old Preston Hwy.
Police protection to this area is horrendous and you can expect legitimate complaints to take 30 minutes to 45 minutes. Its nonsense. Furthermore, Flood is a rubber stamp of the mayor. Its time for her to go as well.
The people of the 24th district would have been much better served had they originally chosen Barbara Davis.
ReplyDeleteAny word, Ed, on whether Flood did resign, and if so, who is taking his place?
From what I am being told by sources Flood has not officially resigned. They backed off because of the reports of a plea deal and felt that would jeopardize it. December 1 is the latest target date so it is after election. Why? Who knows.
ReplyDeleteWe shall see and I will keep you informed of any changes.
