ADVERTISING, FUNDRAISING JUST SEND US MONEY LOL

Some have asked if I would allow advertising on this site. For a couple of months now I have been wrestling with that question myself. I cannot express how appreciative I am for the readership of this blog and the massive support it has received. It is because of this that I even have the question before me of having advertisers.

Heckuva problem to have isn't it?

I must confess my initial reaction was to never use advertisers on this site. I do not want to feel like I "owe" anyone. I have the Mayor I guess to thank for that mindset. I also must admit I do this for free for the people. It is totally enjoyable and I love every minute of it.

With that being said, I have to admit that this blog has become a full time job in itself. And does cost money used for open records requests etc. My wife thinks I am nuts and cries every time I hit the checkbook for the blog. Seriously I will get you pics!

In the interests of marital harmony (after 25 years of marriage I better be nice huh) I have decided to forgo my initial hesitation about selling ad space on this site or asking for donations. As much as I know money is tight for everyone it is also tight for us as well. We live here too. Funding is a necessary evil to continue getting the message out to each of you.

It also is a necessary evil to continuing working full time on this site. In order to take us to the next level I need to get freed up to attend all the garbage, I mean meetings etc, that the Mayor does during the day. This means working towards this blog as a full time paid job somehow. I hope you understand.

With all that said anyone interested in advertising, or making donations, on Louisville News and Politics can simply click here contact me. Or call me at (502)742-8519.

I mean hey if I am going to beg I may as well beg everyone huh?
