Interesting week to say the least. Power outages (again), sunshine from Abramson, and the King story just won't go away.
KATIE and JIM KING: THE STORY THAT JUST WILL NOT DIE: So many allegations and no answers. This story just keeps getting better and better. Ask yourself these questions.
Have you not considered why Judge and Councilman King rifled through so many attorneys before settling on Sheryl Snyder? Of all the high priced Frost Brown Todd talent, why him? Isn’t he the former president of the Kentucky Bar Association and considered the state’s most renowned appellate attorney?
Isn’t he the same guy who once represented Governors Patton and Fletcher on high profile ethics issues? Have you not wondered why Snyder refused your requests for comment about Katie’s $194,000? What are they hiding?
You recall the billboards, signs, television ads, glossy fliers, negative robo calls, team of campaign consultants and handlers, etc. We all remember it as the most watched and dirtiest judicial race in Jefferson County history. But how was it funded? Was it legal? If not, what are the potential consequences? Just ask Indiana’s Matt Kelty. Once a mayoral candidate, he’s now a convicted felon.
More to come next week on this continuing story.....
ABRAMSON AT DEMOOCRAT MEETING: I really will not waste a lot of time with this story. For more check out Rick Redding's take here We’re Glass Half-Full People Too. Most notable is the fact that Jerry claims 18,000 jobs will be created if we get the stimulus money from the fed. Of course he doesn't mention these will not be permanent jobs and then goes on to talk about retraining etc because not everyone will want to learn how to run a backhoe. Yawn. Is this guy an idiot or what?
TEASER OF THE WEEK: Apparently those darn pesky smoking ban police from the health department really do not know the rules of their own ban. More to come on this next week thanks to an interview with HiView Bingo owner Kaven Rumpel.
INTERVIEW WITH MC PRESIDENT TANDY DELAYED: I had an interview with MC President Tandy scheduled for today at 1 but it had to be rescheduled for obvious reasons what with the weather related problems and City business taking priorities as they should.
The interesting part of this story is the fact that now it seems they want to reschedule my exclusive one on one with a panel of bloggers. Anyone curious why all of a sudden the one on one has disappeared? I know I am.
For the stories the mainstream media and some blogs won't cover there is much to come folks stay tuned......

hey, what happened to John Flood?
ReplyDeleteVery interested in the King info. That was a really shady campaign and it deserves to be looked into. Weren't there ethics charges brought against her by you and others? Haven't heard anything about all the negative borderline illegal campaigning that girl and her dad did. Hopefully it won't disappear now that she's in office...mainly because I feel those two laughed at the legal system, and this community, during that whole election. Hopefully the penalty is more than a fine her dad can write a check for.
ReplyDeleteJohn Flood is officially gone. I am awaiting his next court date for further info. In the meantime we have some great upcoming stories on some other idiots with IPL....
ReplyDeleteAs far as King is concerned Monday I will have the story available and anyone who wants copies of the full complaint can contact me then.
Thanks for the repsonses..
I think it is high time to start prosecuting the actions of all public officials when they do something illegal. Not to mention to remove them all from office when doing anything unethical. Its time for Jerry to leave and same goes for King. Interesting facts being brought to bear on the current situation with their legal and financial wrangles. I wonder if Katie is going to fess to up how she really got the money for her buying of the judge seat. Exactly how do they explain of how one with a 130,000 mortgage and a 41,000 a year job gets the money to start a campaign. Interesting that the numbers do not add up. Much like the book cooking and book rigging of the current mayor.
