It says a lot of positive things about your character and truly lets me know that indeed you are one of the good guys.<br /><br />Cam- Dick Irby just did a piece on fox41 concerning JAVANON. The Board decided to let the building exist but added 17 restrictions to use. Essentially those involve what hours it can be used, lighting restrictions, etc.<br /><br />Your story is one that is all too common for many of us in the community. I recommend legal help seriously. There are so many blatant examples of the Board deciding one way for things like JAVANON and another for private homeowners. You should have a field day.Louisville News and Politicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06304053439681295941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157051350798517553.post-89066364797404670682009-04-20T15:49:00.000-04:002009-04-20T15:49:00.000-04:00I'm really interested to learn about the decis...I'm really interested to learn about the decision on the illegally built buidling for Javanon. I had a pool and a deck installed in my backyard last year and one of my nosey neighbors decided to cowardly contact the City of Louisville to inform them of my pool/deck. I did the BOZA thing and stood there and took my insults from the likes of Judith Francis, Leah Stewart and Mike B. Needless to say, I lost and I lost my appeal for reconsideration which means that I now have to uproot my $13,000 pool and deck after getting permission from LG&E and AT&T for having it there. I can honestly tell you that I have absolutely no respect or regard for this organization because of their unwillingness and inability to listen and understand reason. If we're going to have people regulating rules then have people on the board that know and understand business and people. Once anybody hears the verdict, please post. I REALLY NEED TO KNOW.

This was a matter that I took very personally to be reported incorrectly. There were issues in the original blog about why we were on the property, what the nature of the violations were, and who was involved where. My personal & professional experience with the named consituant went a little differently than what was reported. After emailing Mr. Springston, I received a phone call asking myself to contact Mr. Springston directly to get my side of the story. <br /><br />After a 25 minute long conversation with Mr. Springston, I was pleasantly surprised. The conversation went in a completely different direction than what I had expected. Mr. Springston made me aware that he had researched my professional record, speaking with several constituants (including the one who wrote the letter to the mayor to complain about my smoking) he then apologized to me and showed me that he is a true man. A man who will stand up for what he thinks is right, & admit when he's wrong. You can't fault a man for that. Yes, I was smoking with my back turned as she came to the door. It was a bad call. But I did not blow smoke in her face & it was extinguished as she opened the door. And after the letter was sent to the Mayor, the constituant apologized to me personally, stating she was having a bad day and being picked on. This was also verified to be true by Mr. Springston. I always try to treat people the way I would want to be treated if they were to come knocking on my door. With "RESPECT" With "INTEGRITY" With "DIGNITY" while they were a visitor at my home or place of business. And I commend Mr. Springston for looking into my professional background to see that 1 complaint in 5 years overrode multiple compliments on a regular basis. I also appreciate the fact that he acknowleged that I am one of the good guys.Frank Gavlinskinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157051350798517553.post-74695559403726247642009-04-14T01:32:00.000-04:002009-04-14T01:32:00.000-04:00You anonymous guys always amuse me. Of course I co...You anonymous guys always amuse me. Of course I could out some of you but why? That would indeed hurt the integrity of this site and myself since I assure confidentiality when folks speak with me or comment. As a matter of fact thanks to an email I received from Mark Speed and then verified by Mrs. Leo you will note the correction that starts the article. That is integrity. Correcting a mistake. <br /><br />But I digress. <br /><br />I will say this. Anyone with half a brain knows that 2 elections lost does not make one bitter. In fact choosing to run for Mayor has nothing to do with bitterness. I always agreed I had no chance to win against a machine with unlimited money and resources. Sadly, our elections do not allow true competitiveness. Incumbents always have the advantage and outsiders will not win unless they are rih and can buy the election.<br /><br />Running was a way to make sure the issues were discussed openly for the voters to insure that for once we would have answers on the issues not hide behind the normal deceptions in races. I accomplished that as was the intent.<br /><br />Slanderous lies? Even Frank Glavinsky admitted he was smoking when on the porch and that he was wrong for doing so.<br /><br />I must say this much though in Mr. Glavinski's favor. I have been researching him for a few weeks now and all indications are that he is one of the good guys overall and as fair as he can be. Other than this one time incident. As I have stated before most are good guys. I know a few inspectors myself and understand that they work with impossible management, and in a very stress filled work environment thanks to idiotic policies they do not control.<br /><br />By the way. You may want to rethink the "safety" aspect of the blog you accused me of hiding behind. <br /><br />No one who cared about safety has ever called out and submitted the kinds of evidence I have against the heavy hitters. They certainly do not put their name on it as I do.<br /><br />There is no safety in that completely the opposite. <br /><br />So continue on your rants without facts to back it up and thanks for making me the highlight of your day.Louisville News and Politicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06304053439681295941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157051350798517553.post-53827300326153856582009-04-14T01:17:00.000-04:002009-04-14T01:17:00.000-04:00Metro 3 points to be made. 3 answers.

Regulations as defined is: Regulation refers to "controlling human or societal behaviour by rules or restrictions."[1] Regulation can take many forms: legal restrictions promulgated by a government authority, self-regulation, social regulation (e.g. norms), co-regulation and market regulation. One can consider regulation as actions of conduct imposing sanctions (such as a fine). This action of administrative law, or implementing regulatory law, may be contrasted with statutory or case law.<br /><br />This is terminology not necessarily us differing on intent.<br /><br />2. According to the article in regards to Mark Speed I stated this: A sign face change, not changing the sign but the wording on it only, does not. Inspector Mark Speed decided to issue a stop work order against Tuscany restaurants for some violations they had concerns with. Fair enough. <br /><br />Unfortunately, Mark Speed decided that the stop work order should include the FACE change being done by Leo and Son' s sign company as well thus he violated his own regs. <br /><br />Mark Speed's work was done as a commercial inspector and in conjunction with the stop work order in regards to Tuscany Restaurants.<br /><br />The change to Michael Baugh was made after the Leo's wrote to the Governor and Mayor about their problems with IPL. <br /><br />Admittedly the sentence leading up to this included Mark Speed as one they had a personality conflict with. He was one among the entire IPL conflict but not the only one. I meet you halfway on this point. Interpretation of the sentence.<br /><br />3. i never said IPL had anything to do with JAVANON. I blamed the Board of Zoning as appropriate. Reference the beginning of the article: A warning? Are you serious? This guy has been warned before and still built a building illegally due to the incompetence of the good old Board of Zoning. <br /><br />Thanks for the comments.Louisville News and Politicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06304053439681295941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157051350798517553.post-23460881945930182452009-04-13T19:31:00.000-04:002009-04-13T19:31:00.000-04:00Mr Springston, its easy to see why you were a cand...Mr Springston, its easy to see why you were a candidate for mayor and never mayor. One side of story isnt news and its largley inaccurate.I have read your blog once and it was so far from the truth it boggles the mind. You seem to be very bitter because you cant get elected that you have retreated to the safety of the blogosphere where you can spew your lies and hate without regard to facts or truth. Im surprised that a learned man such as yourself would print anything without fact checking at least some of it if truth or integrity was of any interest. You sir are a disgrace to bloggers around the world and should be ashamed that you have completley slandered someone you have never met or talked to. Life must be very easy for someone who believes that only one side of a story is all that is needed to form an opinion. The really sad part of it is that your opinion just doesnt matter to anyone because of the inaffectiveness of one sided whining, nobody with any self respect places any value on the rantings of a bitter blogger who cares nothing about truth and cannot tell the difference between fact or fiction. Good luck with your blog and I really hope your hate filled factless rants play out well for you. Meanwhile I will continue to live in the real world where truth and integrity really do exist, good day to youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157051350798517553.post-69007002257304004872009-04-13T15:47:00.000-04:002009-04-13T15:47:00.000-04:00I have 3 issues with this posting.1.

It is impossible that Baugh took over for Speed because of a personality issue. Speed is a building inspector, Baugh is a Property Maintenance inspector. Two very different divisions.<BR/><BR/>3.The way a "building this size" was built is because there was a permit issued appropriately. The approval for the plan from PDS was in error, pointed out by the lawyer in you last post. IPL had no reason to question the approved plan when submitted to the construction review staff.Metro Hackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967989005244565757noreply@blogger.com
