MSD, WHITLOCK, AND MORE!

MSD More disturbing news

A story broke last night about Jefferson County filing the largest municipal bankruptcy in history. Jefferson County Alabama that is. Jefferson County Bankruptcy Why is this important?

Because we have been covering the plight of Jefferson County Alabama for years. They have been one of the models our MSD, led by Bud Shardein, continues to use when explaining the EPA consent decree and the money we in Louisville are on the hook for.

Just follow this link for more on this story. Springston and MSD Unfortunately, we are on the same path thanks to our leadership.

At last count at least 6 officials have been convicted and now serving jail time due to their negligence and illegal dealings with the same financing scheme we are now stuck with thanks to our leadership. Pay close attention to this story as it will hit home hard a lot sooner than we think.

Constable Whitlock story continues

Even more questions arise about the expungement of David Whitlock's felony conviction. The number one question at this point for me is, why did Commonwealth Attorney Dave Stengel allow this guy to be on the street?



Recently ( September 2011) Commonwealth Attorney Dave Stengel fired an Assistant Commonwealth attorney for expunging cases Illegal expungement. Felicia Nu'Man was terminated for expunging felony cases by Dave Stengel. Which begs the question, why was Whitlock's felony conviction expunged?

Stengel says that it is against state law to expunge felonies and fired Nu'Man because of it.

Since Stengel has been Commonwealth Attorney in Louisville, KY since 1996 we have to ask. Where was he during the Whitlock case? We can only wonder.

Stay tuned for more folks!

BREAKING NEWS: LMPD CHIEF ROBERT WHITE GOING TO DENVER

Yep you heard it here first folks. Louisville Metro Police Chief Robert White has been spending major time in Denver trying to secure the Chief of Police job there and I am being told it is official. There should be an announcement later tonight.

Of course with this in mind all kinds of questions come to the surface. What becomes of his son who was jailed recently because of domestic violence involving his wife? The rumored reports of his city owned police car being destroyed by his son at the same time?

More importantly, who will replace White? Will it be his longtime girlfriend Yvette Gentry? Let's hope not as there is PLENTY of negatives there to cover if they even think about it.

In the meantime stay tuned for more on this as it develops.
