After reading this story, we just wanted to take a trip down the David Williams-Bill Nighbert memory lane…
“As good a friend as I have in the world.”
David Williams said Bill Nighbert “is as good a friend as I have in the world.” –Courier-Journal, July 13, 2005
Williams: Nighbert is a “longtime friend of mine.”
“He’s one of my constituents, a longtime friend of mine, and I think he has a lot of expertise,” Williams said. “I hope he comes over and helps us during the session.” –Courier-Journal, December 19, 2007
Nighbert: Williams “Is a good friend of mine,” He is friendly and supportive of Williams.
In 2006, Governor Ernie Fletcher made a transportation announcement in Williams’ district. “Transportation Secretary Bill Nighbert said he didn’t tell Senate President David Williams about a visit to Williams’ district by Gov. Ernie Fletcher on Wednesday to avoid a public clash between the two…”
“The comments that were made last week by the senator who is a good friend of mine also put some tension there,” Nighbert told the Herald-Leader. “Nighbert said he remains friendly toward and supportive of Williams but must be loyal to his boss, Fletcher.” –Associated Press, July 6, 2006
Herald-Leader: Williams showed up for Nighbert’s arraignment, is one of Nighbert’s Chief Backers.
“Acting Secretary Bill Nighbert, who had been charged with three misdemeanors, also survived the cut,” said a Herald-Leader article on firings.
“One of his chief backers is State Senate President David Williams, who even showed up in July for Nighbert’s arraignment.” –Herald-Leader, September 19, 2005
Williams: Came to Nighbert arraignment to provide moral support
In 2005, David Williams attended Bill Nighbert’s arraignment, saying he “wanted to provide moral support for his friend, acting Transportation Secretary Bill Nighbert,” according to the H-L. “Williams labeled the event a ‘political farce’ and ‘media circus.’” –Herald-Leader, July 13, 2005

The affidavit was given by FBI Special Agent T. Clay Mason to obtain court approval of search warrants for two businesses that Mason said were believed to have records relating to payments made to Nighbert. Agent Mason should also look into the city of Williamsburg Water Park (H.Rogers Park). The city paid for the land then Mayor Nighbert and his friends open up a bank on the same land. Look also at the Williamsburg Post Office. Who brougth this land again Nighbert and friends. I-75 interchange development in Williamsburg again Nighbert has a gas station on this interchange. The so called million dollar Cumberland River Trash gate. Again Nighbert had a interest in this property. He was able to get a sweet deal on this property for a hunting club (You should the members list). The Circuit Clerk Gary Barton and Alvin Sharp just to name a few should be questioned. I don’t thank they are so dum as to lie to the F.B.I. Just the start and this guy never played a game of football. He just was not man enough. Now I understand why his little boy is in so much trouble. The apple does not fall far from the tree. Both son and father want-to-be.
