Ooooh, this is juicy. Central Bank refuses to refund KACo’s $890 in STRIP CLUB charges. And you know banks refund charges like woah when warranted. Why won’t KACo just admit its folks paid to go to strip clubs? Why should the organization be allowed to continue to waste our tax dollars to investigate why the bank won’t refund the charges? Too little, too late. [Ryan Alessi]

Republican Patrick Duerr, a financial advisor and president of RixSix, LLC (which isn’t registered with the Secretary of State and he’s not listed as an officer of any business), is running for the State House in the 41st District against Tom Riner. Guess Duerr doesn’t realize he has no chance against Riner because he has 800 children who will haul the entire gerrymandered district out to vote. That and his wife is allegedly skilled at vote buying and rigging party elections. [Patrick Duerr]

4% more to be cut from state agency budgets? That’s what the state budget director said in a letter sent last week. [Tony McVeigh]

Take notice, Frankfort. This is what we should be doing all over the Commonwealth. That is, if you weren’t busy screwing the state. The Green Building should serve as a model for innovative and sustainable development across Kentucky. [Paving the Road to NuLu]
