David Williams. David Williams. David Williams.
Yay, road contracting family!
Also, Julian Carroll for his real estate shiz.
And like the entire House Dem Leadership, for holding jobs they can “work” for in the legislature.

Steve Karem…pension hound.

State Sen. R.J. “Gets Drunk and Vandalizes Opponents’ Campaign Signs on Election Eve” Palmer. How much money does his family’s business, Palmer Engineering, pull down from the state in a year? R.J.’s daddy has stated that he will spend whatever it takes to get his son elected governor when the time is right.
Honorable mention to Fat Harry, John Will Stacy and any other legislator that is an employee of a state university or a public school system.

Care to make nominations without personal attacks?

Ask around Winchester and/or Mt. Sterling about Palmer’s behavior prior to the primary when he first ran for that seat.
Unless you’re talking about Moberly, and in that case I stole that moniker from someone else.

Jim Host of the waterfront arena fame.

I’m nominating Senator Mitch McConnell and Former U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao.
I honestly don’t know how they came to have a net wealth between $10 and $30 million dollars in their life of public service, but based on their public salaries, it couldn’t have been from their 401k contributions.

Jake if the award is for long term I am with Curt–it’s hard to beat those numbers. But Jake, are you more interested in short term performance–say last 12 months???
10 Marty // Aug 7, 2009 at 4:51 pm
End the BS awards already!!!
11 le gardien de but // Aug 7, 2009 at 4:52 pm
Berman–as superintendent he was well paid & steered $$$ to his own private companies…

Isn’t it cute how people still have difficulty realizing that… if you don’t like it, you don’t have to read it?
and le gardien: short-term, long-term, any term is fine.

Gotta be Keith Hall. I think his hand is permanently stuck in the cookie jar.
14 Curt Morrison // Aug 7, 2009 at 8:23 pm
Jim Host, damn. That was a good one, Steve. Imagining what his total commission kickback was on a $700 million bond…he’s probably kicking McConnell’s butt!
15 Steve Magruder (I, not D or R) // Aug 7, 2009 at 10:03 pm
Yeap, Curt, I think when all is said and done Host will have made out like a bandit. Why else all the opaque dealings?
16 Obie One // Aug 10, 2009 at 10:01 pm
These awards are stupid.
17 jake // Aug 10, 2009 at 11:16 pm
Aww – how cute. Thanks!
