Where is the leadership in this state, Jake?
Nine THOUSAND homeless children in Jefferson County alone, children dying of child abuse and obesity-related disease in Kentucky more often than anywhere else, Louisville having the worst municipal carbon footprint, our mountains being destroyed and our watersheds being poisoned….that’s one Hullabaloser of a team, eh? Mayor Jer, Swishy Mitch and PawPaw, poseurs nonpariel. How do they sleep at night?
Where are the real innovators, the social entrepreneurs, the true public servants?
Seems like even those with potential find somewhere better to serve (Hej, Matthew Barzun!)
The state I love is better than that.
