The Third Annual Golden Poo Awards kicked off yesterday, so be sure to click here to make nominations for the first category. It’s your chance to give back to the folks who “run” this state. You know the bill of goods they constantly sell you doesn’t flush, so you might as well remind them of it with an award.
Here’s the second category, so have at it:
To nominate someone, please leave a comment on this post. Be sure to detail exactly why they deserve the award. If you can make it funny? Please do so.
Make it happen! There are absolutely dozens (hundreds?) of people working in government who deserve a nomination. But we’re sure the absolute best will float to the top.

Steve Beshear
Kentucky has, is and will not move forward with a Governor who stands still. His only accomplishments are to shuffle budget dollars around and ignore corrupt agencies of government.
Stand Still = Fall Behind = Fired

Gov. Beshear is not an appointee.

Joe Meyer. The Mount Vesuvius of flaming assholes.

Charles Gevedon. He should know better than to shake down state employees for campaign contributions.
Mike Hancock and Trinta Cox. For firing people whose families didn’t cough up when asked to give to Beshear’s campaign and who knew too much about Chuck Gevedon’s previous shakedown efforts.
Bob “Blue Bluegrass” Layton. Just for being a douchebag in general.

Got to be Joe Meyer like Jocko says–mean, nasty, egomaniac–and thank you Gov Beshear for allowing him to cause so much misery to so many across the state-Now he’s going to spend a ton of taxpayer money to create a monument career center in his home area–lots of money for nothing but a tribute to his ego–

Hands down, Mayor Fischer for promising to make Louisville a no-kill community during his campaign – in an effort to get voters. And for the lack in actually doing anything to achieve that goal, and actually making the community worse, by hiring inexperienced leadership at LMAS and his own metro government (i.e. Sadiqua Reynolds). He refuses to answer citizens’ questions or concerns and spends taxpayer money on projects that will benefit very few people, but “look good.”

I nominate Chuck Geveden. This guy somehow was fired from a non-merit state job making $93,000 per year. He was in charge of the KYTC Office of Transportation Safety and apparently this place has turned into the Wild West. Since Geveden was fired, his Director, Assistant Director, and Branch Manager have also been fired. Along with 5 merit employees being suspended for one day without pay.
Last two fired were merit employees. That is virtually impossible. This place has become the most mismanaged Office in the Beshear Administration.
This place has become the Black Hole of KYTC, sucking the life out of any good being done by the Cabinet. This shows total incompetence on a
Galactic scale.

I think all the news stations should get an award for the over usage of the word “PENIS” in the past couple of days.
10 Animal Lover // Aug 26, 2011 at 11:18 am
The person that did oversee the animal shelter for Louisville. It would be too much to write on here about how screwed up that place was/is and the incompetence displayed by their director. You know all the details Jake….

Dr. Neal Richmond from LMEMS -appointed by Jerry Abramson took 2 nationally recognized EMS services and made them into one “world class” joke. Managed to get rid of all the experienced employees with a brain and kept the ass-kissers and flunkies and hired a bunch of new people that in some cases were fired by the previous services. Is out of town more than in trying to find a hospital that will let him practice medicine. Works the staff to exhaustion and them wonders why they fall down. Does not have a clue how to manage employees and has alienated almost every other public safety agency in the area. Will not left the few people left that give a shit make decisions or change anything. Looks like a street person, does not even meet the published grooming standards for his own agency.

Dear God and baby Jesus,
Please let Jake pick Joe Meyer. He is oh so dirty-not only has his family made a quick buck from his appointment, his friends have too. Lots of contract work being done by his old friend at a software company.
Amen

Sadiqa Reynolds, any day and twice on Sundays. A “judge” who makes such rash decisions and willfully ignores so many rules, statutes and laws is dangerous but deserving… of this award

Len Peters for being in the pocket of Big Coal, to the detriment of the Commonwealth.
