In light of recent (major) budget and personnel cuts within Jefferson County Public Schools, we thought it’d be prudent to let our readers know about a rumor (dozens have spammed us with it - many individuals were entirely credible) that Superintendent Sheldon Berman is having his office renovated.

Can you believe it? Another Kentucky agency squandering $600,000 on random crap. Fancy restaurants, gifts, $10,000 on unused hotel rooms, sports tickets and other forms of personal entertainment.
Ryan Alessi has the skinny:
When the Kentucky Association of Counties sent six people to Washington, D.C., in March 2008 to attend a conference and lobby officials, […]

Our praise goes out to House Speaker Greg Stumbo for doing what’s right and for telling the truth: Wait, wait! What’s that? Oh, yes, it’s GREG STUMBO admitting that Keith Hall was the guy who talked to him about the Mountain Water Board shenanigans. Interesting that the C-J didn’t mention that […]

The House & Senate agreed on several new “incentives” in Frankfort. Active-duty military members are now tax-exempt (state), folks trading in a vehicle for a different vehicle only pay sales tax on the difference of value in the two vehicles (wtf?), $5,000 credit for people who buy newly built homes. Not just any […]

Nope, sorry, Felner didn’t “allegedly” take anything. The feds have already proved that Robert Felner swindled millions of dollars from the University of Louisville. He just hasn’t been convicted of anything. [The Quick and the Ed]
