Are you interested in learning more about the candidates for the new Louisville/Jefferson County government?  In the next couple of weeks, we will be posting the candidates' answers to a 20-question questionnaire.  Watch here for more info.

Is A New Hyundai Plant Worth $123 Million to KY Taxpayers?    by Theresa Fritz Camoriano    Crit Luallen’s smiling face graces us on the front page of the newspaper, as she expresses her eagerness to give away $123 million of our hard-earned tax dollars to attract a huge Hyundai plant to the state.  Her other major project has been to spend the past year pushing an initiative to severely restrict the property rights of all Kentucky landowners in order to preserve farm land and green spaces.

Crooked Inspectors and Crooked Cops    by Pat Pending    Recently, here in Louisville, we have had examples of all kinds of corruption of government officials.  This is not just regular old politicians' lying, helping out friends, and skirting around the edges of the law.  No, what we have seen lately is crooked enough to be really illegal.  We have bridge inspectors demanding that bribes be paid before they will approve work.  We have police emptying the wallets of illegal immigrants, police charging the taxpayers for work that was not done and making phony reports.

Now That The Fight To End the VET Appears To Be Won    By George Baumler    Now that the fight to end the VET appears to be won, don't expect the losers to surrender peacefully.  To supporters of the VET, more is at stake than emissions testing, that being a docile and obedient populace.  If the citizens are able to throw off the shackles of the VET program, there's no telling what could be next, and this is one thing that makes the central planning forces desperate.

Bill to End VET Testing in Jefferson County Passes the Kentucky State Senate and is on its way to Governor Paul Patton!     by John Riley       We have been waiting a very long time and our efforts have paid off.  House Bill 618 passed in the Kentucky senate today (3-25-02)!  HB618 will end vehicle emissions testing (VET) in Jefferson County as of November 1, 2003 at the end of the current contract with Gordon-Darby, Inc.

Something for real Americans to ponder    By  John William Kurowski,  American Constitutional Research Service       Amazing, simply amazing, that a St. Petersburg Times Staff Writer, KATHRYN WEXLER, has unearthed something which real Americans (those who believe in and support an adherence to the principals and provisions set forth in their state and the United States Constitutions), knew long ago when the Americans With Disabilities Act [ADA] was nothing more than a proposed bill, and thoughtfully predicted the bill should have been titled the Lawyers Full Employment Act rather than the ADA.

THE COURIER-JOURNAL’S AGENDA     By Woody Oakes    Will the Courier-Journal ever accept the fact the people of Jefferson County along with the Kentucky Legislature don’t want the VET and have loudly said so in several different ways?  The House voted overwhelmingly 89-7 to abolish the VET, so I think it’s time for the Courier to just get over it. 

Real reform – not McCain’s “let’s keep the incumbents in office” reform    by Ed Lewis    Well, Senator Feingold, McCain, and their associates failed miserably.  How in the world do any of the people of this nation believe that reforming campaign finance requires control of the First Amendment?  Are the people of the nation that stupid?
