November 2, 20169 yr No, it's not. You really don't want Gray. He talks out of both sides of his mouth. He has placed the employees of Lexington-Fayette Urban Co. Government in tough situations. Much of his balancing of budgets has come on the backs of the employees. He has attacked the Police and Fire Pension. While Lexington doesn't control the pension, he has done what he can to burden those receiving the benefits. He was finally able to do away with the COLA's. Another thing he has done is cheated the firefighters of Lexington to money they are duly owed. For years the city didn't calculate the OT rate correctly. In 2005 a lawsuit was filed by members of the LFD to force the city to pay them their back pay they were owed. The city has fought this every step of the way. Since Gray has been mayor it has been extremely hard fought. Every other city in KY has settled and paid their back pay, except Lexington. Finally the Court of Appeals told Lexington earlier this year that they lost yet again in their appeal and it would be a good idea to settle. Gray is anti-union. In a word, he sucks. Hmmm ... interesting. You are a union man and a Trump man?
November 2, 20169 yr Author Moving from a 3:1 to a 2:1 underdog in only 5 days seems like a pretty sizable jump to me. I think Trump's lack of a strong ground game and early voting will be hard to overcome, but if he continues to stay on message, Hillary's lead should continue to evaporate. If he can avoid any more 3 AM tweeting binges, he still has a shot at winning, slim as it may be. Something tells me that you're not paying much attention to this thread. This is the chances of the Senate flipping.

November 2, 20169 yr Hmmm ... interesting. You are a union man and a Trump man? There are unions that are needed. We were way behind in public safety in Lexington compared to other cities of similar size. We needed the union to get better pay. Here's how bad it was in Lexington, collective bargaining was approved by the State Legislature with only one dissenting vote out of both houses and was signed into law by a Republican governor. Let that sink in for a moment. Trump man? Not really. He is the only one with a snowball's chance in Hades of beating Hillary, therefore, he gets my vote. I will never vote for HRC under any circumstances.
