January 24, 200818 yr http://www.kentucky.com/news/state/story/295922.html Same old garbage as we've dealt with for the last 20 years it looks like.
January 24, 200818 yr Well blow me down and call me shorty!!! Policticians wasting money!!! :rolleyes: SHOCKER!!!!!!!!!!
January 24, 200818 yr That is pretty bad. But, I will say this: I found out while staying with a friend for several weeks over the summer that it's a very fast-growing area with tons of traffic and new development going in all the time. May not necessarily need it right this minute. But it will. In this case, they are getting it done before the price to do the work goes up in 2-3 years. That doesn't excuse the fact that it's only a little bit better than a Judge-Executive having the county road department pave his private driveway or street.

Its a high-growth area, but not that huge a traffic area in that particular spot. Certainly not enough to justify this. I wonder if any of the liberal Central-Kentucky newspapers will chime in on this.:sssh:
January 24, 200818 yr Surely you aren't calling a $4,000.00 traffic light corruption? It is a traffic light for goodness sake, and it will make the road safer. Corruption? The process was greased for it to happen faster, but corruption? Was somebody bribed to get the 4,000.00 dollar traffic light? Did somebody have to lose their job or was threatened to lose their job? Does the new secretary of transportation benefit financially from putting the light in? Did his privately owned company install the light and make 3,000.00 of it? Corruption? You have got to be kidding me.

January 24, 200818 yr I agree, it's not corruption. It's just a waste of money to benefit one of the new good 'ol boys.
January 24, 200818 yr Kentucky.Com IS THE LEXINGTON HERALD LEADER, so you can throw that conspiracy theory stuff out the window. My post had nothing to do with the LHL, nor conspiracy theory; it had a lot more to do with a certain local newspaper that Jim and I are familiar with and know the editor. Thus the smiley. Somebody needs to take his happy medicine.

I will try to do better.
