Fayette county has roughly 75,000 illegal aliens living in it.  Those illegals have children going to our public schools (at your expense I might add)  This pandemic of the swine flu originated in Mexico.  Statistics show that illegal aliens live in large groups in a single residence with family and friends.  This makes the spreading of illnesses much easier in these living conditions.  If Kentucky has an outbreak of the swine flu this is where it will spread the quickest in my opinion.  All we have to do is look at Mexico.  Over 100 confirmed deaths there with many many more suspected.  I don’t care if you agree with my politics or not please be careful and wash your hands often and tell your kids to do the same.  I don’t want any legal Americans getting sick.   Read below for more information on the swine flu.

Key developments Sunday on swine flu outbreaks:

• Deaths: 103, all in Mexico. 22 confirmed as swine flu, 81 suspected.

• Sickened: 1,614 in Mexico, suspected or confirmed; 20 confirmed in U.S.; 6 confirmed in Canada; 13 suspected in New Zealand; 1 confirmed and 17 suspected in Spain; 1 suspected in France; 1 suspected in Israel; 1 suspected in Brazil.

Safety measures in U.S: Roughly 12 million doses of Tamiflu being moved from federal stockpile to be delivered to states. St. Francis Preparatory School in New York City, where eight cases are confirmed and 92 suspected, closed Monday and Tuesday. St. Mel’s Catholic School in Fair Oaks, Calif., closed until at least Thursday as officials investigate possible infection of seventh-grader. Fourteen schools in the Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District in Texas, including high school where two cases are confirmed, closed for at least the next week.

• Locations in Mexico: 17 states, including Mexico City, Mexico State, Veracruz, Oaxaca, Baja California and San Luis Potosi. Some, including Oaxaca, Mexico City and Baja California, have tourist areas, but authorities have not said where in these states the outbreaks occurred.

• Locations in U.S.: 8 in New York, 7 in California, 2 in Kansas, 2 in Texas and 1 in Ohio.

• Safety measures in Mexico: In Mexico City, surgical masks given to subway passengers, public events canceled, schools and public venues closed and church services postponed. President Felipe Calderon has assumed new powers to isolate infected people. World Bank is providing Mexico with more than $200 million in loans to help with the outbreak

How is it that Tom Blues sits on the Urban County Council for district #2 but does not have a clue or a care about what happens in his own district?  How can you sit on the council and not know a $23 million dollar building has been made into a $42 million dollar building.  How do you allow a building like this be moved and back up to a neighborhood?  How is it you sit on the council and don’t know that it has happened?   An even better question is how do you sit on the THE PLANNING COMMITTEE and don’t know this is happening?  Maybe you were spending to much time worrying about how to best help illegal aliens instead of looking out for the best interests of your district. 

Tom  were you taking a nap?  Maybe you can blame this on someone else like you did the failure of the downtown master plan at a cost of $500,000 to tax payers.  Another question Tom,  how is it you are on the planning committee but didn’t realize $500,000 of tax payer money was being wasted on a plan that was in your own words “A failure”  That is how I would rate your two years on the council.  A failure. 

I have one last question for Tom Blues and the rest of the council.  where are we getting the extra 20 million to pay for this?  More bonds?  How are we going to pay for this when according to Dr. Stevens we don’t have enough money to keep the trees alive downtown but we are going to be able to pay an additional 20 million for a building we don’t need?

Excluding these bonds we are issuing OVER $500,000,000 IN BONDS THIS YEAR!  That’s right 500 MILLION in bonds!  Hopefully they are not off on the amount they need by 90% like they are this project.  Just for the record the interest on that is over 3.5 million a year.  Also for the record $290 million for the sewer, $70 million to fund police and fire pensions, $135 million for eastern state $6 million for the theater, and there is still more but that is 501 million there.  There is no way this reckless spending cannot force the council to raise your property and payroll taxes. 

Remember on November 4th to Write In Randy Tobia and put a stop to this nonsense

Why is Tom Blues rejecting my open records request?  My assumption is Tom Blues is hiding something why else would he waste YOUR TAX MONEY using a county attorney to defend a position that has already been tried numerous times in court.  This type case has already been tried in court yet Tom Blues and the Urban County Council want to waste your tax dollars to challange an Attorney General’s Office investigation and previous court rulings.  One such ruling for your reading pleasure would be Courier-Journal v. Governor Ernie Fletcher – The Courier-Journal sought copies of all e-mails sent to and from a state e-mail address assigned to one of the governor’s unpaid advisors.  The state denied the request, and the newspaper went to court, obtaining an order that the state disclose all e-mails relating to personnel matters, requests for government action and general government business.

And another

Fletcher v. Courier-Journal – In another lawsuit related to governor’s office e-mails, The Courier-Journal challenged the state’s denial of access to e-mails sent and received from a government e-mail address used by the governor. Again, the court held that The Courier-Journal was entitled to most of the e-mails, but that certain categories of e-mail were protected from disclosure by specific exemptions to the state open-records law. 

So why then would they not just comply with the previous court rulings.  Instead they have now initated stall tactics so the emails wont be released until after the election.  Why would they want to do that?   Hummm smells like someone is hiding something to me

Welcome to Fayette County, Kentucky! Apart from the people actually living in the American state of Kentucky, very few individuals actually take the time to know things about Fayette. This is quite a shame, really, because Fayette County, Kentucky happens to have an interesting story, a story that more folk should actually know about. Located in what is known as the inner Bluegrass region of that state, Lafayette has a coextensive government with the City of Lexington, forming the Lexington-Fayette metropolitan area. Lexington serves as its county seat, but the relationship is certainly more complicated than that. While there is only one city associated with the county of Fayette, it is most definitely home to a number of communities, including the historic Chevy Chase.

Fayette County also has a history worth knowing, one that is of particular interest to those who get a kick out of learning about territorial histories of the country. Quite beautiful in its simplicity, it’s actually one of the fastest-growing counties of the state of Kentucky.

Fayette may not be all that flashy, but it’s nevertheless a wonderful place – it has lovely communities, a proper school system, and an interesting territorial history. And it’s worth getting to know.

So come in, have a look around, and fall in love with Fayette County Kentucky.
