Thoughts about some council races:
At-Large Seats: Steve Kay and Jim Gray, Well I’ve got two wise men for the Council at Large, I’m still waiting for a third, or maybe a wise woman.
District 7: While I can’t say I’m wild about Justin Dobbs for this seat, the idea of K. C. (Kristin Catherine) Crosbie, (wife of Scott Crosbie, not to confused with KC and the Sunshine Band) is a non-starter for me.
Crosbie, a charter member of Women Republicans of Central Kentucky, was appointment by Ernie Fletcher to the Kentucky Crime Victims Compensation Board and the Kentucky Board of Claims. These basically do nothing Board appointments really don't qualify her for the Council.
District 8 and District 9: George Myers (this is still an ethics violation) and Jay McChord are both sub-par performers. The question is this, will either of these guys be able to do anything if Mike Scanlon is not there to tell them what to think. Someone, anyone run against these guys.
District 10: Scott White a former Kentucky Assistant Attorney General would be an excellent addition the Council. Here’s a sample of his thoughts
