 Over the holidays I had the opportunity to travel across some of Kentucky’s highways and have to say that Bullitt County has THE WORST ROADS in Kentucky, HANDS DOWN.

I just don’t get it. How is it that Bullitt County has JIM BEAM, AMAZON, ZAPPO’S, PUBLISHER’S PRINTING, GORDON FOODS, LOWE’S and a new WAL-MART under construction (to name just a few) and ALL THOSE TAXES are going where?????

 Some people have been wondering if I am going to run for election to political office in 2014.

Me too, frankly.

Only God knows what the future will hold, but I have finally decided to not run.

Additionally, my wife and I have changed our political affiliation to “Independent.”

That decision alone probably assures the end of any hope to serve in elected office.  But we agreed that we see so much negative, so much blind politics, from both major parties today that we really no longer wanted to be tied to either.

 At the most recent Pioneer Village City Meeting the Mayor of Fox Chase remarked about trouble that several people in the City of Fox chase had caused. The mayor was vague in his criticism of these unnamed residents of Fox Chase. This gave me some concern. When our mayor has criticisms of our residents it is important to me and others to understand the nature of those criticisms so that we may address any and all issues.

 As we celebrate and feast with loved ones over the holidays, many of us wish to give back and help others.  Often, we struggle to find the time and the means to do so.  However, this Thanksgiving, there is something everyone can do that costs nothing, takes less than a minute, and gives hope to thousands of children, adults, and their families, in need.
