Geez. 7 a.m. seems kind of early. Can’t we make it 7:30 like all the others?????
My apologies on the error about the time Rooster Booster begins. Thanks for catching that.
Someone might ask Mr. top staff member; Did you sell your interest in the ofice condo in Lexington, you share with one of Kentucky’s leading Lobby Firms owned by an ex state official, Bob Babbage?
Isn’t that a conflict of interest from te Governor’s office?
No, never mind that would be bad manners.
A reliable government official has related that Chief Justice Minton, has reviewed the BONDING SHORTAGE BY CODELL CONSTRUCTION COMPANY and finds Codell is in violation of the required bond and will/ has been notified to pay up.
Yes, most projects in the Justice Cabinet by Codell Construction Company of Winchester have not posted proper bond. This shortage was made public last week in an article by the MSM.
The written demand has been issued by Chief Justice Minton and compliance is expected post haste. Chief Justice Minton, is a very firm man.
The Chief Justice made no mention of being contacted by Attorney General Jack Conway. AG Conway is Kentucky most recent hat to land in the ELECT ME U.S. SENATOR Pile.
I find it difficult to understand how Attorney General Jack Conway did not spearhead the drive to make the CODELL COMPANY pay up way before it became public. He or his staff knew what was occurring. However he made no official action. Perhaps, at the advice from OTHERS in the current administration who knows for sure, but the administration people in particular Jonathan Miller has to have known this bonding was not posted. Will they admit it?
NO!
Did he care?
Apparently not.
Codell is a powerful name in Kentucky politics.
It is perplexing how one very rich, former Secretary of the TRANSPORTATION CABINET chose to allow his company to ignore the statue, keep the money and not pay up the thousands that were required by law, until it became a public issue?
Chief Minton should also note; but did not, at this time.
As a result of the action by those seeking projects for the Justice Centers or Justice Cabinet, not be allowed to bid on further jobs for the next year. But, with a Big Senate Race ahead, the current administration will not allow this kind of action to go forward.
Adam, dude, I’ll have fries with that, my man.
