Would Anyone Like for A Fraternity to Move In Next Door?

Of course not. Yet that’s exactly the nightmare of some wonderful established residential neighborhoods with adjacent properties being turned into 9-bedroom fraternity boarding houses near the University of Kentucky. These are the same sort of deathtraps that frequently are heated by space heaters, waiting to burst into flames from misuse of the electrical systems. Lexington has been willing to allow the well-connected slumlords to play russian roulette with the lives of the students, and to allow them to destroy the quality of life for entire neighborhoods by ignoring the laws against unregulated commercial boarding houses. Dennis Duross (aka Pigs in the Parlor) has a wonderfully well-documented example of how the laws are being abused by the slumlords and ignored by the city’s regulators.

Privatization is just another means of bribery.
Watch the money circulate; mcconnell is most public about it. He funds 200 million of ear-marx and within about 6 months there’s 200 thousand in donations to: his PAC, U of L mcconnell center or campaign fund to re-elect the creep. I realize that $’s into the U of L dodger aren’t tracked, but the center has long protested the record of his largess.
In a way dealing with the republican’ts is like taking a Gold in Olympic skating — they’re good, but they’re persevering on reputation and we’re always better, but they own the judging.
