For Wasting Tax Dollars, Wall Street Has Nothing on the Kentucky League of Cities

The League calls itself a "non-profit," but the truth is that its funding comes right out of the pockets of Kentucky residents, in the form of "dues" that its member cities pay out of their tax dollars.

What Jake calls a "Hot Mess" is putting it mildly.

It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for. State Auditor of Public Accounts Crit Luallen just released the audit of the Kentucky League of Cities. I have just two words for it all: HOT MESS. Before you write those two words off as immature or over-hyped, I suggest you stick around to read everything I’m about to share with you.

Because the 30 findings and more than 140 recommendations are just mind-boggling.

I spent all night reading the audit and examining everything that occurred under Sylvia Lovely’s (who referred to herself as the Britney Spears of Central Kentucky in her resignation letter - because she really is toxic) leadership (lack thereof?).

Under the blind eyes of people like Jim Newberry and Jerry Abramson. My mind is blown. These people are insane, corrupt and should be tarred and feathered.

This level of waste, fraud and abuse is sickening. The egotistical manner of the sheer corruption involved is much worse than that of the Kentucky Association of Counties. It’s all been referred to state and federal law enforcement for further review. Matters have also been referred to the Internal Revenue Service and Kentucky Departments of Revenue and Insurance. This is Kentucky’s worst nightmare.

In summary: Kentucky is effed all to hell thanks to these ridiculous people who waste our tax dollars. It’ll never change if you keep voting their crony pals back into office. Learn from these mistakes and let’s move this Commonwealth forward.

The only question left is which of the big three is going to win the race to the U.S. Attorney to cut a deal by turning on the others.
