Well once again Mayor Jerry gets his way with the smoking ban. Make no mistake and try to blame this on metro counsel 100%. Good ole Mayor Jerry like his merger and airport expansion has left the little guy right in his dust.
How in the hell can a government tell a private business owner what they can or can't do when the action is otherwise legal and then exempt Big Brother Downs from this rule?
What a joke. I suggest letting these bullies and idiots know at the polls what we think of their agenda.
Also if I owned a bar or restaurant I would sign every patron up at the door for 1 cent and give them an ID and call my business PRIVATE and give them a 1 cent rebate for joining.
This is total communism, ask Mayor Jerry how much air pollution is spewed daily from the airport that is located in the "Ohio Valley Bowl" Louisville, then ask you own doctor to take a chest x-ray and ask how much "Louisville Muck" (that is indigenous to Louisvillians ) is in their lungs from the airport.
What a total idiot and bully this Mayor is...Hurt local small business, merge government with no benefits to the former county residents and take the houses of the former Highland Park, Standiford and South Park residents right under their noses, and wipe out smoking in all but one coporate business....yeah thats what we want Jerry. How much more is this city going to take of this idiot and his little vision for this town? Lets get this moron out of office along with the cronies of the counsel that support his perfect town mentality.

Joe Watts.... I encourage you and all you fellow business owners to get out and make your vote count.... believe me ... Jerry is very arragant and believes without a doubt he will be re-elected and he has this election in the bag... please go to www.ourmayorjerry.com and view jerry uncovered and get out and vote and spread the word .... www.downardformayor.com

The only regret I have about not living is Jefferson county is that I cannot vote AGAINST Jerry. The whole merger has been nothing but bad news for those out in the county, particularly Valley Station.

What is (are) your reason(s) for saying this, ZOO??? Abramson is expanding libraries and parks in the former county areas. Residents in the former county areas are going to continue to receive a lower level of services dues to their much lower tax rates. (I live in the urban services district and I pay three times the tax of county residents. I get trash, street lighting, snow removal, etc. The charges for aren't broken out separately for me but I do pay for each and every one.
