As past-president of the Kentucky County Judge-Executive Association, I endorse a candidate for office only after careful consideration and measurement of that individual. In the Democratic primary for United States Senate, one candidate measures far above the others in the field: Greg Fischer.

Greg has a sincerity and desire unlike anything I have seen in a great while. He’s running for all the right reasons, to better Kentucky, to better our nation and to brighten what has now become a dim outlook for our future

Kentucky has a rich history of sending individuals to the U.S. Senate who embody the best ideals of our nation, whose actions are guided by the principles of liberty and justice and the betterment of all our citizenry. Such individuals as Clay, Barkley, Chandler, Cooper and Ford never lost sight of Kentucky or the people they represented.

I am convinced that Greg Fischer is such a person. He is not seeking the limelight of political office. Nor is he seeking the seat merely to wield power. Greg Fischer is seeking to make a difference and to serve our entire Commonwealth. I heartily recommend a vote for Greg Fischer in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate.

Tommy Turner,

Larue County Judge-Executive

Americans need to change attitudes
There’s something inherently wrong with this country’s societal standards when a mother is harassed and humiliated for breastfeeding her child in public, while any partial or complete display of the same woman’s breasts in the media or on the street for the purpose of sexual objectification would seem acceptable to many Americans, male and female alike.

Near miss on super prediction
Let’s take a step into the past my seven faithful readers and review some predictions made in this space in early September. (Too bad it wasn’t late September and we could borrow the line “should be back in school.”)

Redistricting plans equally indefensible
I don’t know how Franklin Circuit Judge Phillip Shepherd will rule in the re-districting case. Nor am I a constitutional attorney, so I can’t say with any authority the maps drawn by the Democratic controlled House to benefit Democrats or the one drawn by the Republican Senate to benefit Republicans are constitutional.

Comer sets good example
Newly elected Ag Commissioner Jamie Comer, a Gamaliel Republican, requested an audit of the department upon his taking the position earlier this month.

Fortis will be good partner
I put shoulder to the wheel in search of photos Thursday morning. First, there was an ancient bread van parked amongst some saplings on the side of which there was a woman’s name painted in white, puffy letters. Whose van might that be and I wonder if it comes with the for sale property?

Farewell to Gatewood
As word spread of Gatewood Galbraith’s passing, the same phrase was heard repeatedly: “Gatewood was a colorful character.”

Computers should make records easier to get
The digital revolution was supposed to make record-keeping easier and less costly for companies. Therefore it should make things simpler for the public or news outlets seeking open records to find them.

Resolutions for the new year
New Year’s is the time for resolutions, a lot of which won’t last until spring.

Things to rejoice this Christmas
The year that will soon lapse has been tough. It has been a year of immovable politics; a year of contentious state elections; a year of absurd gesticulations by certain fiscal court members.
