The Scandal That Went “Poof”

Filed in National by on January 30, 2009

I really thought that Pam Scott’s NCCo influence brokerage scandal would catch the public imagination and become a much bigger story.

Oh well.

    It sounds like a lot of people in the know denied the allegations and as far as I know it fell into that “he said, she said” category.

    Well, this went nowhere but look at all the fun they are having in my native state of Kentucky.

    Jason,

    You might be right, then again it certainly seemed to spark a lot of talk on other radio stations about Work Force Housing (not that I mind)….and a lot of talk at Leg Hall. I would also not necessarily assume the ethics issue is dead just yet, but we will see.

    It is hard to deny email transmissions.

    By the way, I had a good time at your event last weekend.

    Damn, Randy. I just listened to that podcast of you and Hollins-Clark. Clark really comes off as one, angry, defensive, more-important-than-you type of person. I guess I can understand the defensive part, but leave the others alone.

    BTW, one thing I did not hear any of those out-of-touch-to-constituent fools mention was from their explanation of density. When it was covered, Clark said with one-dwelling-per-acre, you need 100 acres for 100 homes. He then said for two-dwellings-per-acre, you only need fifty acres for 100 homes, leaving the other 50 available. What a jackass, because that ordinance (which is the part neither of them touched) reduces open space to a fingernail’s size, when compared to a whole hand. The way Mr. Paul Scot—Clark said it, he absolutely inferred open space, but in reality, open space is far down the list of requirements. If it was important, why was it significantly, HUGELY reduced?
    Just needed to shine some truth on his embellishment there.

    The Tunguska event of 1909 wasn’t investigated until 1927. When something happens in a remote area — in this case, a Sussex-based online “radio” station — it takes a while to generate attention. Or, in simpler terms, if a tree falls in the forest and very few people hear it, the news takes longer to spread.

    Besides, what effect can the information have? As far as I’m aware, there is no recall mechanism for any county (or, for that matter, state) elected official.
