Letter: BJ Fudge asks CM readers opinion on tax issues To ColumbiaMagazine.com: I watched a KET Program recently which featured four Kentucky Legislators. One gentleman on the panel who is an economist continually focused on two ideas. One was that the wealthiest in our state are not shouldering their fair share of the Commonwealth's tax burden and the other is that a sales tax is an unfair tax and should be repealed or lowered.

Letter: Reader amused at CM clone expose' To ColumbiaMagazine.com: It is cold, wet, muddy, icy and ugly out. We fed 18 horses while we slipped and slid around. Then I read the Magazine online and the blurb about the Larry Smith clone and just laughed and laughed. Thanks for the humor so early in the morning on such a miserable day. s/Pam DaileyMcNeiley Thanks. The radio company is still sticking to their story that there is just one Larry Smith. It is hard for us to believe. We just wanted to be the first to expose Shoreline Communications on this one, if we're right. Our suspicions were raised because no one has as much energy as Larry Smith 1, (the Real One on WHVE) and Larry Smith 2 (the bizarro one on the Big Dawg) are purported to possess. If we're wrong about the hypothesis and there is only one Larry Smith, we'll apologize. And, if we're right about the mad scientist at Shoreline, they deserve a Nobel Prize for creating a clone which is also a good guy. Lots of these experiments go awry, especially in the Balkans, you know. -EW 2008-12-16 10:25:58 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
