Billy Joe Fudge: We will rise up

'We will rise up with our phones. We will rise up with our computers. We will rise up with our pen and paper. We will rise up until those in Frankfort and if need be Washington, launch an investigation into what appears to be, in the absence of a credible explanation, collusion.' - Billy Joe Fudge

Personal Commentary

Vicki, you said it, "Seriously folks, this is wrong."

And it seems that you are right about it being "wrong," especially in light of decades of silence from the distributors who serve Columbia/Adair County. If there is a credible explanation, we the people of Columbia/Adair County deserve to hear it.

Gas Prices: Where do we go from here?

Personal commentary

Charles Marshburn writes: The Grumblers and Complainers (Whiners and Criers) have now heard from the Jesse James and Cole Younger school of business and gas prices are still inordinately high in Columbia, KY. Robbing from the poor and giving to the rich is not the John Wayne way to do things.
