THE TEA PARTY & HOMEBUILDERS' PARTNERSHIP CONTINUES TO BACKFIRE
It seems like a lot of trouble to go through just so an industry can build lower quality, less regulated sidewalks, streets and homes. Now the agency hired by the NKY Homebuilders to collect signatures against the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission is being sued by Kenton County Attorney Garry Edmonson.
The suit filed in U.S. District Court last week claims that Andrew Chavez, his firm AZ Petition Partners and independent contractors for the firm trafficked in forged documents in order to be paid nearly $100,000 for gathering the signatures.What. A. Distaster. A well-earned disaster.

DEVOU PARK TRAILS FULL OF GHOSTS!
...and other monsters. Today is the Devou Park Trails Back Country Bonanza, an event geared toward the athletic and families. From the website:
The trails are designed, built, and maintained by a joint partnership with the Kentucky Mountain Bike Association, (KyMBA) and the Cincinnati Off Road Alliance, (CORA) under the direction of the City of Covington. The trails are for Hikers, Trail runners, and Off Road Cyclists. The trails are being constructed in accordance with the International Mountain Bike Association Trail Building Standards.
This looks like an amazing event at these new trails. With that development and the proposed Riverfront Commons and the Licking Greenway project, this town could be a hub of athleticism and outdoor activities. Finally.

Madison Place (which houses the soon-to-depart Nielsen Co. and its 600 jobs) is listed as vacant even before the company announces publicly that it's leaving. Is that any way to tell the people of Covington?
