ARLINGHAUS SUED BY COUNTY ATTORNEY EDMONSON
Things sure seem awkward these days out at the Fiscal Court. The latest, a lawsuit filed by Kenton County Attorney Garry Edmondson against Kenton County Judge-Executive Steve Arlinghaus:
Edmondson alleges in his lawsuit that Arlinghaus purchased goods and services and ordered county employees to renovate second-floor office space without securing Kenton Fiscal Court’s approval, and later presented claims totaling $11,194.78 for materials already installed, in violation of state law.Arlinghaus denies the claim and in turn accuses Edmondson of offering mixed advice on the issue.
Before that, Edmondson said some initial bills totaling $10,583.57 for the second-floor renovation project were paid, but the contract for that work had not been authorized by Fiscal Court, as required. He said the latter payment was brought to his attention after one of the county commissioners raised the issue at a meeting.

UNAUTHORIZED TRAILS BEING MARKED IN DEVOU PARK?
The Devou Park Trails Facebook page offers this warning:
Trails are in great shape. We have noticed someone hatching bark from trees and then marking the trees with orange spray paint. Some trees are on the trail, some are off trail on deer trials. It seems as if someone is visibly marking an unapproved trail. If this person thinks it is OK to mark rogue (unapproved) trial on City property, I am not sure why they would not use ribbon or other non invasive means. Why slice up trees?. Permanently marking trees, or marking/building unapproved trail (rogue trial) is not allowable in Devou Park. The authorities have been notified. If you see anyone with marking or looking like they are marking trees, please call the police. Also ask them to please stop, Thanks. The Covington Park Management and The Devou Park Trial stewards.|

AN UPDATE FROM STATE REP. DENNIS KEENE
The Wilder Democrat who represents Campbell County's river cities offers an update on this final week of the General Assembly legislative session:
Beginning last Wednesday afternoon,, I met with legislative staff to tie up several loose ends. On Thursday, beginning at 8:00 a.m., I met with my office staff to go through correspondence and finish up other business. Then, I met with Don Pasley, Commissioner of Rural and Municipal Roads, where I believe I found some great opportunities for our district. Thursday afternoon I met with the head of Homeland Security, Gene Kiser. We talked about needs for the Wilder and Southgate Fire Departments.More at the link.
