COLUMBIAMAGAZINE.COM LETTERS & FEEDBACK
Response to:"It is time to develop all of Kentucky to its potential," by Ralph Waggener

To Ralph Waggener c/o ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Many thanks for the history lesson, Ralph. I too wondered why the C-J writer took the strong stance he did and I think you gave a lucid and plausible explanation (or exposition).

I also remember the early days of what is now I-65 as I traveled extensively in the late 50's thru mid 60's between Montgomery, AL, and Ft. Wayne, IN. However, I was ignorant of some of the historical and political background you provided.



It's sad that the Courier with all its available resources and geographic location seems doomed to be nothing better than a 3rd rate rag primarily read for local sports coverage and little else.

Hopefully, the pols in Frankfort and Washington realize that only a very small part of their daily dose of Kentucky corn bread comes from L'ville and they would be on a very strict diet indeed if they choose to feed only at that trough.
