Kenny Absher: Wants a leader of vision leading Columbia By Kenny Absher Personal opinion of the commentator Good for you. Dr. Ben Arnold. The city has gone so far down the tubes with its current status quo and the business owners have suffered long enough. I know I shop in Russell Springs and Campbellsville, but a leader with vision can bring prosperity back home. Also as a county resident, taxation without representation is wrong; waiting like they did was wrong so no one else could run. They are just self-serving bureaucrats caring only for themselves. Kenny Absher, Cane Valley, KY Thanks, Kenny Absher - Agree with you on needing leaders with vision; but not the attribution of selfish motives by those who voted for The Tax *(what most are calling a Payroll Tax or City Income Tax - the euphemistically self-style "Occupational License Tax"). My memory is that there was still time to file when the matter was first brought up. Whatever the outcome of this election, we're still all going to be Columbians - a few may leave - but I hope every candidate will agree that they will work with whomever is elected Mayor and that whomever is elected to the Council will have similar outlook. And that no one moves, nor any beginning entrepreneur gives up on Downtown Columbia because of the tax's instrusiveness. From talking with a mayoral candidate who reached out to asked me what I what I thought, I think that candidate would agree as well. Listening to all sides is important, I think. I believe most voters would agree. No one has a monoply on good ideas. Voters at the very least want to be respectfully heard - not lectured and told - EW *Remember searching for INSURANCE TAX in past City of Columbia Budgets, finally having to ask, and then being told, "Oh, that's in "Licensing & Fees."?
