Billy Joe Fudge: Thanks, Rob Wilkerson and Junior Stotts To Rob Wilkerson for his "sacrifice bunt" and to Junior Stotts for "going to bat" with powers that be to secure the turning lanes for intersection at Campbellsville Street/KY 55 & Fairground Street/KY 206. By Billy Joe Fudge Personal commentary In the spirit of full disclosure Junior Stotts is not only a good friend but is my cousin. That being said, I would like to say thank you to him for once again "going to bat" for our community by encouraging the powers that be to exercise common sense. Not constructing the much needed turning lanes at the Business HWY 55 and HWY 206 intersection during the ongoing construction project would have been a missed opportunity and another example of tax-payer money being misspent. No kin to Rob Wilkerson but I want to, staying with the baseball analogies, applaud him for his “sacrifice bunt” in this process. He certainly exemplified a spirit of self-sacrifice in an effort to enhance our community’s ability to grow and help citizen and traveler alike to traverse our roadways in a safer and more efficient manner. I am bewildered at the silence of our elected leaders. Not a peep from any of them in and around "the old ball park." Sorry, I could not help myself. I suppose it is the college world series on the TV in the other room. At any rate, I would have thought something of this nature which has been needed for sooooo long, would have deserved a "high five" or a "post-game" press conference at the very least. I understand the dynamics of politics. Those dynamics are a reality and a necessary evil, I suppose. However, I would have hoped that whether Republican, Democrat, Whig or Tory, we would "for the sake of the team" be putting our community ahead of self or party. - BJF This story was posted on 2015-06-25 04:55:43
