Fire destroys truck, but driver escapes

By Ed Waggener
Special ColumbiaMagazine.com story

Phillip Cooper, a resident of Hutchison-Loy Road, was near his home in his 1996 Dodge crew cab pickup when it caught on fire. He was able to get clear of the fire, but didn't have time to get anything out of the truck.

"I had some keys in the truck and they must have melted in the fire," Cooper said Sunday while checking for the keys or anything else which might have been salvageable.

Feedback: Ed Pipalski gives his side of bridge delay

LETTERS and FEEDBACK

Dear Ed,

The
"Legal Matter" considered was simply this: the Transportation Cabinet ordered the closure of Highway 80 on October 1, 2007 also allowing the contractor to begin work. The problem was the Transportation Cabinet failed to properly aquire the property prior to begining the project. The state employees and the contractor entered our property and began the project before they had made payment "Just Compensation" and before they had completed "Aquisition"contrary to Kentucky's Supreme Law, the Constitution. An agreement on compensation and aquisition was made in May 2007, but once again "our" transportation cabinet chose an easy wrong over the hard right.

s/Ed Pipalski
