Courier-JournalJanuary 8, 2012 - I am shocked, if not downright appalled, by Andrew Walker and the Family Foundation's recent op-ed opposing bullying protections for children in our schools. In it, they characterize efforts by our state legislature to pass an anti-bullying statute as a “tyranny of tolerance.” The only truly tyrannous act in this situation is the blatant and irresponsible disregard for the lives of our youth who have hopelessly, helplessly suffered from relentless bullying and harassment — many to the point of suicide.

Courier-JournalOctober 14, 2011 - After more than an hour of spirited debate Thursday, Louisville Metro Council Democrats passed an ordinance granting an exemption for union contracts to a city law requiring financial impact statements be submitted with contracts that spend unbudgeted money. The ordinance was passed in front of a packed house of vocal union workers who applauded loudly after several statements made by Democrats in support of the ordinance, which passed 16-9.
