“...POLITICS AND PAYBACK...” $185,000.00 CASH REWARD

Most Rowan County elected Officials and their staffs, have earned our respect, trust, and appreciation.

“Would you let someone build a fence on your property?”-- (Their property, but 10 feet of our front lawn) Fiscal Court Bluegrass Trust Do Most of them realize that Attorney (C) accurately described the Fiscal Court’s reason for denying our Variance as PAYBACK/POLITICS? Politics for supporting Doc Blevins’ successful candidacy for Judge Executive, and Payback by denying our variance. Do Most people realize that Attorney (C) now denies saying “POLITICS & PAYBACK”? Do Most people realize that Attorney (D) put in WRITING that Attorney (A) confirmed that Attorney (C) made the statement that Attorney (C) now denies making? Do Most people think Attorney’s (A), (B), and (D) are all lying? Why would they, all millionaires, with all that to lose? Do Most realize Attorney (C) will not address the situation voluntarily; do his colleagues need to conduct a vote of no confidence in him, and demand his resignation, if he does not unlock the truth from his prior testimony? Do Most people in that Courthouse realize that only 3 are needed of the 5 to vote to correct this injustice?

Do Most realize that Whi$tleblowers can score a big WIN for truth and justice. HOW? A very few individuals know the TRUE FACTS about POLITICS/PAYBACK in this matter. Contact a lawyer you trust, and that lawyer can join with ours to get the true facts of politics/payback to a judge.

Thank you, readers of these papers, for your continuing comments, your growing support for us, and for the truth!
