The Paducah City Council decided to not issue any kind of reprimand to the Paducah Police Chief as a result of his violating Dept. policy by using his handgun to bust out a window during a raid. The reason given in the paper was that it would require a formal charge and a formal type evidentiary hearing.

Uh, isn't that called "due process?" The question I have is whether or not the field officers who have been cited negatively for doing the same thing or something even less had the same kind of "due process" in the adjudication of the claims against them?

I think that Channel 6 has crossed the line by making commercials part of the news. In two days this week, masqueraded as a news story during the formal news broadcast, commercials for McDonald's new coffee products and for Dollar stores were aired. Not just in the morning either - but both in the morning on the local "Today" show and during Paula Bridges' show in the afternoon. Let's keep the news to news.

If, in fact, Channel 6 is getting money for this, they need to disclose it to the public so we are fully informed as we choose which news shows to watch.

Steve Beshear isn't even sworn in yet and the Paducah Sun is already after him. A bit of sour grapes, perhaps? Afterall, the Sun did drop the "Democrat" part of the "Paducah Sun Democrat" which is what it used to be called. Ha Ha!

Unlike our U.S. President, who probably never was fairly elected, and if you accept that he did, only won by the smallest of margins but actually acted like he won a large victory, Mr. Beshear won an impressive victory. I can't say that I agree with all of his positions, well I know I don't. But he's got a lot of political capital. But, gosh, give the guy a couple hours of being governor before you start the personal attacks. He may, (well it is possible?) end up being a good governor.
