The news of the last few days regarding the so-called "purchase" of the Executive Inn in Paducah has gotten more bizarre in the last few days. In a number of local news reports, it's come out that Parsons is being sued elsewhere for similar promises he has made to complete hotel purchases and renovations which he never completed. http://www.hotel-online.com/Neo/News/2009_May_30/k.PAM.1243876345.html

This is just one more example of how mismanaged the Paducah city government is. Just the fact that the incompetent city manager keeps his 6 figure salary while good, minority city leaders were laid off as the city continues to spend money on non-necessary things, like cleaning up for Parson's promises, says plenty to me.

It's time for the Paducah city council to do the right thing. Have some courage and stand up to this incompetence. Make the changes that have to be done. If not, this city hasn't come anywhere near seeing it's economic bottom. That will be yet to come.
