last week's LEO

It was kind of an odd week for LEO...

Jonathan Meador's account of Lt. Gov. and Senate candidate Mongiardo's hilarious proposal for massively subsidized public transit in Louisville. Check it out: Mongiardo wants people in Fargo ND, Concord NH, and Mobile AL to pay for mass transit in Louisville. Cracks me up...
