Lunsford/McConnell debate

If you're interested in viewing this morning's Lunsford/McConnell debate at Receptions, click here.

Note how Mitch has flip-flopped on the Brent Spence bridge. Now he says he's against tolls. But as the Enquirer's Dennis Hetzel put it on March 1, 2008:

[T]he positions taken by Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and some of our local and state politicians... would inevitably push primary responsibility for funding the Brent Spence Bridge replacement to state government and newly created local entities.

The State of Kentucky obviously doesn't have the money. So, if those folks get their way, the only realistic alternatives are tolls or new, higher local taxes to support bond payments.
