Former CHDO head John Miller running for Louisville Metro Council.

When last we glimpsed John Miller, he was presiding over the disintegrating remnants of New Albany's CHDO, which is a sad story overall, and one told previously in this space.

Linden Meadows bubbled to the surface again a few days ago: New Albany Sewer Board won't go after Linden Meadows tap fees. About the same time, Bluegill gave a heads-up that Jake at The 'Ville Voice blog had taken notice of John. None of us knew that he is running against Louisville's iconic 9th district Metro Council rep, Tina Ward Pugh.

Spoiler alert: Jake's assessment is not pretty. I'll let TVV speak for itself:

Tina’s Opponent Breaking Campaign Finance Law



As one or the other pop culture wag once mused, it gets "curiouser and curiouser" around these parts. If not for the topical application of Progressive Pints, I'm not sure how we'd make it through the night.

Thanks for the update, interesting.

I left Jake a couple comments on his mean-spirited postings. He's not the first to get all worked up that somebody is challenging good ol' Tina.

She's been in office 12 years, and was the aid before that.

Time for a change.

(Too bad they couldn't find anybody good to run against her. They had to settle for me!)

Jake moderated my comments away.

Kinda sad . . .

Tina's one of the few voices of sanity over there, John.

You're off base with your "time for a change" bit.

John Miller said...

That's the common wisdom, Jeff. I thought so, too.

And no doubt, there are things we do agree on, but upon further examination, a different picture comes to light.

There are a number of cases like that on the Metro Council—one reason I advocate term limits . . .

So does this mean you're going the LaRouche route, too, John?
