Shaw's LEO piece is a colossus. The rest are relevant, too. Teasers are drawn from the articles.
The Great Barrier, by Steve Shaw (LEO Weekly)
As the bi-state Bridges Authority has denied requests to divide or reduce the project, percolating public frustrations have given rise to incivilities, including claims of business leaders intimidating opponents. The bi-state authority appears committed to its all-or-nothing gambit even after a poll revealed a stunning erosion of support for the total package.
Dec. 8 Will Be, Ah, Yummy! in Louisville, by Billy Reed (Billy Reed Says)
Once you get past the name, the new home for Coach Rick Pitino’s program may well be the finest arena in the nation that has a college team for its principal tenant. It was built to NBA specifications, but there’s no NBA team to share it with the Cardinals, which is just fine with U of L’s rabid fan base.

ORBP cheerleaders have insisted two things: their project is what the public wants and there is no other way.
Neither are true nor have ever been true. Finding themselves unable to make an objective case that their "solution" is the best solution, we get the bullying, PR stunts, and political shenanigans that have become the hallmark of the proposal.
I'm glad to see Sekula and Landmarks speaking out and throwing New Albany further into the mix where it belongs. If we ever get elected or appointed officials willing to stand on transparency and integrity - demanding objective, factual information and analysis in the face of such concentrated spin - our regional transportation conversation will be very different. That is to say, we'll have one.
If things go really well, we might even consider ceasing public subsidies and electoral support for those who've spent so much time lying to us and/or ducking their heads in an effort to avoid that conversation.
