Late last week, the sycophants inhabiting Team Gahan circled their rickety wagons and condemned the Courier-Journal for not somehow compelling Jeff Gahan to return phone calls.
Jeff Gahan texts Greg Fischer: "OMG, the CJ called, LOL."
Shunning the C-J is inexplicable, but for Gahan to duck David White's frequent invitations to publicly debate the issues is all too understandable. The mayor is incapable of improvisation, and simply cannot hold serve in unscripted settings. Team Gahan knows this, and shelters him accordingly.
We might appeal to the Democratic Party chairman, but Adam Dickey is anything but neutral. He sits on the Redevelopment Commission, instigator of TIF-funded capital projects designed to serve as re-election photo ops. Gahan's corporate attorney, Shane Gibson, manages the party's money. The incumbent's campaign war chest is sufficient to spend in excess of $10 per voter, with cash left over to buy multiple rounds of Bud Light longnecks at the Roadhouse.
David White is on the outside looking in -- into an incestuous political fix, that is.
Hell no he won't debate because he is a programmed spineless bought and paid for politician with a 4 year record of failure and he knows it. Adam Dickey as party chairman should demand it but as you clearly pointed out, he has major conflicts of interests, you forgot to mention his wife is in charge of sewer billing because Gahan fired Kelly Welch as a political favor to Dickey.
ReplyDeleteWhite should debate an empty podium, maybe Gahan's campain dogs will show up in his stead
It should be celebrated that he will not accept the debate. The refusal to face a challenge speaks volumes
ReplyDeleteGahan is gutless, come on Jeffy boy step up to the plate and quit dodging
ReplyDeleteThe volumes are negative btw
ReplyDeleteGahan is so far negative I don't think there is a negative # known to man that can quantify this gutless wonder.
