Just Go Away.

Of course Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer should resign, if for no other reason than persistent incompetence, although you're advised to deploy a Galt House-sized grain of salt when digesting today's purely partisan GOP no-confidence measure.

At the height of the BLM protests, I was paying attention nightly to District 19 councilman's Anthony Piagentini criticism of Fischer from the right; Piagentini would have called in the black shirts if allowed. Lots of quasi-Peronist ambition in this one, don't you think?

It's true that Fischer's "bourbonism" mantra has ceased to cast a spell; he'd bungled matters hideously, and it's hard to imagine that any substantive bloc of support remains.

Fischer just needs to go away, but the push certainly doesn't need to come from the fascistic opposition. Democrats need to do it, and they won't.

Welcome to L'America.

The legislation will be assigned to a committee, where it could be voted on next week and sent to the full Metro Council for its consideration as soon as Sept. 3. It has no Democratic co-sponsors ...
