Jefferson County Republican Party: BESHEAR BUMBLES INTO A POTENTIAL "JERRY JUMBLE."
Below is the Jefferson County Republican Party's press release:
BESHEAR BUMBLES INTO A POTENTIAL ‘JERRY JUMBLE’
Louisville – Two days after the filing deadline, Gov. Steve Beshear appointed Jefferson County Attorney Irv Maze the next Circuit Judge of the 30th Judicial District, Division 10. Since the appointment was delayed beyond the August 12th deadline, Mayor Abramson under county law will appoint the next County Attorney without a vote from the people.
“There is no doubt this was orchestrated by the Abramson and Beshear administrations and is another example of Mayor Abramson going over the heads of the voters so that he can place his cronies into office,” said JCRP Chairman Brad Cummings. “When given the option of either allowing the people to choose or making decisions behind close doors, Jerry always goes with his own self interest. And of course, given his recent track record in staffing important positions, the citizens of Metro Louisville can be assured the next County Attorney will enjoy at least a Kimberly Bunton-like success.”
Although there is nothing in the law that says this appointment could not be delayed, there is plenty of evidence to prove that this has been part of the public discourse for several months. In an article dated June 9th, local journalist Rick Redding reported that ‘Gov. Beshear is likely to choose a replacement for Circuit Court Judge Kathleen Montano in the next few weeks and the name that tops his list of choices is Jefferson County Attorney Irv Maze.’
“Mayor Abramson could have pushed for this appointment to be made so that the people could have their say,” said Cummings. “But Jerry would rather add the County Attorney’s office to his list of Metro Government puppets. The bottom line is that when it comes to the democratic process, Mayor Abramson is anti-choice.”
