Current 6th District Magistrate SCOTT DAVIS:
Suddenly nowhere to be found at recent Fiscal Court meetings, oh my !
Without going into all the details, since he's been all over the news lately, and there are plenty of reliable news sources (various links below) to learn the backstory here, let's just state the obvious:
Scott "Ticket Broker" Davis is not what he has made himself out to be to anyone in Oldham County. He has (or was) once again campaigning on his promoting "open and transparent" government...and now we all know he is/was talking/campaigning out of both sides of his mouth.
In the special section "A Guide to the Polls" published in April by The Oldham Era, he submitted the following information:
When asked for his employment history, he replied: "chemical engineer and consultant".
How convenient that he left out that he is (or was) a ticket scalper/reseller for sporting events. Yes, you're a ticket scalper when you set up shop in Indiana to resell tickets to avoid the practice in Kentucky, where such activity is illegal ! So, he failed to divulge ALL of his sources of income to us, and he operates websites that he has gone to great lengths to hide his ownership of. Wonder how long it will take the revenue departments of Indiana and Kentucky, as well as the Internal Revenue Service to come knocking at his door ? Scott Davis is NOT what he appears to be, and no "cheerleader" of his can change the facts or spin this any other way. If you want to resell tickets, fine. Do it legally, with integrity and admit to us all that you do.
When asked the following question, "What accomplishments are you most proud of during your term in office?" he began his reply with "Promoting an environment of open and transparent government."
Well, now we ALL know that he practices the "do as I say" attitude and "not what I do" when it comes to his politics. He has, regardless of the outcome of his current "ticket selling" messes, brought this all on himself and now he needs to do the right thing...resign from Fiscal Court immediately ! He goes out and hires Thomas Clay, a top criminal attorney in Louisville, files a lawsuit against a member of the U of L basketball coaching staff (he loves filing lawsuits, doesn't he?), and his political advertisements have disappeared over the last two weeks in both The Oldham Era and The Courier-Journal "Neighborhoods" sections. Maybe this is a sign that he recognizes the handwriting on the wall ?
Taken from the various stories, he alledgedly owns a luxury condo at The Harbours in Jeffersonville, IN, owns a $3 million dollar company, yet had his Oldham County home in foreclosure last year ? Is this really the kind of person you want to give another four years to on Oldham County Fiscal Court ? I think not.
Oh my, what will his "cheerleaders" / "defenders" do now ?
His "15 Minutes of Fame" (or Shame) are up !
The Observer sees Kevin Eldridge winning this primary contest May 18th in a potential landslide.
