Commish launches war on TANK

It's truly hard to believe that people allow this shit.

Longtime Campbell County Commissioner Brian Painter - a Tea Party favorite - is launching a war against TANK, of all things. Recently, the Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky added an east-west bus route along I-275. Now Painter wants to reduce the Campbell County portion of the route and remove service to the Cold Spring park-and-ride.

The job of public officials is to represent the people's interests. But, like always, Painter is doing the exact opposite. Because libertea, don't ya know.

Painter also repeated the stale right-wing trope about seeing empty TANK buses everywhere. Maybe if service could be restored to places like Silver Grove, the buses wouldn't be so empty. Where was Campbell County Fiscal Court when bus service to Silver Grove was cut? Pooing?

We're supposed to tolerate this? C'mon, let's show some pride in our county. Campbell County needs its own SYRIZA - not more force-fed Tea Party slop from the likes of the county Republican machine.
