tracker7Amy McGrath won the Democratic primary for US Senator. Charles Booker had one hell of a good run, and I do not think we've seen the last of him. McGrath had the national-level party support, and only managed an 11,000-vote margin of victory out of about 470,000 votes cast. I'm not excited about McGrath - she lost a general election for the Sixth Congressional District a couple of years ago - but, damn, anyone but McConnell.
Demonstrations continue. Monday, a group blocked the Second Street Bridge for a few hours - all quite peaceful. Yesterday, there was an outbreak of blue flu - or swine flu, as an acquaintance put it - and a small number of cops called in sick in a west division. Didn't stop their fellow officers from using a Lenco BearCat to ram and run citizens' vehicles off the road last night, though. Another sickout today, too.
A story in yesterday's C-J had a comment from a LMPD officer that they want the bad ones removed from the force as well. I want to believe him, but, well, yeah.
