Angela Leet for Mayor

This is excellent news for Louisville. Republican Metro Council member Angela Leet has confirmed that she is running for mayor.

Angela is really impressive. She is smart, tough and entrepreneurial and a mother of two boys. She has been one of the voices for common sense in opposition to the inane plan to relocate the VA center to Brownsboro Road.

And she has called attention to Louisville's murder rate, even before most people were paying attention.

She's very personable. She commands respect from across the political spectrum.

After the election, Mayor Greg Fischer will have lots of time to risk his life on all those bike paths he's been building in heavy traffic areas (speaking of which, I saw a horrible accident of bike vs. minivan on Market Street).
