Hal Rogers, EKY Get Huge Wins This Week

While many left wingers babble about economic growth in EKY, Congressman Rogers delivers the tools to get it done. He's helped clean up more streams than even the most ardent tree dwelling environmentalist (Pride), provided more means of drug treatment than the most charitable social worker (Unite), and created more high tech jobs... than the Kennedy's ever have with their gobbledygook about replacing coal with the "jobs of the future."

See this story from BusinessWeek:

(A snip)... U.S. Congressman Hal Rogers called yesterday "one of the most exciting days in the life of The Center for Rural Development."

He and several other local officials gathered at The Center on South U.S. 27 yesterday morning for a dedication ceremony for the newly relocated and enhanced Network Operations Center (NOC), which provides highly secure data and server storage services for the online infrastructures of hosting and data clients throughout Kentucky and the United States.

And this story from the Herald Leader:

(A snip...) A company that owns coal lands in Eastern Kentucky has pledged to donate $500,000 over five years for substance-abuse treatment.

The pledge from Kentucky River Properties LLC to Operation UNITE is the largest single private donation to the agency since it was formed in 2003, UNITE spokesman Dale Morton said Tuesday.

UNITE provides vouchers to help pay for treatment of addicts in Eastern and Southern Kentucky.
