Paint Lick Flood of 2010

We had a very exciting day in Paint Lick yesterday. Congressman Ben Chandler and Garrard County Judge-Executive John Wilson made their way through each of the businesses in downtown to see firsthand the damages caused by the May 2, 2010 flood. Following them was an entourage that included Channel 27 news, local newspapers and photographers, business owners, and local residents. They both assured Paint Lick that they would do everything they could to help both the residents and businesses that suffered damages from the flood. Such help may come from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. While the Congressman and the Judge-Executive were at the Copperhead office, I took the opportunity to hire them both as summer interns. I am eagerly looking forward to having both of them knee-deep in a pond capturing bats.
