Louisville, KY – Kentucky Ag Commish Jamie Comer is under fire. According to a CJ report there are questions surrounding Jamie Comer due to a $2.5 million loan to Louisville-based Charah Inc. who opened a factory that turns scrubber waste into sulfur fertilizer.

Experiencing a violent crime rate of 2,137 per 100,000 of the population, Detroit is the nation’s most dangerous city. Rounding out Forbes magazine’s 2012 list of the 10 most dangerous cities are St Louis; Oakland, Calif.; Memphis, Tenn.; Birmingham, Ala.; Atlanta; Baltimore; Stockton, Calif.; Cleveland; and Buffalo, N.Y.
