He received his AB BJ degrees from Washington Lee University, an honorary Doctor of Humanities from Company keeps 2-route contract By Jon Fortt HERALD-LEADER STAFF WRITER The LexTran board of directors voted last night to let United Transportation continue to run two bus routes in south Lexington. Four weeks ago, the board voted to end the $140,400 contract, but Mayor Pam Miller called board members and asked them to reconsider. "The mayor mentioned United Transportation's history of having helped Lex Tran in Frankfort," LexTran board chairman Rick Christman said yesterday.
United Transportation is owned by James Hamilton, the father of State Treasurer John Kennedy Hamilton. Before becoming state treasurer, Hamilton was president of the company. The eight member board voted 3-2 to give back United Transportation's two daytime LINK routes in south Lexington. Miller could not be reached for comment last night. United Transportation has a monopoly on Lexington cab service.
It also had a contract to run five routes for Lex Tran, the city's public transportation company. But July 15, the board voted to end United Transportation's contract and pick up all five routes as part of the expanded service announced Tuesday. A week after the board's vote, Miller called him, Christman said. He said it's the first time he can remember the mayor getting directly involved in the board's business. LexTran Executive Director Stephen Rowland said Miller called him within a day after talking to Christman and said the same thing.
He disagreed with the mayor's request, but is an ad hoc member of the board and does not have a vote. Christman and Rowland said they were unaware of the company's history of helping LexTran at the state capitol. But Neill Day, who has been on the LexTran board for 15 years, said yesterday that when the city was in some tight spots in the past, United Transportation used its influence to get LexTran state money. Day voted to give the company its two day routes back. Christman and Rowland said the contract would have been history if not for the mayor's calls.
The LexTran board already had sent United Transportation a letter saying the entire contract was over as of Aug. 17. Rowland said he felt obligated to consider the mayor's request because she has been generous to LexTran i in the past. "We get a lot of money from the city," Rowland said. "It's about $2.5 million of our $5 million budget." Fleming man dies in wreck HERALD-LEADER STAFF REPORT John E.

problems seemed to begin when Rison nearly drowned when he was 1 year old, said psychologist Peter B. Schilling. "He fell into a mop bucket headfirst," Schilling testified. "He was brought back from the edge of death with CPR. That brings up the possibility that he suffered some level of brain damage as a result of oxygen deprivation." a Rison thinks society is conis spiring against him, Schilling said.
