Ditch Mitch KY

Thank You Mark!

Shawn Dixon July 2nd, 2007

The team at DMKY is sad to learn that BlueGrassReport.com, run by Mark Nickolas, is shutting down.

We want to take this opportunity to thank Mark for his tremendous service to the state of Kentucky during his time here. He paved the way for progressive bloggers in Kentucky and was in many ways a pioneer in the blogosphere, building one of the most successful state and local blogs anywhere in the country. Our work at DMKY is enhanced by the great community Mark helped to build.

The team at DMKY is optimistic about the state of progressive blogging in Kentucky. Over the past few months many of you have offered up your support and advice on how we can continue to build a better blog here and we appreciate it and ask you to keep it coming!

The great thing about the blogosphere is that it’s people powered, driven by readers. As we move forward, we hope that you will help DMKY build upon the increasingly strong progressive online community in Kentucky.

While the impetus for the website stemmed from the need to defeat Mitch McConnell in the 2008 elections, as we have grown, so has our mission. DMKY will continue to cover all areas of state, local and when relevant, national politics for Kentucky. We hope you will use this blog as your outlet for expressing opinions, ideas and beliefs in the coming months and years – even well after we defeat Mitch McConnell in the next election cycle.

Thanks again for your support! We look forward to the dialogue!
