Sad, so young, rest in peace Josh.
ReplyDeleteWhoo, what happened? Was he fighting an illness? Praying for his family and friends.
ReplyDeleteHe recently had a heart attack at the Dem. caucus where he was elected Dem. chairman.
DeleteSad day for Jeffersonville and all the lives Josh touched. God bless his family!
ReplyDeleteThis makes you realize just how important life is and how insignificant other things like politics really are. I believe Josh has a wife and 2 small children. My sincere thoughts and prayers go out to them. This is a real loss for our community Josh though I never met him seemed to be and what I've heard was a passionate, caring, good man ...a real loss for his family and our community...Rest In Peace Josh ...
ReplyDeleteTo whom will his position go to now ?
ReplyDeleteI assume there would be another caucus to elect a new chairman.
DeleteGeeeezzz Chris' (SMdamnH.......)
Deletejust announced, an' the dude ain' even take'n care of yet.....izit REALLY 'at importan'....WHO git'sa damn chair?......
r'member 'is day.....NOBODY's tomorra's guarranteed......all'is p'litical horseshit really 'at important?......I don' think so......
Wouldn't Vice Chair Katie Miller become chair?
DeleteThe vice chair usually becomes chair. They will have to caucus for a new vice chair I believe.
DeleteI barely knew Josh but could tell he had a huge heart and cared for his community in a way so few can. This county will certainly miss his love and passion for it. :(
DeleteWave 3's my homepage,'at where I 1st hear'd tell of it.... :/
ReplyDeleteI don' much mix up in'a political jargon/arguments, but.....I 2nd whut HT says....
damn....young dude...TOO young...
Condolences to Josh's wife, and young'ns.... :(
RIP Josh R.............
Well said Biker. I'm only one year younger than Josh. It certainly makes me reflect.
DeleteSo sorry to hear this. Prayers and thoughts sent.
ReplyDeleteTragedy, such a young man praying for his family.
ReplyDeleteMiller is Acting Chair. There will be an election for Chair within 30 days. There will be a caucus to fill his council seat as well.
ReplyDeleteBat Blog Council Update
ReplyDeleteRon Elis ran and finished very close
to third in the 18,000 votes cast race in 2015.
Ron is the frontrunner, and rightly so, for the city council position.
Fairness Dictates his appointment by the precinct organization.
Mr. Ellis will do a very good job for Clark County.
It seems that both Ms. Miller and Ms. Conlin
ReplyDeletehave serious injuries from falls.
We hope they are both doing well.
Josh's wife Meredith was by his side throughout his campaign and she is just as involved in the betterment of the community as Josh was. No question but that she should be offered Josh's seat and she has the heart and brains to be a wonderful public servant.
ReplyDeleteRon Ellis will fill the vacant at large seat. If Meredith runs in the next election, I will support her 100%!
