Jim Gray is also the head of a large corporation.If his company did business with a company that did business with etc there'd be links to all sorts of people. 6 degrees of separation. +40 years ago, I was friends with the son of a guy who worked with Nehru. I actually met the father. So, I have a 1 degree of separation with Nehru and 2 with Gandhi. You can find meaningless links to anything and everything.
A commenter above moaned about Gray's "progressivism" as if the mayor of a town like Lexington has any scope for such things. A mayor of a town like Lexington has around 10 big ticket budget items that he has to find the money for. Not a lot of progressivism in filling pot holes and making sure the garbage gets collected.
