  Robert Adley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert James Adley (2 March 1935–13 May 1993) was a Conservative politician in the United Kingdom.
Adley was educated at Uppingham School and became a company director.
Adley was well-known as a railway enthusiast, and as such was often perceived to be something of a romantic Tory.

 Robert Kostelka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert William "Bob" Kostelka (born February 18, 1933) is a former district attorney, district judge, and circuit judge, and, currently, a conservative Republican state senator from Monroe, Louisiana, who has represented Ouachita, Lincoln, and Jackson parishes in Senate District 35 since 2004.
One of his colleagues, Robert Adley, a Democrat from Bossier City in Bossier Parish, affectionately referred to Kostelka as "my lawyer." Adley's remark came when Kostelka slipped Adley a note during debate, which said that a compromise on an oil cleanup bill was almost completed, and the issue then before the Senate should be tabled.
In 2004, in his first term in the Senate, Kostelka sponsored an amendment to the Louisiana Constitution to limit the meaning of "marriage" to the union of one male and one female and to forbid same-sex unions.

 The Daily Advertiser - www.theadvertiser.com - Lafayette, LA
Adley said the trial lawyers, who have joined with large property owners supporting Gautreaux's bill, want to control cleanup so they can make more money.
Opponents of Adley's bill, Senate Bill 655 which was narrowly approved 4-3 by the Senate Natural Resources Committee Thursday, say DNR is too tight with the industry and has lax regulations that resulted in so many environmental problems.
Adley's bill calls for restoration to the same condition as before exploration began, free of pollution, abandoned equipment and signs of use.

 Robert Jermyn, Quaker
Robert's second (or third?) marriage was at the Quaker Meeting House at Tasburgh on 11 Aug 1692 when, as Robert Germy, widower of Brooke, Yeoman, he married Ruth Booty, daughter of John Booty, Yeoman, a Quaker of nearby Stratton St Michael.
Robert and Ruth appear to have had no issue although Ruth lived to 1710/11 when she was buried in the Quaker cemetery in Tivetsall - as Ruth Jermyn, wife of Robert Jermyn - on January 21.
Robert died in 1720, being buried on 3 June that year in Tasburgh as 'Robert Jermyn of Hempnall' (where, we recall, Margaret was earlier buried).

Adley, 55, earned 45 percent of the vote in the four parish district.
Adley and Lott, both Democrats, now have less than a month to get back on the campaign trail and stress the issues they deem important to Louisiana and in particular Senate District 36, which represents all of Webster and Bienville Parishes, most of Bossier and half of Claiborne Parishes.
Adley, an ex-marine and businessman, served for 16 years in the Louisiana House of Representatives before running for governor in the 1990s.

Gautreaux said he would attack Adley's bill on the Senate floor by questioning how much it would cost -- a sensitive topic because lawmakers are often reluctant to support bills that could expand the state budget.
Opponents of Adley's measure also believe DNR is too friendly with the oil companies and would routinely rule in their favor.
Adley, who is in the natural gas business, testified that DNR needs to be the new arbiter because the current system results in too many lawsuits, delaying actual environmental cleanup.

 Adley wants more notice on truck stops - Bossier Press-Tribune Online
According to Adley, the problem presented to him was that there was insufficient public notice preceding the meetings even though public notice was given in the Bossier Press-Tribune, the official legal journal of the parish, and through signage posted in front of the property in question.
Adley’s bill, if passed, will increase the amount of pubic notices an applicant is required to give via newspapers, television and other pubic announcements.
Adley said he proposed a similar bill several years ago that requires governmental bodies to purchase ad space in the official journal of a parish as well as a larger circulation paper if they decide to roll their taxes forward.

 2theadvocate.com | News | Pollution bill debate stops for talks
Sen. Robert Adley, D-Benton, suspended a showdown debate Thursday over who should handle the cleanup of land polluted by oil companies.
After two hours of debate Thursday, Sen. Robert Adley abruptly asked the Senate to wait until next week to decide whether the state’s court system or a state government agency should decide how best to clean up land that was polluted by oil companies.
Adley, who calls Kostelka “my lawyer,” said the former judge’s note asked him to suspend debate because the two sides were close to working out a solution.

 Rescue in 1977 mine flood in Schuylkill County offered reason for hope
Ronald Adley, 37, walked under his own power from Kocher Coal Co.'s Porter Tunnel Mine near Tower City.
Before the nine men in Quecreek Mine were found alive last last night, Gov. Mark Schweiker told a press conference that, from above ground, the condition of the miners was "probably an unanswerable question," but the governor and David Hess, secretary of environmental protection, continued to cite Porter Tunnel as their reason for hope.
It was his tapping that told rescuers Adley was alive.

Adley said his SB655 is a balance between state district courts and a state agency.

 Compromise reached on oil-field cleanups
The bill by Sen. Robert Adley, D-Benton, deals with "legacy sites," in which landowners have leased property for oil and gas drilling and later sued for alleged contamination from oil-field wastes and saltwater.
In 2003 the Legislature passed a law requiring that judicial awards for groundwater damages be placed in the registry of the court, ensuring that the money would be spent on cleanup and not just pocketed by the landowners.
Adley accused landowners of seeking lucrative back-room deals in local courts while leaving the pollution for future generations.

 Rivals unite on bill to clean up oil fields
Adley had been working both with and against Gautreaux earlier this month as they wrestled over amendments in the Senate, which passed the measure.
Adley's bill, favored by oil companies, places more emphasis on the Department of Natural Resources rather than district courts to determine the method of cleanup.
Adley agreed to allow some minor but important changes to the bill on the House floor, Gautreaux said.

What followed was a bombshell by Oakridge Republican Sen. Robert Barham and others, who alleged Boudreaux essentially rigged the selection committee to ensure UL System President Sally Clausen, also Boudreaux’s girlfriend, would replace Jenkins.
Both Adley and Lafayette Republican Sen. Mike Michot suggest Blanco’s upcoming board selections may be telling, which is why Adley hopes the appointments are made in time for the board members to be approved by the Senate during this regular session, which ends mid-June.
Robert Adley and Robert Barham were quick to expose the Boudreaux-Clausen relationship and have remained vocal about protecting the LSU System.

I should say here, though, that what Adley said is not necessarily true, as he offers no proof for his claim.

BATON ROUGE - The public should have more notice than just a paragraph in small print in a secluded section of a newspaper and a small sign posted on the side of the road when a video poker truck stop is to be built, says Sen. Robert Adley.
Adley, D-Benton, said a truck stop development in Bossier Parish "caused a huge controversy for us" because nearby residents missed the notice of intent to build the facility.
Adley said publishing the notices in "a small weekly newspaper in Bossier Parish" did not adequately notify residents, so the operators of proposed truck stops should have to publish larger notices and sent press releases to the largest publications that circulate in the parish.

Adley offered the legislation specifically to prevent homosexual couples from taking advantage of the homestead property tax exemption.
The legislation — an overhaul of the homestead exemption provisions in the constitution by Sen. Reggie Dupre, D-Houma — was originally drawn up to ensure that widows and widowers who have adult children will not lose their homestead exemption.

Adley said Monday that his reason behind the language change has been widely misinterpreted and misunderstood by reporters.  He said he offered it to keep the issue from becoming entangled with the homosexual rights debate.
Dupre agreed that getting the bill out of a Senate committee might have been more difficult had Adley not changed the language.  The resulting backlash over the language, however, may also have endangered the measure, he said.
