New Albany City Council to take final vote on One Southern Indiana funding Monday
What has Coffey miffed is the political wing of One Southern Indiana, specifically the recent endorsements of candidates by the organization of candidates seeking office in November.
“I don’t care if they come out for all Democrats or all Republicans, it’s wrong to me,” Coffey said.
Endorsing candidates or stumping for political issues are suspect moves by a group asking for taxpayer funds, he added.

Coffey calls it: "I’m disappointed that it seems like [One Southern Indiana] is a political action committee.”
The Tribune's Daniel Suddeath sets the stage for tomorrow evening's first of two officially scheduled October meetings. 1Si's request for funding has been twice approved by 5-4 votes, but the third reading comes after the agency broke with precedent and endorsed a slate of candidates.
