Gahan AWOL as city council discusses the school referendum, voting machines and precinct boundaries.

Pillsbury's on ice, so the mayor has been returned to his cryogenic storage tube.
As so often is the case, with nothing "official" on the agenda, last evening's council klatch was transformed into Potpourri for a few million, Alex.

Downtown elementary schools.

(What are things we close so other schools become crowded and require fresh bond issues to reconstruct?)

Voting machines.

(What are items the city must buy because Mark Seabrook prevents the county from doing so?)

Precinct boundaries.

(What are ever-shifting, amorphous lines kept vague on Mark Seabrook's orders?)

And so on, and so forth, and forever we drift toward Eastridgeocracy, or government by dump truck-wielding wealth extractors.

Read all about it, courtesy of Daniel Suddeath, who in mid-meeting tweeted this:

Three of four mayoral candidates at tonight's New Albany council meeting. We're just missing the incumbent.

That's what I'm saying.

NEW ALBANY — One item of business fed off the other Monday, as the New Albany City Council considered several topics related to the upcoming May 5 primary.
