Last Friday at the filing deadline, I could have sworn we all saw the name of Ken Brooks next to that of Pat McLaughlin on the DemoDixieDisneycrat ledger in District 4. We even joked about it, given that Brooks appears to have worked at Endris Jewelers: Wonder what Paddy Mac did to annoy Tiberius Severus Octavian Elagabalus Septimius Augustus Claudius Hadrian CeeSaw, the Protector of Pearl, Deliverer of all Downtown Datedness, Master of the Mercantile, and Guardian of the Gates?
No matter; never mind.
Brooks's name is gone, presumably withdrawn. Perhaps Caesar made his point and was offered suitable tribute -- opposition to a rational street network, perhaps?

CITY OF NEW ALBANY COUNCIL MEMBER DISTRICT 4
(Precincts New Albany 11, 13, 20, 24, 25)
D Pat McLaughlin 1739 Florence Ave
R Ross Heinz 716 Academy Dr # 15
---
Heinz has no campaign material in sight, but it looks like this probably is him on Facebook: IU Southeast poli-sci grad, and friends with all the freshly scrubbed, right Republicans. But give the GOP credit: They're finding young candidates to contest the district races, while three of the best young Democrats are massed together in the at-large group -- arguably the most difficult slate of all from which to advance.
McLaughlin, who occupies the crucial role of Gahan Super Whip on the council, has no known Internet presence. Any metaphorical resemblance to the degraded state of New Albany's political culture is purely intentional.
If you live in the 4th council district and might like to run as an independent candidate in the fall, let me know. We have plenty to discuss.
