Ballad of a Thin Man, Part II: C-J’s roving eye falls on the Constituency for Progress

Today in the Courier-Journal, reporter Ben Hershberg surveys the crowd of activists gathered for the teach-in held by a nascent Constituency for Progress, and sees something profoundly inexplicable by the traditional meat ‘n’ taters political culture of the town Larry Kochert knows so well:

Activism sprouts in New Albany; Civic movements in the city are rare, by Ben Zion Hershberg of the Courier-Journal (short shelf life on C-J links)

It would seem that activism is the flavor of the day: Councilman Kochert tells Hershberg that he doubts it will last; CM Mark Seabrook warns that it isn't always well informed, and CM Steve Price says it's a good thing.

In the spirit of media fairness, NA Confidential visited the Tribune web site to see if activism had reached its shores yet, but the site hasn't been updated since Friday.

We suppose that answers the question.
