In a long, tense and occasionally strained session, the council approved Scribner Place bonding according to the first option, with the so-called Coffey Plan never entering into the picture.
Councilman Jack Messer spoke eloquently for the majority (6-2-1, with councilmen Coffey and Price opposing and CM Schmidt bizarrely abstaining), challenging New Albany to succeed.
Salary for the ordinance enforcement officer position also was approved, this time unanimously.
There'll be more to say, but it's late. What are your impressions of the meeting tonight?
I am glad to hear that Scribner Place is advancing. I wish I had been able to attend and hear CM Messer's presentation, because he is usually a man of very few words.

Hopefully these comments won't be deleted, haha. Seriously, good press for the Scribner Project in the CJ today. It appears that the project is gaining speed for the better. Proudly posted.
