Today, fellow blogger Randy Smith devotes Volunteer Hoosier to an eloquent, accurate and absolutely essential consideration of New Albany's political condition as we approach the mid-point of the terms in office of Mayor James Garner and the City Council.
I Really Always Thought It Was Trite, But ...
NAC offers two small excerpts.
And now, inexplicably, (Mayor Garner) is attacked by the willing tools of the Gang of Four, accused of withholding information (FALSE), of seeking to enrich himself (FALSE), and of somehow desiring to burden the city's residents with, what his critics say is a manufactured storm water management fee ...
... No thing is clearer than that a cabal of venal, self-interested politicians (ward-heelers) and hangers-on (you know who you are) are intent on creating a miasma of discontent in New Albany. Relying on their experiences from the past, they believe that Rove-ian propaganda can ensure that, come election time, all of that discontent will be poured out indiscriminately toward whoever is the incumbent mayor. After all, isn't that the norm. Don't try to improve things, just blame whoever's in there at at the top of the ticket?
We've nothing to add to Randy's masterful summation, other than to urge that you read it, consider the implications for the future of progress in New Albany, and when the time comes, exercise your right to vote.

After resisting it for too long, I’ve decided to enable the www.blogger.com word verification feature to forestall “comment spam.”
For those who are unfamiliar, word verification simply requires you to view a random combination of letters and copy them into the box before your comment is accepted and posted.
In the end, the minor annoyance of being required to perform this task isn’t as loathsome as being spammed at every turn.
