Seeing as how a lot of us have put forth considerable effort bringing attention to the idea that a revitalized downtown New Albany would be attractive to young smart people, it’s gratifying when a young smart person confirms it.
New Albanian and University of Evansville student Daniel Robison took to the task yesterday in the pages of The Tribune and handled the topic admirably, challenging New Albany to do better vis-à-vis sprawl, campaign rhetoric, city/county cooperation, and citizen political involvement.
If New Albany’s politicians, he said, are insincere in their commitment to downtown, at least confess as much. Some citizens feel as if they haven’t been let in on the joke yet and are beginning to feel foolish for continuing to treat the downtown issue as legitimate. I challenge the city and county officials to change our minds.
