There’s nothing at all inappropriate about the timing. On the hottest day of the year, certain politically temperamental thermostats at the City-County Building are set for certain intemperate global warming:
New Albany mayor vetoes sewer ruling; Panel planned suit in contract dispute, by Dick Kaukas (The Courier-Journal).
Less than 24 hours after the New Albany City Council voted to file lawsuits to challenge the validity of two no-bid contracts, Mayor James Garner vetoed the resolution.
What the future holds for New Albany’s leading index of governmental dysfunction is by no means clear, but the C-J’s reporter Kaukas has earned our eternal gratitude for revealing an all-time, bar-none, classic King Larry Kochert moment:
Kochert yesterday accused some council members who object to the contracts of engaging in "political grandstanding" before the November election.
"They had been acting like lapdogs, and now they want to look like watchdogs," Kochert said.
That’s breathtaking. No single pot ever accused an accompanying kettle of blackness to such a sweeping degree. Thanks, Dick, for catching that one. You made our year.

One of things that I left out about Monday night concerned Mr. Kochert.
ReplyDeleteWhen I arrived during the committee meeting(prior to the Council meeting), Mr. Kochert and MR. DICK STEWART were sitting together and I did not observe any illegal activity going on. Nary a sign in sight.
