There's more excitement on the horizon as Councilman Cappuccino makes yummy hash from his day-old BBQ bologna and plots pre-emptive secession for Westendia lest pernicious outside investment monies poison the scam and render him null and void -- not that he isn't already.
New Albany redistricting plan ready for a vote, by the Tribune's Daniel Suddeath.
Committee Co-chairman Randy Smith said the six districts were shaped to include as close to 6,325 people each as possible, based on population numbers confirmed through Floyd County Clerk Linda Moeller.
The district most under the average is short 19 people, while one district is over by 27 people.
The proposal likely will be brought to the council for approval July 7. Smith said he’s hopeful the council will sanction the new map since none of its members have provided input, except the three at-large councilmen assigned to the committee.
“I expect no criticism whatsoever, since we’ve had five public meetings,” Smith said.
Randy, a plaintiff in the lawsuit that handily exposed the previous council's cavalier and Kochertian disinterest in rule of law to an eagerly waiting world, went on to suggest that the current council may well regard the judicially mandated redistricting effort in like and negligent fashion.
As a plainftiff, I can speak only for myself in saying that it would be a mistake for yet another council to wash its hands of legality.
To paraphrase Mick Jagger: "ACLU, children, it's just a call away."

One can only hope that this council has the foresight and intestinal fortitude to bring this matter to the agenda and resolve it in a timely fashion.
It is worrisome to me that there are council members still who are more concerned about the personalities involved than they are the about the legal & constitutional issues herein.
