After five long years, 3rd district uncouncilman Steve Price finally has taken a stand in favor of economic development.
He's come out for pawn shops.
Wow. Now that's downmarket ... and in an industrial park, no less.
Read about this and more council business in the Tribune: McCartin says New Albany development good for tax base, residents raise traffic concerns.

I find it utterly ridiculous that this issue(pawn shop)has been on the Council's agenda now for 6 different times. It has been tabled 3 times and is now up(again)for the 3rd and final reading.
ReplyDeleteIn the course of one year, there are 24 regularly scheduled Council meetings. This issue will have been on 25% of Council's agendas. Surely there are bigger and better issues that the Council needs to be dealing with.
