Well, of course it is. When Coffey's involved, when hasn't it been a power play?
The obvious aside, has anyone noticed that the streets need paving?
New Albany City Council questions Doug England’s hires, street paving plan, by Daniel Suddeath (Tribune).
This week, New Albany City Council President Dan Coffey removed a measure from next Monday’s meeting agenda that included a $10 million bond issue for street repair.
It was one of many decisions, rifts and accusations against Mayor Doug England’s administration mooted by council members and their attorney during a work session Wednesday.Random question: How many of the insurgent council persons currently proposing EDIT monies to be used for paving previously voted in favor of flushing the same EDIT monies down city sewers as a form of Luddite subsidy?
By the way, has anyone noticed that our streets need paving?
I'm telling you, the executive branch is a bigger problem right now than the legislative.
ReplyDeleteMoney appropriated for pension plan is used for "emergency" boat purchase. Emergency? c'mon.
Raises paid out Storm Water.
Want New Albany residents on boards. Kick some off, keep others who don't even live in Floyd County much less New Albany.
Promise to get back to the neighborhood assoc. in 30 days.
Anybody seen a code enforcement plan yet?
The basic answer from the executive branch is "What we do is legal". That might be true. We all know that "legal" and "proper" are not the same thing.
I'm certainly not forgetting the Council's past sins, nor their current ones. However, I feel a united determination by this current body to get some straight answers to some thorny problems for New Albany. Unlike cabarets and novelty lighters.
When is politics not a power play?

ReplyDeleteAnother thing that came up the other night, the Council has "discovered" an ordinance pertaining to the format of the agenda for Common Council Meetings.
ReplyDeleteIt appears that they are going to follow this format. If they start following the law, well, who knows what might happen. A proper redistricting? My hopes don't go that high.
Oh, I forgot
ReplyDeleteWhen is politics not a power play?(grin)
Not to put too fine a point on it, but has anyone noticed the streets need paving?
ReplyDeleteAlthough, if last year is any indication, the streets are going to need mowing first.
ReplyDeleteThe amount of money they're squaring off over amounts to less than 1% of the budget. And the streets need paving.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Council as ethics cops? Well, that's just some sort of parody I'm not sure I understand.
