State sez: Oops. Make that $4 million less.

Wonders never cease, and life's anything but boring in the bowels of the Open Air Museum.

Seeing as Dan Coffey went over-the-top punitive at the drop of the state's misplaced fedora, and immediately appointed himself judge, jury and executioner, must the show trials (and special hearings) go on?

Or will he ape the Fonz and say, "I was wr ... rr ... on ... on ... nn ... g"?

New Albany budget cut lowered to $813,376, by Daniel Suddeath.

New Albany will only have to cut $813,376 from its 2009 budget as opposed to the $4.8 million figure thrown out last week, state officials confirmed Tuesday.

State Rep. Ed Clere and a spokeswoman from the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance stated in a conference call with The Tribune that due to an “accounting error”, the actual amount of the budget shortfall turned in to New Albany last week was wrong.

it's still fiscal irresponsibility on this administration's watch and a good place to begin a budget cut is through eliminating Carl Malysz as deputy Mayor, a $90,000 mistake and waste of taxpayers money.
