New Albany annexation suffers setback; Mayor plans to call another special meeting TuesdayAs Councilman Cappuccino contemplates updating his blog (moribund since April 4), Mayor England pledges another meeting, this time presumably sending squad cars to rope in the non-attendees.
The New Albany City Council failed to approve a fiscal plan for the project by a 4 to 1 vote at a special meeting. The proposal needed five yes votes, and with four members absent, there was no room for a no vote.
Dan Coffey voted no while John Gonder, Bob Caesar, Pat McLaughlin and Kevin Zurschmiede voted for the fiscal plan. Jeff Gahan, Steve Price, Jack Messer and Diane McCartin-Benedetti were absent.
New Albany is a state of mind … but whose? Since 2004, we’ve been observing the contemporary scene in this slowly awakening old river town. If it’s true that a pre-digital stopped clock is right twice a day, when will New Albany learn to tell time?

Dan Coffey slays the annexation dragon ... for now.
In our latest episode of "Shower After Filing," the Tribune's Chris Morris draws the short straw.
Bitch all you want to about Mr. Price but Dan Coffey is, by far, the biggest impediment to the betterment of New Albany.
ReplyDeleteBitch all you want about Dan Coffey, but this one isn't all on his back.
ReplyDeleteSeldom is anything on just on person's back. Probably the same here. Still it doesn't change my overall opinion of Mr. Coffey's danger to the citizens of NA.
