For the report on last evening's endless "why not make this a work session and get us out of here earlier" public safety budget debate, visit Daniel Suddeath at the Tribune's web site: Budget shortfall still in limbo: New Albany City Council defeats public safety funding request, wants other options.
On the surface, it seems that the council members (minus congenital naysayer Steve Price, who's been playing some music) agree that police and fire protection are important, even if the palsied poseur -- mistaking herself for the fictional John Galt and lashing out at critics of her persistent and cowardly anonymity -- dramatically insisted that in the modern world, underperforming citizens like her can no longer afford, well, the amenities of the modern world.
The only disagreement seems to be where shortfall bills can be shifted for payment. EDIT? Riverboat? Rainy Day? We'll see next time, when a new ordinance is introduced, and we can sit through the whole of it, again. Maybe this time, President Gonder will enforce the five minute time limit.
