Clark County Council seeking $7.2M in excess levy money, by Braden Lammers (News & Tribune)
The council unanimously approved resolution 2-2010 opposing the use of tolls as a source of funding for the Ohio River Bridges Project. The resolution passed, but is not a binding agreement on whether or not the Louisville and Southern Indiana Bridges Authority can impose tolls to help fund the project.
“It’s just basically an opinion or a recommendation by this board,” said Scott Lewis, attorney for the county council.
Paul Fetter — a Jeffersonville businessman who spoke on behalf of approving the anti-tolling resolution — said he plans to present the anti-toll resolution to other governmental municipalities in Indiana that are along the Ohio River. He said similar agreements would be brought to Utica, Clarksville and Jeffersonville — the latter previously denied the resolution — that would be affected by the proposed project.
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?

Clark County Council unanimously passes no tolls resolution.
Another collection of voices reminds us that regardless of what Kerry Stemler's ego whispers to him, we do, in fact, have a choice.
