Jeffersonville City Council to cut funding for One Southern Indiana; Group’s decision to endorse candidates called a ‘conflict’, by David A. Mann (OSIN)
The Jeffersonville City Council plans to cut funding for One Southern Indiana, the area’s economic development agency. The cut is being made as the agency plans to make political endorsements of candidates in the upcoming mayoral election.
Having an agency that takes public funding make such endorsements could create a conflict of interest, council members said. No vote was taken but the action was proposed and a majority polled after the meeting said they would support the cut.
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?

"No Tolls" was great, and "No Funds" applies to 1Si, too.
New Albany's city council led the way in denouncing bridge tolls, and now Jeffersonville's legislative body points to a bright future of defunding One Southern Indiana. Let's hope New Albany's council follows suit in 2012. It would be great fun to deliver the "no funds" verdict to 1Si's compound by bicycle messenger, seeing as we know one currently living in Ohio.
