Decision 2011: Long ago and far away in the 1st District.

Starting today (October 10), we'll be surveying the options in New Albany's municipal elections on November 8, with a council race each day through Saturday, at-large on Sunday, and the mayoral contest on Monday, October 17. Listings are cribbed from the clerk's office, followed by brief comments by the senior editor.

NEW ALBANY COUNCIL DISTRICT 1
(Precincts New Albany 1, 17, 21, 23)


R Eddie Hodges 121 Olive Avenue 812-944-1335
D Dan Coffey (incumbent) 425 West 7th Street 502-797-8347

No evidence of an on-line presence from either candidate can be found. Hodges is a complete unknown, and Coffey is known all too well. The voting proclivities of the hermetic 1st District remain shrouded in mystery, with Coffey barely squeezing though a three-way primary last spring. It could have been worse: Vicki Denhart might have won.

NAC's pick: Try not to live in the 1st District.
