"Honestly, if Floyd County had been paying what they were supposed to all along, this would not be an issue."

A full two days later, the News and Tribune has finally gotten around to updating the "discussion" on its Saturday editorial about park funding, and it's a doozy. Here's a sprinkling of opinion.

OUR OPINION: Mayor's veto sends wrong message.

Stan Robison (city attorney):
"The Mayor has taken a stand against the way things have always been, and he will stand by his veto to protect the citizens of New Albany against the fleecing it has taken at the hands of the County."

Scott Klink (president of the parks board):
"They must override this veto. We need one of those four 'no' votes to become 'yes' vote."

Steve (?):
"So, editorial board, by your reasoning if all of your subscribers failed to pay for 2 months of newspapers, then they could just work out an agreement to keep getting the Tribune and not pay the 2 month's bill that was owed."

NAC's view came yesterday. We believe it would be a mistake for the council to kill Mayor Gahan's veto tonight, because this issue only so much as hints at far funding larger concerns unlikely to be addressed so long as these temporary patches continue to be applied, and for so long as county government is not held accountable.

Newspaper editorial board: Let's hold hands, drink lemonade and sing happy songs about parks funding.
