News and Tribune reports: NA council votes no to anti-tolling resolution.

Dan Coffey, Bob Caesar, Diane Benedetti, Scott Blair and Kevin Zurschmiede voted no. Shall we interpret this vote as an obedient toeing of the One Southern Indiana party line -- in effect, a vote in favor of bridge tolls, in favor of a downtown bridge, and in favor of New Albany as a victim of traffic diversion chaos?

Or, did the objections arise from procedural grounds, i.e., that it isn't the elected council's place to consider such issues? If you were there, or if you're on of them, we'd love to hear the reasoning.

"Yes" votes came from Greg Phipps, Pat McLaughlin, Shirley Baird and the resolution's sponsor, John Gonder. Thanks to all four for looking past the Stemlerisms to the genuine interests of New Albany.
