The letter offers respectful points for pondering, including this one: "Streets, sidewalks, drainage and sewage, the homeless, the poor, police and fire protection, education, etc., are ongoing problems in our city, the solutions to which are far more essential than another recreational enterprise."
I'm sure the Gahan administration has plans in hand to address these "other" quality of life issues. For a lot of us, a spoonful of reassurance that these issues are not being back-burnered would go a very long way in helping the bond medicine go down.
Dr. Cannon Offers a Considered Opinion on Bond Issue
I’ve been blessed over my time in New Albany to have had numerous lengthy conversations with Dr. Dan Cannon. I’m happy to see him speaking out about the bond issue just approved by New Albany’s city council. While I don’t necessarily subscribe to everything said below, I do consider it as a useful contribution to the discussion. This letter to the News and Tribune adds appreciably to that part of the discussion going on in the community (as opposed to that going on exclusively on the Third Floor of the City-County Building). Before we allow the independent redevelopment body to proceed, there need to be many more such discussions.
