John Krull | HJR 3 to native son: You can't go home again
... What my schoolmate is saying is that, if HJR 3 finds its way into our constitution, he and his partner won’t come back here. They won’t spend their money in our shops and restaurants. Their taxes won’t go toward building our roads, supporting our schools and paying for our police and fire departments.
That is a powerful argument.
But it’s not the argument that closes the deal for me. That argument comes at the end of his note ...
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?

It's the Hoosier Stain, and it needs to go away.
