Seeking to avoid termination, poor ol' Rosenbarger goes full Orwell and claims Main Street potholes as "successes."

Look at the speed of that truck, which is or isn't supposed to be traveling on Main Street, depending on the length of John Rosenbarger's nose today. Wait -- what are those?

Hmm, maybe the city's perennial pavers at MAC have been too preoccupied with anti-union activities to pay attention to their work.

Check out the seams. If those monster trucks return to Main Street, as Rosenbarger does or doesn't believe, depending on the length of the local Democratic Party's nose (in New Albany, we have sundials aplenty), the road could suffer further damage.

NEW ALBANY — The administration was aware of the potholes that appeared on East Main Street shortly after construction had been completed and received recognition from the contractor that resurfacing may be needed in some spots, New Albany officials said Tuesday.

The issue was raised Monday during a New Albany City Council meeting, as Councilman John Gonder said he had spoken with administration officials about potholes on the recently paved road.
John Rosenbarger, supervisor of public works projects for the city, said Tuesday that MAC Construction and Excavating will repair any problems with the roadway related to the improvement project.

“There’s no debate” about who is responsible for the resurfacing, Rosenbarger said ...

 ...
“We’re going to work out the type of resurfacing that needs to be done,” Rosenbarger said.

Besides the potholes, he dubbed the more than $2.2 million in improvements from East Fifth Street to Vincennes Street as successes.

“It’s a good project. It’s been well-received,” Rosenbarger said.

Another in a series of lies stretching back to the Reagan administration, but what Rosenbarger's legendary hubris obscures is that as the Main Street project becomes more widely viewed as the expensive and poorly planned boondoggle it is, only one person has been placed by Mayor Jeff Gahan in the ideal position to fall on his sword.

Clue: It ain't Gahan himself. That'd be asking way too much, wouldn't it, Adam?
