RFRA resolution: Gonder rushes in where Gahan fears to tread.

Borrowed from someone.

Who'll show up for this vote? NAC previewed the resolution on Friday.

John Gonder's RFRA repeal resolution, coming to council Monday.

 ... Meanwhile, back here in the Magic Kingdom of Nawbony, where municipal Democrats deploy governing principles modeled so closely on the ones they routinely decry at the state Republican level that only a jaundiced eye can tell them apart, councilman John Gonder is sponsoring a resolution supporting RFRA's repeal and replacement, to be considered at Monday's city council meeting.

The newspaper explains that as usual, Gonder is willing to undertake what most of the other local DemoDisneyDixiecrats are unable to muster. He is to be commended for that.

New Albany council to weigh-in on RFRA, by Daniel Suddeath (News and Tribune)

NEW ALBANY — The handling of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act by the Statehouse and Gov. Mike Pence gave Indiana a “black eye,” and it’s important for people who oppose the law to speak up, New Albany City Councilman John Gonder said of his resolution calling for the legislation to be repealed.

The nonbinding measure will be considered by the council Monday evening, April 6. The council has taken similar action to show support or disagreement with other matters that weren’t within its control, and Gonder said the RFRA is a case where it’s important to take a stand.

Incumbent hologram and down-low bunker occupant Jeff Gahan is given a shout-out for his murmured, truncated and tepid five-days-late "nay."

As for the RFRA, New Albany Mayor Jeff Gahan weighed-in on the legislation last week, as he called for the law to be changed.

“Elected officials have a duty to create an environment that welcomes everyone and discriminates against no one,” Gahan said.

So long as they contribute to the re-election coffers? Finally, there's a housekeeping item.

As required by state law, the council also will vote on a resolution in support of keeping the New Albany Urban Enterprise Zone Association.

The UEZ provides loans and grants to businesses within its boundaries, and is primarily funded through bank loans made to establishments inside the UEZ.

It's a timely reminder that the Urban Enterprise Association, which administers the Urban Enterprise Zone, lost its independence after being forcibly annexed by City Hall in 2012.

Let's not forget that.

Mike Ladd speaks: "Small minds seek small solutions and fight for even smaller purposes.

The settlement of Mike Ladd's lawsuit does little to dissipate the ugliness of his treatment.
