Matt Nash on Dan Coffey: "His views are backward and repugnant."

It's lovely how the ostensibly local newspaper almost always lets its guest columnists do the heavy lifting as it focuses forever elsewhere, but something's better than nothing.

Make no mistake: These are spot-on, powerful words written by Matt Nash.

His father the doyen should consider reading them. How hard can it possibly be for our local Democratic Party to state publicly that Dan Coffey's words and actions do not reflect the party's core ethos?

NASH: An embarrassment for the council, by Matt Nash (Jeffersonville First)

In a few short weeks, I will celebrate six years of writing this weekly column. In one of those very early columns, I sat down at my old computer and typed out a column about a New Albany city councilman whose antics were surly, something that should grab the attention of his constituents and undoubtedly get him systematically booted from the council.

It seems like only yesterday. Today, I am again writing about District 1 Councilman Dan Coffey.
