The gang that can't shoot (or think) straight now seeks to institutionalize the incomprehension so that future generations of New Albanians can suffer just as readily as we are.
Mighty nice of them. The plaques probably are being stamped as we retch.
New Albany's new Comprehensive Plan to be happily midwifed by precisely the same old suspects.
And you think I'm kidding when I refer to this asylum as New Gahania?
The C-J's Madeleine Winer has updated her story to include comprehensive plan steering committee members, and here they are.
Members of the New Albany Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee
►Matt Chalfant, developer & owner of Chalfant Industries

Two or three decent eggs, but not a single truly independent voice. It's the usual pay-to-play suspects and insider "economic development" yes-men. Think of it as a road map for partisan political payola from now until doomsday
Our friend Stephen adds this precise analysis:
It strikes me as odd, inappropriate, disappointing, insulting, thoughtless and more that a committee appointed to work on a comprehensive plan for the City of New Albany includes individuals who do not live in the city. At least one resides in another county. Impacts on this city's future need to be made by city residents. If they can't live here, they have no business "representing" those of us who do.
Jeff Gahan is remaking New Albany according to his "vision," and this should scare you far worse than Donald versus Hillary.
