Plan Commission to consider phase two of the Summit Springs Kelley Enrichment cluster muck development atrocity.

Ah, yes -- our beloved Mayor Ceausescu's concrete hilltop maze, with an awesome Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott, and a Taco Hell, and ...

The City of New Albany assisted on the project by completing about $3 million in infrastructure improvements for sidewalks, utilities and a road extension of West Daisy Lane.

DUH -- of course the city assisted.

Do you really think anyone would bear the brunt of the cost to develop in the wrong place if not eased by public subsidies?

Equally obvious is the connection between those public subsidies, the mayor, and a firm like Jacobi, Toombs & Lanz.

Smart growth?

For the Gahan campaign finance effort, perhaps, but at least now we have suburban ornamental white bison to ease the sting of future mudslides.

The fix may well be in; still, opponents who have relevant information to share are welcome to post it at NA Confidential. After all, the News and Tribune is unlikely to bother. After all, the city advertises with the newspaper, and a judicious discretion is the watchword.

Here's next week's Plan Commission docket.
