Redistricting plan voted down by New Albany council, by Daniel Suddeath (News and Tribune)
NEW ALBANY — Though the measure passed on initial readings, the New Albany City Council voted down a redistricting measure Monday on the final ballot.
The ordinance would have established new district parameters, however it would not have pitted any current council members against each other in the 2015 municipal election.
But those who opposed the plan said the ordinance split too many precincts in an effort to even up the population numbers and could confuse the voters who would be moved to a new district.
The proposal called for five precincts to be split.

Redistricting plan rejected: "We have all been here before," whispers King Larry via hologram.

Partying like it's 1993 (or 1900) as parks secession legislation passes.
(The council president tries in vain to extinguish the hallowed torch of city park liberty)
Via Twitter, the News and Tribune's Daniel Suddeath reports that the city and county park system's divorce is final.
Earlier in the evening, I predicted on Twitter that Bob "CeeSaw" Caesar would live up to my escalating disdain and change his vote. As you can see, he flipped. Somewhere out in his garage, King Larry Kochert is tumescent, and maybe even incandescent.

2 - The editors recap last night's city council meeting via Twitter.
Begin at the bottom, and scroll up.
@jeffgillenwater It would be city's, so perhaps maintenance will be outsourced to Clean & Green. Foo foo design, much upkeep it would seem.
@newalbanian A very good question I've not heard asked out loud, especially given the current parks situation. Who controls and maintains?
@jeffgillenwater Am I being alarmist? If Rent Boy Pk is built as designed, we'll never maintain it correctly? Experience hath shown ...
@newalbanian There's a package deal, too, called the Park and Ride.
@newalbanian This bicentennial item will stir your soul deep within. And just might come with a centurian helmet attachment.
@jeffgillenwater Speak for yourself. I sold my soul for a free sidewalk, and all I got was this lousy bicentennial coloring book.
@jeffgillenwater Coffey once again had a positive spat differential. I never suspected how Price actually dragged Coffey down. Free at last.
@newalbanian All I know for sure is that least one item will take multiple D batteries.
@newalbanian We always thought it was us who'd get bought out. We were wrong. It was tonight's front row.
@jeffgillenwater Speaking of radical -- wink nudge -- don't forget my idea for logoed sales opportunities.
@newalbanian As was discussed during a piss, when Coffey sounds like the Dalai Lama as compared to the junta, something karmic is happening.
@jeffgillenwater It was riveting theater, for sure, providing a completely different Coup d'Geriatrique from previous years.
@newalbanian One day, we'll figure out that it's always the same people asking for public money and we socialists and radicals objecting.
@jeffgillenwater Then there was Bobcentennial Caesar, voting in favor for junta monies and his own insurance. Whatever became of "abstain?"
@newalbanian My prize goes to Mrs. England-- and Bob Caesar saying absolutely nothing during her performance.
@jeffgillenwater Of course, Shelle England's "all these junta folks with me cannot speak for themselves, so I won't, until I do" moment.
@jeffgillenwater Then there was Coffey explaining Landmarks' out turned pockets to Rev. Marshall.
@jeffgillenwater What was tonight's most revealing moment? We must consider KZ's "I'm a Republican, so I work 48 hours a day" routine.

When Megenity takes a cheap shot at Coffey and Coffey rightfully bodyslams him, here comes entertainment.
