Post YOUR #GahanShoppingCart photos. Here are two to get things started.

I'm not recommending you shop at Kroger, but if you do, find a cart with Mayor Monetizer's mug on it, pick a clever item or two and show us the results.

E-mail or message me, or post in the comments at Facebook: NA Confidential, and use the hashtag #GahanShoppingCart

Budget hearing cue ball personality cult revelation: It's the Redevelopment Commission paying to put Jeff Gahan's face on shopping carts. (September 1, 2017)

At least that's what the highest paid attorney in city government said during recent city council budget hearings.

Mr. Phipps asked if the ads on the shopping carts would come out of that.

Mr. Gibson stated he thinks that comes out of redevelopment because it is with the parks aspect.

Did Shane mean aspect -- or aspic?

What a relief to know that taxpayers are footing the bill to place Jeff Gahan's mug on every inanimate object with or without wheels. I foolishly thought perhaps the mayor would be paying for re-election campaign ads from his campaign war chest. I have so much to learn.

Thanks, Mr. Joshua. The mayor will let you know when he needs a tithe from the New Albany Housing Authority.

No way.

It couldn't be.

In other words, Mayor Gahan encourages you to shop at just one supermarket chain to the exclusion of others -- unless the city is paying for his re-election ad placements at Wally World, too.

What't next, Big Lots?

Maybe the ads are free, intended as barter for the perfectly functional fire station the city demolished (at a loss) to facilitate Kroger's enlargement?

Moreover, weren't we discussing this barely two days ago?

Yes, we were.

Manifestations of activity on the part of government also are promoted as inseparable from the leader’s benevolence, and while the leader may have utilized resources theoretically shared equally by his or her subjects, the results must always be portrayed as stemming from the wisdom of the leader.

The leader’s pre-eminence is reinforced by the constant repetition of mass marketing, including the leader’s name and image as attached to almost anything lacking the good sense to move out of the way.

Never mind. I fixed it.

Thanks to A. for the tip.
