Time To Meet The Mayor of New Albany!!!!!!!

MAYOR ENGLAND'S MEET AND GREET WEDNESDAY A JOKE?



First off let me say how much my family appreciates this blog and the opportunity for all of us to submit articles for publication here about issues at our kitchen table.

I thought the last article was great! How often do you get the opportunity to submit your thoughts about real issues going on in our home town? Be able to speak the truth and not worry about the rats in our community bothering us! Thank you, thank you.

We had to hurry up and submit this and so I hope you all will bear with me telling our thoughts about the meeting on Wednesday at 6:30 pm, June 16th.

First off isn't that the day we have a public hearing or such with the Department of Local Government and Finance about our BUDGET for this year just now being approved? I can't wait and see what the Mayor has to say about the budget results, hah! I also wonder if anyone from the public will have the guts to ask him about last year's over spending of the budget and the fallout that has to be associated with the results for this year! Like I said will anyone from the public have the guts?

When England said before his election he was going to do things better this time we had no idea what he meant and gave him the benefit of the doubt(s). But, now I wonder if he didn't mean he was simply going to finish us off with the debt(s) he keeps running up.

Every time you think the Mayor can't possibly come up with any more hare brained ideas, he rains them down. His creativity in three way liquor licenses and now three way catering licenses, where do you learn these games? And only a few get in on the deal (a literal who's who with the Mayor's crowd). Something isn't right.

And, you got everyone knowing the Mayor's house is up for sale and then you see DNA with his wife heading it holding an open house for $30.00 a whack at the Mayor's house. We find this astonishing because it smacks so blatantly of free public services to provide a buyer for the Mayor's house, even if he doesn't pocket the $30.00 a whack. His wife is as head of DNA. Aaahhhaaahh, can you hear me screaming from here?

But, back to the subject of the meeting Wednesday night. I wonder how many hard questions the public will ask of the Mayor; then again I shudder to think of the budget being returned and then wonder if someone from the public will ask about that. I sit in wonder and wonder.

That's what we were talking about tonight at our kitchen table.

Could it be his kick-off campaign for re-election?

Semi-literate anonymous nonsense, but entertaining nonetheless. I must say, though: Excellent font choice. Courier Bold? Very readable. My family thanks your family for saying the same thing, undifferently.

Somehow,, the tour of the Mayor's house for $30.00 is a joke.

Could this be called a conflict of interest ? If his wife is on the board and selling tickets for $30.00 to tour the property that is for sale?

Anonymous said...

I'm thinking it is a conflict of interest too but the Mayor never sees a conflict of interest. He's above it all don't you know?

Any word on the Budget yet?

Well look whose come to visit our new blog.
Btw, I attened last night's democrat women's meeting and Mrs. Mayor spoke very unkindly of NAC and Baylor.

I almost wet my pants laughing when she stated "she tries not to read NAC and blah, blah, blah."

Stick a fork in England. He's done.

Anonymous said...

My how they choose to disagree. Their pocket books are plump!

Can someone explain said...

I have a few questions if anyone has the answers please respond.

I read other blogs and question some comments.

Is it true that during the vote for the River Boat did England really buy up land all along the River?

Is it true or just rumor that several homes in New Albany are not even hooked up to sewers?

How did England sell the Parathnon for little money?

Is it true recently Carl Maylsz sold seven building or property to the two guys who are wanting to place a hotel down on Main Street for $100,000?

Did Malysz really get fired in Louisville for sexual harrassment?

Can anyone tell me how England was mayor in the 1990's and if he was so bad how did he get re-elected?

Anonymous said...

England and and another person.

The Parthenon had some bad dealings with local citizens. Lawsuits by investors.

England in business with the two guys so anything goes.

I don't know if Carl was fired for sexual or racial stuff.

I don't know how England got re elected except everyone believing more of his bs.

It is what it is, an open and closed case.

Welcome to the City of New Albany.

It would be very interesting to do some history newspaper research to find out the story about England and some other people buying up land along the riverfront to cash in on the Casino Gambling boat that wanted to dock on the New Albany riverfront.

Anonymous said...

I would like to ask Mayor England why he feels the downtown area is more important than other areas of town.

He complains about revenue but how much are they losing downtown.

Anonymous said...

I have two questions for Mayor England.

1. There is a vacant house with grass more than knee high. I have reported this five times to Code Enforcement and nothing has been done. Why or do I have to be a council member to get something done.

2. Is there a way that the city can pass an ordinance on non-working vehicle parked in front of their home?

I live on Spring Street. I was told that the alley ways are for city and utility use only. Why were my neighbors cited for their overgrown vines and weeds, when 1117 Spring has vines growing everywhere in the back and alley way.
And why has the Quiet Zone been put on the back burner it's been over 5 years now.
What is New Albany doing about all the illegals here?

The New Albanian said...

I'm flattered you know my address, nonamus. But I believe you're thinking about the house next door.

My family thanks your family for family ties and all that kictehn family stuff, natch, etc.

Anonymous said...

Sorry to hear about your air-conditioning problem too.

Anonymous said...

I don't think New Albany cares much about illegals. I heard a story about a whole van full trucked in to restore a house and when the State Building Commissioner showed up they all jumped out of the back of the windows. Even with a kid there under 16 the police said hey I used to do that kind of work when I was their age. Go figure.

I live on Market and have no clue as to the hold up of the Quiet Zone.

My short question to Mayor England would be simple, but would he answer?

Can he say Intervention?

He has screwed this city to the brink of bankrupcy in my view.

Anonymous said...

In my opinion, you are either part of the solution, or part of the problem; and right now my family (me and mine) consider England to be the problem in New Albany. He's up to his ole shit just like before.
There's a cop outside my house waiting for me to come outside, because they saw a "DID YOU DO IT DOUG" sticker on my car.

The Mayor made such a big deal about rats and trash in the East End. Why doesn't he enforce the laws in other parts of town ?

Junk cars, weeds, trash all over and they won't do a thing.

YOU ARE SO RIGHT. LET'S GATHER A BUNCH OF THAT TRASH AND DUMP IT ON THE CITY-COUNTY BUILDING STEPS.

THEY HAVE TEA PARTIES. LET US HAVE A
TRASH PARTY AT CITY HALL.

DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD GET THEIR ATTENTION AND HELP US CLEAN UP THE TOWN?

Anonymous said...

people who tried to make a difference with the trash were ridiculed. People who tried to have code enforcement stepped up were crucified for wanting to waste rate payers money. The city had its chance, and it had the momentum to do something positive. But because of few people didnt personally like those who were trying to make a difference, it all fell apart. You reap what you sew. Or how did one of you put it to someone, you get what you got coming.

Anonymous said...

Who ridiculed who over the trash? People who tried to have code enforcement stepped up were crucified? Yeah, we been going through that for longer than you have been involved.

We have suffered through all kinds of inept building appointees over the years which have led us to where we are today.

We were there when Overton was Mayor and the landlords united and hired them a lawyer. It happened in a Council meeting.

You want to blame Price because he is a landlord when he is not your problem. Your problem is England is a landlord, McGlaughlin is a Landlord, Messer is a landlord, is Benedetti a landlord?, Zurschmeide is a landlord and where does your logic break down concerning that?

Is it that simple just to blame Price? We know this has been going on long before Price. Just because Price can't be bought doesn't make for your paranoia to be right.

Anonymous said...

Rngland refuses to take the blame for anything. Counting the days until he's out of office.

Anonymous said...

a.)It was just another photo-op for England in my opinion.

b.)Hell will freeze over before the county gives him a LOIT Tax.

c.) The blame game.

Anonymous said...

Where in the post did price get blamed? If you can point that out then this conversation can continue. If you can not point out where Price got blamed, then it is pointless to continue. For the record I have been involved in trying to get this city cleaned up for 20 years now.

I would like to know where all the Kitchen Table people were last night? You had the chance to come out and speak your mind and ask questions but no one showed?

and how would you know that? 2 funny.

"We were there when Overton was Mayor and the landlords united and hired them a lawyer. It happened in a Council meeting."
I had been there as well. And I was there as well when Price, Harrison, Denhart and many others fought tooth and nail against rental house registration and enhanced code enforcement. I had been there when that king guy carried on nonstop about that tire company. But then when it comes to any attention anywhere else he complains about money being wasted.

No one appeared to be high, so I guess that none of you were there.

Anonymous said...

Guess away. Do you really care?

The landlords united and hired an attorney. We were there.

Why carry on about Council people no longer in office? Hatred that bad?

WHAT A JOKE.............

The City says they can not identify the owners of property with trash, weeds and junk cars.

The staff of the City Administration needs to take the elevator down to the first floor of the City County Building to the Treasurer's Office.

The Treasurer has all the records of property owners. They send out
tax bills each year to an address.

If the property tax on a property is not paid, then , that property goes into the Sheriff's Public Sale.

Why is the City paying a $150,000
salary to the City Attorney if they
can't even find the identity of a property owner of a property to clean up the city mess?

I JUST SCANNED THE BLOGSPHERE. I HAD TO LAUGH WHEN I READ THESE COMMENTS ON NAC:

I THINK THAT'S IT--LACK OF POLITICAL WILL FOR CODE ENFORCEMENT. THE COUNCIL AND ADMINISTRATION DON'T CONSIDER IT A PRIORITY.

I'M NOT SURE WHY, ALTHOUGH I DON'T ATTRIBUTE IT TO CORRUPTION OR ANY OF THE OTHER BILE THAT'S BEEN SPOUTED. OR JUST NOT A PRIORITY TO THE POWERS THAT BE.

FIRST IT'S PRICE'S FAULT THEN THIS. THIS LADY NEEDS TO GET HER HEAD OUT OF ENGLAND'S ASS FOR ONE THING.

WHY DO THESE WANNABE'S CONTINUE TO IGNORING THE FACTS?

THEY LIVE IN THEIR OWN SELF SERVING WORLD AND REFUSED TO CALL IT WHAT IT IS.

CORRUPTION, PURE AND SIMPLE.

Anonymous said...

It isn't Council's responsibility to enforce. The Council provides the money $$$$. The City doesn't enforce anything and I don't care if it is parking tickets, code violations, past due sewer bills, etc. If they can't walk the sewer bills downstairs (and they have the addresses) why does anyone believe they will do anything else?

This is why England is a joke.

Anonymous said...

No it is not the council's job to enforce. That falls to the executive branch---the mayor. JUst like the budget---once passed there is no enforcement power except to sue.

England was elected due to the primary---with such low voter turnout a few meople with unfluence can turn an election.

speaking of the city attorney--why does 100k of his salary come from the sewer dept.

Anonymous said...

if you can't afford $2-$3 bucks a month for sewer than you have a lot bigger problems than politics. maybe you should save better. maybe you should get a job. maybe you should cancel your internet access. that will save you at least $20/month.
