OUR FAMILY NEVER, EVER, THOUGHT WE WOULD LISTEN TO AL JAZEERA BRINGING OUR CURRENT NEWS. NEVER IN A LIFETIME. WELL, **** HAPPENS (ONE OF OUR FAVORITE BUMPER STICKERS).
REALLY, THE ONLY NEWS YOU MAY HAVE RECEIVED CAME OUT OF AL JAZEERA. A NEWS CHANNEL WE NEVER THOUGHT YOU AND MINE WOULD HAVE RECEIVED OUR BREAKING, LATEST NEWS. BUT, IT HAPPENED. MY SON TUNED IN AL JAZEERA ON THE COMPUTER AND WE ALL LISTENED TO THE LATEST AND GREATEST, ABOUT EGYPT. A REVOLUTION BEFORE OUR VERY EYES ABOUT UNEMPLOYMENT AND A LACK OF FOOD. EVEN THOUGH WE HAD STUDIED THIS SUBJECT AND HEARD THE YOUTH WOULD BRING ABOUT THE REVOLUTIONS BECAUSE OF A LACK OF JOBS -- TRULY SOBERING NEWS. A REAL LIFE REVOLUTION AND "PEOPLE POWER" TO THE MAX. AL JAZEERA WAS THE ONLY TV ON THE GROUND, BRINGING YOU, AND OURS, THE LATEST, GREATEST AND CURRENT NEWS.
WAS THERE A LESSON IN IT TO ALL OF US? MAYBE. WE (OUR GENERATION) HAVE NEVER SEEN A REVOLUTION UP FRONT AND PERSONAL. WE HAVE READ WHERE THE YOUTH OF OTHER COUNTRIES, AND OURS, WILL BRING THIS "UNEMPLOYMENT, LACK OF (FOOD) WHATEVER TO THE FRONT". BUT, BY GOSH, IT HAPPENED BEFORE OUR EYES. NO JOBS, LACK OF FOOD, ETC.
BACK TO NEW ALBANY, INDIANA. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES BREAK CONCERNING THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, THE CANDIDATE WHO WILL RUN FOR MAYOR, WHICH CANDIDATE WILL RUN FOR COUNCIL, PARKING TICKETS (WHICH CAN NOT EQUAL SEWER BILL PAST DUES (WHERE BENEDETTI SWEARS IS NOT PUBLIC INFORMATION), AND PARKING TICKETS. IT IS WHAT IT IS. AND, WHAT ELSE IS NEW IN NEW ALBANY -- LACK OF ENFORCEMENT. WHAT WITH RENTALS, SEWERS, PARKING, AND CODE ENFORCEMENT (BLAH, BLAH, BLAH). NOTHING NEW EXCEPT A NEW DAY (UNFORTUNATELY FOR TAXPAYERS). OH, AND DON'T LET US FORGET THE S. ELLEN AND JONES NEIGHBORHOOD AND HOW MUCH THIS REMINDS US OF THE OTHER FIASCO WITH SAME PEOPLE IN CHARGE. ISN'T THAT A MIND BENDER?
MY ELDEST SON TAUGHT ME A LOT THIS PAST WEEK, TURNING THE COMPUTER ON AND LISTENING TO AL JAZEERA. ANY OF YOU AS TO WHAT THE U.S.A. MAY BE FACING (OR NEW ALBANY -- JOKE, JOKE)? CURIOUS TO SAY, AT THE LEAST!
BRING IT ON, BUT LET US KEEP IT CIVIL. AMEN.

YOU DO KNOW ENGLAND IS UPSET FREEDOM OF SPEECH FOUND OUT ABOUT THE GOINGS ON WITH HIM AND STUMLER, DON'T YOU? HOW DARE CITIZENS FOR ACCOUNTABILITY KNOW THESE THINGS! AND, WHY DID ENGLAND CRY? FOR US OR FOR HIM?
ENGLAND'S CIRCLE IS NO LONGER "TIGHT". THERE ARE TOO MANY LEAKS SEEPING OUT AND I SAY BRING THE REST OF IT OUT!
STUMLER HAS TO KEEP CARL IN HIS EMPLOYMENT (OUR EMPLOYMENT) BECAUSE WHO ELSE IS GOING TO RUN THIS CITY AND KEEP THEIR FINGERS ON THE COOKIE JAR?
THE QUOTE UNQUOTE SATIRE ON FOS SIMPLY SHOWS TO ME SOMEONE HAS TOOOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS. IS BUSINESS THAT BAD? NO GOOD WILL COME OF IT EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN PEOPLE TO GET THEIR ROCKS OFF.
I AM WAITING TO SEE IF JEFF GAHAN WILL TAKE THE MESS ON IN OUR ILLUSTRIOUS CITY. I FEEL THE DEMOCRATS WILL WELCOME HIM WITH OPEN ARMS.
AND, I AM CERTAINLY AWAITING FOS TO COME FORWARD WITH THE REST OF THE INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM WITHIN THE HALLOWED WALLS OF THE CITY-COUNTY BUILDING. BRING IT ON. SOME SIMPLY CAN NOT STAND WE DO HAVE DECENT HARD WORKING PEOPLE WITHIN THOSE HALLS WHO DO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AND ARE REALLLYY TIRED OF THE SHENANIGANS.
GOOD JOB EVERYONE! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK(S). KEEP YOUR FAITH AND HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH.

SAY WHAT? ! ?
First off, let me thank you for allowing me to use your Blog to reflect what our Family has been talking about since the New Year's.
There are so many rumors floating around about WHO IS ACTUALLY running for Mayor. We know England is. We know Etheridge is. We know someone by the name of Stemler or Stumler is running (sorry). We know Messer is not running. But, we hear there may be a person yet unknown to us. When is the last day for the filing?
We were talking about the "grand illusion" of the new parking garage and condos. Blah, blah, blah. I agree with the fact Bobo should own his parking lot for his condos. I do not want to be in another parking lot business with our money when the other failed so miserably. Are we still paying all the electric at the State Street Parking garage and who will show us the books and PUBLICLY state we are or have made money on this particular white elephant (except during Harvest, lol)?
I feel the articles published in the Tribune (by you know who) perpetuate the old myth about us vs. them junk. This entails the old sayings it is the County versus the City residents. The myth where County residents look down on the City residents; the Floyd County "snobs" versus City dumb butts. I have good friends in the County and good friends in the City; but I really get the impression that is the attitude one columnist in the Tribune HAS. The articles simply read this way to me (and I have excellent reading comprehension skills). If this is the attitude they possess don't you wish they would move BACK to the County and quit running the citizens down in the City with their (what I consider) a holier than thou attitude? I SURE DO. But, that is our opinion, LOL.
We are anxious to see who will run for the City Council. I know, the Tribune listed some of the ones who will run again but I think we are going to have new faces, also. It surely can't hurt.
We also feel the shortfall in the budget is a whole lot more than what "they" are telling us. Matter of fact, I know. Do you feel the current government has no clue how bad the state of the economy is, or how badly jobs are needed, or how much we want them to cut back on EVERYTHING? Where is "their" reality? I know reality sucks, but geez Louise.
As my friend who shares ownership in Buckheads said in the paper TOLLS on the bridges will kill business...and that means in New Albany, also.
We have also talked about Daniels getting some type of a "fiscally responsible" award. I don't really dislike Daniels as a person but I certainly disagree with some decisions he has made. How much outsourcing of jobs has he permitted, allowed, performed (however you wish to word it)?
This subject, outsourcing, drives me crazy. I watched corporate outsource for years until they fell on their knees and we fell on ours. Employees come in under "professional services contracts" and get no benefits, no pensions, no job stability (you are there until there is no more work). I think it has come around to bite Corporate in their behinds. We don't like the percentage the Chinese own of the USA. We don't like India taking massive amount of jobs from little ole Indiana. We don't like the fact the Germans own our water (and I know some Veterans who are livid about this subject). Let's just say use American workers and U.S. dollars to build, etc. I've never seen so much "we need foreign investments to make this project work". If you do, then don't build it. Stay at home.
Thank you again for letting me say how I feel. Some things stick in your crawl and maybe even I can do better. I can only imagine how some are going to "act" about what was stated above but I am sure they will get over it and allow others an opinion.

THE START OF 2 0 1 1, AND...
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL.
WE HAVE A LOT TO LOOK FORWARD TO AND MAYBE CRINGE A LITTLE ABOUT; BUT WE'LL SEE.
CITY COUNCIL ELECTIONS WILL BE A BEAR, TO SAY THE LEAST.
BUDGET WOES AND THE LACK OF UNWILLINGNESS FOR ENGLAND TO TELL THE POLICE SOMETHING HAS GOT TO GIVE IN THEIR UNION CONTRACTS IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER PAIN IN OUR BEHINDS.
WE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY EVERYONE HAS TO GIVE AND GIVE AND PAY AND PAY AND OUR MAYOR DOESN'T UNDERSTAND AND WON'T PUT HIS FOOT DOWN. HEY, AT LEAST PARK THE POLICE CARS AND CUT YOUR DEPUTY ASSISTANT MAYOR OUT. MAYBE YOU THINK YOU NEED HIM MAYOR, BUT I SWEAR HE IS MORE OF A LIABILITY TO YOU THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW.
EVEN PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT YOU DON'T LIKE HIM, NOR HIS POSITION, NOR HIS CREATIVE IDEAS.
IT IS WHAT IT IS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY. WE HAVE A FEELING YOU WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS LAST ELECTION HAPPEN LOCALLY.
FEEL FREE TO COMMENT BUT LET'S KEEP IT DECENT AND NON COMBATIVE, PLEEAASSEE. THANKS.
