MORE ILLEGAL MANEUVERS, OR SIMPLY POSTURING?

The latest skinny out of our lovely City government shows DOUG ENGLAND issued an Executive Order, before leaving office, mandating ENGLAND, his wife SHELLEY and KAYE GEARY receive City funded health care until the day they die.  SAY WHAT?

Gahan's answer to Citizen questioning this act was "they are like the Fire Department, they get it".  Really?  If true, why the Executive Order?  Ha.  How stupid do they think we are?  (Never mind, I already know the answer.)

As to the information printed in the Tribune about Kaye Geary's daughter was hired as Controller because she is familiar with the new software -- our software is approximately seven (7) years old.  New software?

According to State Board of Accounts, we are still NOT RECONCILING our Books.

One last tidbit, we are still not billing City's properties for Storm water and Sewer bills but yet the City wants to float more Bonds?

BUSINESS AS USUAL - NOT WHAT WE VOTED FOR.  CHANGE?  IN OUR DREAMS.

I just heard that Mr. Carl Gahan called a certain citizen and ask them how they found out. There reply was: how damn stupid do you think us taxpayers are!

And England was chosen as the Floyd County dem. Treasurer; will he ever go away?

Anonymous said...

For some strange reason the government seems to think NOTHING is our business and they can spend and do what they want. Taxpayer's monies? Yeah, right. Wait until Carl's garage gets built. What a friggin joke they are.

Just curious said...

Can Carl really get paid out of tax abatements?

This is what happens when you get a inexperience person running for Mayor the crooks have corrupted him in less than thirty days. Shame on you Mayor Gahan.

Gahan needs to do an audit. If he doesn't it's all going to bite him in the butt. Who is he listening too?

We need a CPA sitting in the controllers office. So, much for change.

its time for the state attorney general to investigate all of these issues. Didnt know what you were getting yourself into did you 1 term gahan?

Anonymous said...

Pretty sure Mayor elect Gahan was told before he took office an Audit could be paid out of CDBG funds, with no cost to taxpayers.

What's up with that? Hey, Coffey, where r u?

Apparently there's nothing England will stop at in his quest to steal our money. Can you prove this?

Does anyone know the city cost for insurance for Doug, his wife, Shelli and Kay Garry is costing the taxpayers ?

Anonymous said...

If it is true that Doug is providing the insurance for himself, wife, Shelli and Kay Garry through an executive order....... Then, Mayor Gahan needs to show us some BACKBONE and do an executive order to stop the payment for this illegal insurance benefit.

Anonymous said...

Look under the rug------ what other illegal executive orders did Doug England approve for himself and his
buddies ? ? ?

Did his City Attorney, Shane Gibson, help Doug set the insurance plan up ? ?

How can the city agree to pay the new parking garage bonds with TIF funds when they have not paid back the City EDIT money used to pay off the State Street Parking Garage bonds because there were not enough Downtown TIF dollars collected to pay off the bonds on the State Street Parking Garage ? ? ?

Fed Up said...

Seven outstanding citizens (four democrats and three republicans) have contacted the State of Indiana for an investigation. They have been assured this is illegal as hell. Cullpepper is the insurance company. Word in the halls of the third floor is Warren Nash is also getting healthcare.

Some advice for Mayor Gahan; your in way over your head. You promised change and all we got were your lies.

I have a feeling this is going to get really messy when it all comes out.

Is he this dumb to think someone would not find out about the insurance fraud?

Anonymous said...

I have one suggestion for everyone who is so disappointed with our new Mayor, the continued mis-handling of funds, good 'ol boy politics, and cronyism: OCCUPY NEW ALBANY.
People, we can bitch and moan all we like but it makes not one bit of difference to those who are holding the reins of this city. They know they have the power. Isn't this fact evident by how many years this has been going on? They do what they want.
The only way real change is going to occur is to back up our words of disgust and disappointment with action. So, either get an action plan together or shut the hell up because all that's happening now is arguing amongst ourselves. Pointless!

You're right, 7:47. Nothing's happened before, even though we know all about malfeasance and self-aggrandizement, they continue to do it and continue to keep their fingers in the cookie jar. Let's get a move on.

yes, 7:47, I agree. Now, who do we communicate what to do when we don't know each other's names? I'm not being snarky here, just don't really know what to do.

i wouldnt be surprised if they put baylor on the insurance too, hell they gave him a free sidewalk

They should give every one a free sidewalk, not a new parking garage. That Riverview building has gone off the rails.

He's to busy attack Clere. He must truly have a hard on for the guy. Really an truly Roger carry's no weight in the democrat party. Doug Emgland will never be elected to nothing and neither wil Carl Gahan.

It seems like the local honey money is so sweet. Who wants to get off the gravy train first? Gibson or Carl?

Anonymous said...

My question to Rog is why do you continue to attack most of your former paying customers?

Anonymous said...

I was at Clere's town hall meeting yesterday. One guy got up and talked about how Clere was stubbern yet the only one who is smart enough to be in office. I don't think Clere is stubbern. He seems pretty open minded. But I agree that hes the only smart one they had up there. Grooms brings nothing but fence ridding to the talk and that lady, Rhonda Rodes, is a complete idiot! She talked more than anyone else at the meeting and said nothing. Zip. Clere lissened and responded with respect. He said he isn't against unions and I believe him. I'm union. And I relize that even if Clere votes for that bill, he's only doing it because he really thinks it's the best thing to do. I can see that. A few of our guys were sort of calling him a liar and Mitches toady but some of the rest of us saw that he really is looking out for the right anser. I saw that Baylor wrote about him and looked it up after I read it on here. Baylor's stupid. He's slightly right but also too he makes up stuff. I think Clere is one of the good guys and if he votes for that bill that I hope he's write that unions can still be strong. Otherwise I will be pretty mad. But I still don't blame Clere because I think he was sensere about studying for a year about it. Also I think Doug England will never be elected to nothing. who is Carl Gahan?

Anonymous said...

If it is true about the insurance and no one has said that it is, I really beieve it is up to England not Gahan to ask that it be resinded. His behavior his last thirty days in office was self serving and an attempt to undermine the incoming mayor.

'Carl Gahan' is a hybrid of Carl Malysz and jeff Gahan.

As a resident of the City of New Albany, a taxpayer, and pastor in this city, I call on you (Mayor Gahan) to immediately call for an investigation of Douglas B. England an a audit of taxpayers monies.

Anonymous said...

As a pastor you should know better than to judge others or participate in gossip and innuendo

Anonymous said...

Who ever wrote that about the pastor hit it head on!!!!

Anonymous said...

Gahan says he tore the executive order up. But before that happened he lied to a preacher saying that he new nothing about the executive order when it was on his desk.
Also read the minutes from board of works he consented to hire 2 more fire fighters. God help us!

There is NO plan 11:36. Why are there no minutes on line? Why did Gahan lie about Kay Garry's daughter being so on top of the new system. It's funny the SBOA says there is NO new software and she was also part of the problem when Garry was there.

What I want to know is where is my tax dollars and what is it being used for other then salaries, for businesses, developers and all the friggin attorney's with their hands out.

You folks just don't get it. The City of New Albany is broke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're not under funded, they have missed managed all of our money. Gahan hasn't got the balls to do an audit, he's spineless!!!!!!!!!!!!

he isnt spineless, he has a fused spine, part gahan, part malysz.

All you have to do is wait and see if he asks for more money over the next two years, that should give you some idea of how they are doing.
