I live in New Albany and i would like to hear from the political world on how you are going to save our city and county.

Why not open the previous posting? Besides all politicians lie look what Gahan and Phipps done.

Why does people think the city and county need to be saved? The problems you are facing is national, the trillions of debt we are in to pass along to our children. Our old world is not in a very good state.

New Albany has been in the same shape mayor after mayor! People who are really involved in the political world always say the same thing, well I thought he would be different. Instead of talking about the elected ones stand up and make them accountable . COFFEY IS DISGUSTING !
Leave your 1 suit at home Dan , you look like a wanta be.

Council meeting tonight if Dan,John,Scott,Pat,andGreg you need to look in the dictionary under stupidity I mean for the city of New Albany STUPIDITY !!!! Jeff that goes for you too. Benedetti and Benedetti husband and wife look better and better for Mayor. LOOK OUT BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO BE A BIG SPLASH. She looked great tonight her leadership excelled in my book..

Council members who voted tonight for resolution could not even justify where the money was going. And the banker Scott Blair of all people could not even justify it. Scott you better remember if it wasn't for your wife you would not of got my vote. You are done! Put your wife in she can do better!

I have to agree that the council is worthless. They have no idea what they're doing. As for Gahan helping Baylor, shame on him. Baylor knows you're afraid of him, Gahan. Sorry thing is that Gahan won't be as bold as England was at cutting him off. Gahan's in his grips and will stay there. What an idiot.

Anonymous said...

You fools, you fools can't you see what brilliant politics played out last night? Good job council!

Anonymous said...

OK I want to try and understand something. John Gonder proposed this ethic's commission and last night it passed the first and second reading. On Aug. 5th in the tribune Gonder said that the director of Rauch Industries,President of the Floyd county bar assocation, the New Albany Postmaster and the executive director of hope southern indiana will be 4 out of the 5 members on the ethic's commission. At first the 4 members would chose the 5th member of the commission. all members being picked not based on race or gender according to Gonder. But now after he was approached by the local Naacp chapter he has changed the wording to be that the local Naacp president will choose the 5th member of the commission. After the first 4 positions were picked not based on race or gender. Why is the 5th spot being picked based on race and gender ? How can he say " it is worth the move to include the Naacp and that one feature will not change and that is the board will not be influenced by politital motives when the naacp has a lot to do with local political agenda's. It also say's that no elected offical's will be allowed to serve on the board or make appointments to the commission. But i would like to know who appointed the 4 people to begin with? They also have to live within the city limits of new albany. Sounds like a lot of things need to be reserched on this before it becomes real. If i were a public employee, alarms would be going off in my head. Politics reeks all over this......

The city owns a warehouse? Where is it?

Anonymous said...

5:58 - Sorry, but I think you're off base there. Both the city attorney and council attorney reviewed and brought up no problems. Coffey was the one who sought the NAACP be added, and Gonder amended it to such before a vote. The council approved it unanimously. I don't see anything sinister about that?

Anonymous said...

See I told you, you should have voted for Denhart over Coffey.

Anonymous said...

ok 11:52 I will take your word for the time being. I guess it all depends who the naacp appoints to the commission. Only time will tell if their appointee will be a political one depending on who it is. And i know you wont say but who approched coffey to say something to Goonder about letting the naacp pick the 5th person. Coffey is not that smart to do that on his own. Sorry but i see politics all over this. I will bet that they appoint an ex-employee of the city who is related to the naacp president and a democrat. As for the attorney's, They are going to side with the council's. They can't openly disagree with thing's the council want's to do. They would not look good doing so. Still wanting an answer on how the 4 people were chosen to start the commission....And by whom

Anonymous said...

Sorry Gonder

Anonymous said...

There was politics played out last night and personal agendas played a major role. Coffey talks about being a swing vote what does that tell you. He is out for what he can get out of it. That was so embarrassing for him. I did not realize he was that stupid. The people sitting next to me we're laughing at him.
And wait a minute they take 100,000 out of my tax paying money and do not know where it's going. Coffey says figure it out . Well you know what Pat,Scott,Dan,john,greg, are going to figure it out real quick. Watch and see!!!!

Anonymous said...

The NAACP did not contact Dan Coffey they know if his lips are moving that he's lying. That's what they told me.
Marcia Booker is the one that came to the Council several times about the NAACP not Dan. John caved because he is scared of them but I can tell you they are still not happy with him. John you've lost the battle were just waiting in the wings.

Stepro didn't write anything stupid at all. She wrote simply, "Words of Wisdom." and shared the link to a Freedom of Speech blog where they address "to [sic] many boards and committees."

There's nothing at all stupid about that, but there is something a bit daffy about a dude who gets on his blog and thinks it's some sort of important point to make reference to it.

Wendy Stepro certainly didn't say anything that should get anyone all hot and bothered.

It does not matter the state of mind of Mr Hawkins he still deserves to have his representative Greg Phipps help him. He pays his taxes just like all of us. Tell him to contact Coffey he loves to fight. Coffey talks about whipping people all the time. Just make sure he is on his meds.

No, I disagree. Phipps need not waste time on a person who nobody on earth can satisfy. Since arriving in NA, he has bitched nonstop about things that are completely silly. If the city sucks so much, please move elsewhere and bitch at their leaders.

I normally don't respond to comments on political blogs, but in this case, I feel compelled to reply. I have not ignored Mr Hawkins. I have had numerous phone conversations with him during my tenure as the 3rd district councilman. I have sent several emails to appropriate city officials on behalf of complaints affecting him. I met with him, at his home, and observed several truck passing by with minimal vibration. I spent 30 minutes inside his home and noticed no significant noise or vibration, due to traffic on Main St. I told him if other Main St residents contacted me, I would go to the Board of Work. To date, I have been contacted by one other resident, who stated that the pavement repair was sufficient and that there was no problem.

One thing good about that article is they talk about this human rights and ethics commission. And how many boards is shane gibson on ??? Why does the city have 2 lawyers? Are the people on these commissions going to be paid by the city or are doing it for free ? Inquiring minds want to know. I'm still waiting to see who the naacp appointes to the ethics commission since gonder caved to the orginazation who has political agenda's in the city. And he said that the commission will have no political motives. Someone name the last time something was done in this city that didn't have to do with politics involving the city council !

The other night at the Council meeting I did not hear of any conversation about the main street with Mr Hawkins.

Most Republican Americans aren't actually frothing Limbaugh types.

I love the smell of troglodyte farts in the morning.

Crazy bunch of crap if I've ever read it.

1. If Obama is reelected, he won't take the state of Indiana. That's not happening a second time, but he'll be reelected President, and good thing.

2. I predict Pence will win for Governor. Watch out. He's a far-right nut.

3. I predict Donnelly will squeak by to win Lugar's Senate seat. I have no idea why Murdock would even come close because he, too, is a right-leaning kook, but Donnelly will wrest that seat from the Repubs and good thing!

4. Clere will win by a landslide. That woman running against him has no clue, but even if she did, he'd win. Clere's one Repub I'm glad is there. Very impressive job he's doing.

5. County Commissioners. This race is one I can't tell much about. I don't know who might win or not. Any ideas?

Any non-ignoramuses out there are welcome to give their opinion. All others need not apply.

I forgot to mention Yoder. She just might get that seat back for us. I can't read that one yet either. Any ideas?

The county commissioners. They need to get another democrat in there Steve Bush is a nut. Crying about the city improving the road's in the county to open a new industrial park. just because the city didn.t let them know what was going on. PLease. And the bridge at community park for the walking path. Wow must be a slow business month for the president of the county commissioners. I think he is forgetting where he is employed.

Bush is a winer.

Don't be so fast to declare Yoder the winner. People think she's not bright. That message isn't getting out. Also, there's still prejudice against females. She's got to overcome that obstacle.

I agree with all other races. On some, I'm glad, other's I'm mad.

Oh yes, Bush is both a winer and a diner. I have seen him out doing both. Speaking of that, I would like to wine and dine that Yoder gal. She is hot!

I really like Yoder, and she has my vote.

If these right wing nut jobs keep opening their mouths, they'll bury themselves.

Yea just like locally Gahan is prejudice against females like Benedetti. I see it with him.

Remember the Girl Scouts? Right wing clowns, keep puttin' your feet in it.

I agree about Clere. Pretty much clinched my keeping on voting for him when I found out his wife's a Girl Scout leader, but even without that, Clere's my man. He's honest, intelligent, and he puts up a helluva fight just to do what's good for us down here.

Boy Scouts are against gays and today's paper just brought more of the crap out of the woodwork about local and national prejudice. Makes me wanna puke.

Can't stand Pence. He's just another self-righteous, self-aggrandizing, pompous ass out there trying to make everyone feel all warm and fuzzy about what a goody-two-shoes he is. I can't be the only one who's sick of his commercials, sick of his face on TV, sick of his agenda, but I'm afraid you're right, 5:40. Pence will take the office.

I hope Bush loses. He's a Pence apostle.

Matthews had better lose too. If he wins, that might be the straw that breaks the camel's back and I just might move out of here.I couldn't handle a joke like that.

On Donnelly and Mourdock: I have no idea who will win, but I hope it's not Mourdock. I guarantee you he was in on that Girl Scout thing. Probably thought it was a great thing that that Rep. Whatever-his-name-was said he'd checked his sources on the internet and knew for a fact how the Girl Scout organization is run and who is in charge of it. Mourdock would go for that line of thinking, for sure.

Obama won't take Floyd, but I think it's possible he'll take Indiana. Anything's better than that dog-abuser Romney. Maybe we ought to write in his dog's name.

Biden's a moron, but these rumors about Hillary are nonsense in every way. She's not running. I wish Denhart and her friends would all shut up about it.

Demos are all messed up, but the Restupidcans are worse. What more needs to be said?

bush is not a winer. I hope he looses big time. bush is another looser.

Romney is a joke. He act's like he is a man for the people but he is a man who will lie and protect the republican party first. Then he will favor the people who donated to get him there. It would be nice to hear what he is going to do for american other than stopping everything that Obama has done. If a candidate would campain without mud slinging he would get my vote. Good leadership is a man who let's his track record speak for him. Not bashing his opponent. Stop bashing the other person running for office and tell me what you are going to do for America. And don't forget. Obama got in after 8 years of george bush. So he had to do some recouping for america also. There are a lot more poor people than rich. The republicans won't have a chance in november. Poor people will get out and vote because the republicans like cutting all the programs to help them. Politics sucks. No honor. All lies to get into office. But we keep falling for it. In reality our vote means nothing. The electoral vote is all that counts. But nothing will ever change because no one really cares. It's how rich can i get in 4 years to secure my future. Congressmen and politicans working 2-4 years and leaving with million dollar+ retirements. And they vote for this stuff. Raises and retirement benefits and health insurance coverage. Check out their insurance. No deductable and everything is covered 100 %. And at no cost to them. Us taxpayers pick up the tab. Sounds like washington needs an ethics commission.But they would vote themselves a raise and great retirement plan so we would lose again. this obama care thing the republicans are griping about doesn't even apply to them. Their insurance is second to none. It's taking money out of their rich friends pockets to give their employees health insurance that they should be giving them anyway. Please. 14 more cent's for a papa john's pizza to give his employees health insurance. I would pay a dollar more a pizza to let his employees have health coverage Instead of you people griping about local politicions. Start looking at a national level. Ton's of waste. Stuff that goes on around here is chicken feed compared to washington. This little town of New Albany doesn't sound like that bad of a place to live.

Not voting for Ed Clere. He only votes with the party and never thinks for himself. Benedetti is incompetent.

Anonymous said...

Like Romney, all Obama is doing is trashing his opponent(s) too. I wish that they would both talk about their specific visions and plans rather than constantly bashing each other. That's really all both parties and their candidates are doing now.

Anonymous said...

And you know the reason why? Since the politicions have raised the contribution level to unlimited campain donations to PAC groups, they can advertise unlimited bashing crap over the airwaves. Again these crooks have voted in an unlimited cash flow to the devil spawn of both partys. When does the american people get a say on how washington is run. NEVER. Things have gotten so out of hand that no one is watching the watchers. So you cannot give the candidate a ton of money. Just give it to his PAC group then he can spend it any way he wants. And whatever he doesn't spend he gets to keep. A legal win win for the crooks of Washington. A slimy way around the cap on political contributions. If you don't think that is crooked then you are stupid. And again, all this was voted on by the house and senate with no stopping it. And mark my words. Watch how much federal money, Our tax dollars, is pumped into the national conventions in a couple of weeks. More on that to come later.

12:44, for you to say what you said about Ed Clere, you've just proven that you aren't paying attention. Clere has risked the ire of his party on some votes and stands strong.

Benedetti? She's not much, but she's not the worst on the Council.

Anonymous said...

Good evening KT. What's new? Oh, nothing, I see. Same old same old.

Anonymous said...

Whoever said Benedetti is not much has lost there mind. I can promise you she is always there to serve with no agenda. Not like the coffey's or the Bob's from the hill. Or wait a minute the Gonder who is a do nothing. And Phipps who is a yes man because he doesn't know what he is doing. The last one is Blair who says he is a banker and gives blank checks to the Mayor. Most of these people just want to be part of the clan . Watch Pat, Scott will tell you he votes with him which every way he goes.

Paul Kiger had a fundraiser at his house for Gahan . Who is his partner and what does he do?

You talking about pretty boy Kiger? He wants to play politics then he is an open book.

yep gonder is a waste. What is he going to fold on next ? He's already folded on the ethics commission. Letting the president of the naacp pick the fifth member of the group. What makes the naacp so special that they get to pick a member of a non bias, non political, non gender based commission. They are all 3 or those. Yep looks like gonder folds again. Weak whimp.

Anonymous said...

Looks like the illiterate crew has been unleashed on KT blog again. Nothing says you're in the know like misspellings, lack of punctuation, and a basic second grader's grasp of the English language. Way to represent yourselves. Pretty sure Gonder and the commission and whoever else you're angry at is thrilled that you're not behind them.

It's a waste for the city. They will be over about 1/3 of the city employees. How much will these people make sitting on these boards? With the ethics and human rights commission's there are 10 more people on city payroll. It wouldn't be so bad if the council didn't want police and fire to give stuff up and then add 10 people to the payroll. Kinda robbing peter to pay stupid.

how about combining ethics commission with human rights commission, that way you can burn the crooks and protect the fags, don't forget to include the NAACP national association for the advancement of crybaby people
