Get ready Mayor Gahan will be having the firefighters vote to get rid of the ambulance. It will come across in a different perspective but that is how it will go down. The Mayor then will contract the ambulance service out for the CIty of New Albany. With a company who has there home office in Evansville. Let's see what the Firefighters do for us citizens.
He is not having the firefighters vote on getting rid of the ambulance. That is a done deal decided by him and the council. They do not want to belly up the money to keep the fire dept. ambulance running. Don't blame the firefighters for this one. get some facts before you post something you have no idea about.
meatball and meatball mama ought to work on a holiday since they don't work on a work day, what a waste of taxes they are, momma mia thatsa a lousy meatball
meatball and meatball mama are always working....working the system. how many cities entrust their money to someone who cant even manage their own money and file for bankruptcy?
I have not seen a public vote from the council om this. Know what your talking about. I have been attending meetings for the council. No reason to get hateful.
not being hateful but this problem has been going on for months. The council knows how much is needed to fund the firefighters ambulance and they said no earlier in the year. They are aware of all this. that's why the mayor is stopping it from running.
How about the Mayor takes the $100,000 given to the Board of Works to spend on "quality of life" items and use it for the ambulance to help save peoples lives?
It would take more than 100K to keep the service running. But good thought. the tax base in new albany sucks. The loit tax would help but for some reason that tax is tabou in this city. Child mentalities. The tax only affects people who are working. in a small amount.
1:19 - The tax base sucks because all the city strives to attract is low income citizens. It’s time to start thinking outside of the low income box and attract higher income citizens to work and live in this community. When there is an increase in the demographics and tax base, loit may be better received. Currently there are too few people who are shouldering the cost of the city’s services and to continue to ask them to pay more and more is unreasonable and simply just unfair.
Let's make that statement again the Mayor is saying no. If the issue would come to Council he doesn't know what would be done. He works around the Cuncil every way possible.
You're right I met with Gahan he told me not to talk to any Council and especially Benedetti. He said he could handle all the deals. Gahan is a back door SOB
Firefighters cry when they have to ride the ambulance a bunch of whinnie babies. All about I not community. Oh wait a minute they will say I am away from my families . We can solve that go to 8 hr shifts and not have that second job .
If I hear Pat Mclaughlin talk about Benedetti one more time while he is drinking and getting slushed at the road house I will call her immediately to show up. Benedetti don't talk behind people's backs she confronts them face to face that's what I like about her.Keep drinking Pat that's your reputation.
Obviously not, anonymous 8:03, because we continue to live and breathe just as you do. You seem to consider yourself to be superior, although you use the term "y'all" like a typical illiterate idiot yourself. Takes one to know one, I guess.
7:09 Loit would help the ambulance service now because it is run by the fire dept. this so-called vote they are having this week according to 7:05 must be new business about the ambulance. would be interesting to know what that is about.
Love Mayor Gahan?? Yea, right. Ask the former employees that were let go this year,who were lied to and told that their jobs were safe. While others like Carl M are still there
Carl is still there because Gahan could not run the city without the help of Carl. Carl is the only one working on the 3rd floor and the only one who knows what is going on most of the time. I have been there many of times when Carl has to stop everything he is doning to run and help Gahan fix his mistakes.
The ones that have been let go were the ones that did nothing except collect a paycheck.
I applaud Mayor Gahan for trimming the fat and getting rid of some of the dead weight in the City County Building. It was about time somebody did that!
Gahan is a joke and Carl is an idiot, fire gahan and malysz next election and while some firing is going on, time to dump meatball and mama meatball, now those two are some serious fat
Terry Ginkins raising funds for Mayor Gahan, is that his pay back for the big contract with the flood control? I would like to see that envelope being passed.
7:52 The article in the tribune was confusing. The way it reads, it looks like the fire union is voting to keep the ambulance in or out of the contract. My source told me that the ambulance is gone rather they vote to keep it in or out. The mayor has the final say on the ambulance service in new albany. So he didn't understand why it was a union vote. Sounds very confusing to me.
Hey that ginkens guy did get that contract. You know he was with that England for years and still is. That's the ones like with Mattingly , I geuss those envelopes are still flowing. Wait just ask Mac, or Jacobi Toombs.
Yea I am glad the industrial park is coming along, thanks to Mr.Shine. Now I am ready for One Southern Indiana to market it. Bring that business in. I hope that no one has to deal with New Albanies economic director that's a joke.
Always remember Dan Coffey you can't put too much on him because he doesn't know how to work. Unless someone advises Dan on a direction that's what he sticks to in a meeting because he doesn't think outside that box.
Stan Robison is a waste all he wants to do is sue!! Shane has had a bad attitude with things in dealing with the council and other boards. You know an attorney is schooled to be argumentative . But I can see the change in Shane and it's really ashame. The eight years has really taken a toll on him. As you can tell I use to be a big fan but it has dwindled. I was a witness last night Benedetti's performance was outstanding. I had heard how well she was doing and I wanted to see for my self. She is someone we should be proud of having serve our community. Let her know that, the administration is doing everything to defeat her that was obvious.
Why is someone a 'loser' and a ''dumb ass' for picking up cigarette butts? The real dumb ass and loser is the person(s) who put them there in the first place. And the person who made that comment.
Last night Diane looked very Presidential dealing with the blowup between Shane and Kevin. She maintained control of the meeting, even after Coffey made rude comments toward her. I witnessed this firsthand and felt she handled herself very well. Kudos to you Diane.
Baylor's at it again. Trying to get people to vote for that horrible presidnet Obama. He gets on a loosing cause and thinks everyone is for him. But they are not. I'm poor, black and Democrat, and I am NOT voting for Barack Obama. He isn't a real American black anyway. I can not understand why anyone is still under Obama's spell. I'm not any more! Not ANY MORE!
I can't believe how many places i've been in new albany and still see people smoking. I thought there was a state wide smoking ban. Pretty depressing that people are so selfish they break the law just to satisify their nicotine addiction.
Yeah, yeah, yeah... I am rich, white and male. I am NOT voting for Romney. No one can believe anything he and his lying friends have to say. They will say anything to get elected.
yep. I agree. we wouldn't be in this mess without 8 yrs of G.Bush. All the deregulating of the banks killed the housing market with all those fake loans to make loan people rich.

Let public employees invest in a 401K like the rest of us have to..how many people lost their pensions or the value of them plummeted in 2008? The PERF system is heavily overfunded, do people in private sector jobs or the self-employed have any cushy pensions when they retire? Combine city and county government and see how far you get...how much tax revenue is saved...but try dealing w/ AFSCME and the FOP
Open comment to Lee Cotner and Becky GardinGardenour;
You have both been on the school board for way too long...under your watch, test scores have gone down, teen pregnancy rates are up, you closed four elementary schools and one school is on probation re accreditation.
Becky and Lee; the governor only gets 8 years, the President only gets 8 years..you two need to give it a restand make room for Dooley and Knable. Thank you for your years of service, but it's time to lay it down
Ok 7:33 as usual you have no idea what your talking about. The PERF is funded by monthly money taken out of every public employee's check. So your statement of overfunded is a flat out lie. Know your facts before you type false statements on here.
PERF is funded only in part by employee contributions; it is matched by funds from the Indiana General Fund which is allocated by the General Assembly. Check out your own facts

I have not seen a public vote from the council om this. Know what your talking about. I have been attending meetings for the council. No reason to get hateful.
I though Gahan was against privatization, haha Gahan you are such a phony, no wonder suzie is looking around
Hey Gahan what are you doing for Labor day celebrating how you don't work and still make an overpaid salary while ripping off the taxpayers?
You are the biggest disgrace in the city's history.
Like Hillary said shame on you.
not being hateful but this problem has been going on for months. The council knows how much is needed to fund the firefighters ambulance and they said no earlier in the year. They are aware of all this. that's why the mayor is stopping it from running.
How about the Mayor takes the $100,000 given to the Board of Works to spend on "quality of life" items and use it for the ambulance to help save peoples lives?
thatsa good idea , hey meatball show em how to shuffle da money, now thatsa one tricky meatball, like a MOMMA LIKA DAUGHTER
It would take more than 100K to keep the service running. But good thought. the tax base in new albany sucks. The loit tax would help but for some reason that tax is tabou in this city. Child mentalities. The tax only affects people who are working. in a small amount.
Boy, those meatball jokes are so funny. At least the first 87 times.
not as funny as the funny money deals now thatsa funny meatball and if its gets to spicey itsa gonna burn you mama
hey Baylor did you celebrate labor day, oh tht's right you dont have a real job

Your ambulance is gone being contracted out like I said I am a firefighter and I have to vote this week to take it out of our contract.
Firefighters cry when they have to ride the ambulance a bunch of whinnie babies. All about I not community. Oh wait a minute they will say I am away from my families . We can solve that go to 8 hr shifts and not have that second job .
I am watching the Firefighters vote this week!
Loit does not help the ambulance only police and fire.
Could it free money to run the ambulance?
If I hear Pat Mclaughlin talk about Benedetti one more time while he is drinking and getting slushed at the road house I will call her immediately to show up. Benedetti don't talk behind people's backs she confronts them face to face that's what I like about her.Keep drinking Pat that's your reputation.
Idiots, all of you. How do you keep yourselves alive? Takes more smarts than all y'all have put together.
Obviously not, anonymous 8:03, because we continue to live and breathe just as you do. You seem to consider yourself to be superior, although you use the term "y'all" like a typical illiterate idiot yourself. Takes one to know one, I guess.

words flew all over the place on here yesterday. Guess people actually do have jobs. They had a day off to fuss and fume.
Mayor Gahan works for the good of the people. He is much better than that crook England. WE LOVE MAYOR GAHAN!
Love Mayor Gahan?? Yea, right. Ask the former employees that were let go this year,who were lied to and told that their jobs were safe. While others like Carl M are still there

Welcome back no name coward!
I saw that dumbass bagshaw picking up cigarette butts down on ernie ave. What a loser.
What did you think about the article in the Tribune on the Ambulance?
Diane b got locked up again for drunk driving. That is why she can't get a job.
Who is Diane B?
Terry Ginkins raising funds for Mayor Gahan, is that his pay back for the big contract with the flood control?
I would like to see that envelope being passed.

yeah what is going on with that? I read the story in the newspaper.
This is all about firem department overtime....if juliot ran the department right the ambulance could make money.
Next the 911 will be privatized.
Your comments prove it: Rog and his cadre are the only ones who can read in this town.
who is this juliot person for the fire department?
No The city should not be involved in 911 at all. It is a county responsibility, let them have it.
Final vote has came and went now we are just waiting for the final tally. How do you think the Firefighters will go?
Hey that ginkens guy did get that contract. You know he was with that England for years and still is. That's the ones like with Mattingly , I geuss those envelopes are still flowing. Wait just ask Mac, or Jacobi Toombs.
Coffey would not know his ass from a whole in the ground.
Yea I am glad the industrial park is coming along, thanks to Mr.Shine. Now I am ready for One Southern Indiana to market it. Bring that business in. I hope that no one has to deal with New Albanies economic director that's a joke.
Always remember Dan Coffey you can't put too much on him because he doesn't know how to work. Unless someone advises Dan on a direction that's what he sticks to in a meeting because he doesn't think outside that box.
So there was a verbal spat between Zurschmiede and Gibson? That's cute. Too bad they didn't come to blows. That really would have been entertaining.
Shane Gibson and his smug attitude. Come on out Shane for prosecutor we are waiting to thump you again. Ed we thought taught you a lesson.
why is the city paying shame gibson to attend the council meetings?
Stan Robison is a waste all he wants to do is sue!!
Shane has had a bad attitude with things in dealing with the council and other boards. You know an attorney is schooled to be argumentative . But I can see the change in Shane and it's really ashame. The eight years has really taken a toll on him. As you can tell I use to be a big fan but it has dwindled. I was a witness last night Benedetti's performance was outstanding. I had heard how well she was doing and I wanted to see for my self. She is someone we should be proud of having serve our community.

benedetti is a drunk
fork u thrasher go do another idiotic art project with you loser louisville friend
Last night Diane looked very Presidential dealing with the blowup between Shane and Kevin. She maintained control of the meeting, even after Coffey made rude comments toward her. I witnessed this firsthand and felt she handled herself very well. Kudos to you Diane.
So your actually calling Benedetti a drunk. The higher man upstairs will deal with you. Misery loves company and your one of them .
Wasn't Coffey a drop out in school? Or is it all the drugs he did?
Roger get your face off of your blog! We want to see the Carnegie event. It was a privilege for you to be there.
I thought live at 5 was tonight? It said it was starting back in September what a joke.
Yea Gahan was there on the dime of Terry Ginkens. At least that's what his wife said on there guest list.
Live at five is the next three Fridays starting on the 14th
"Gahan: Private ambulance ‘our best shot’ for efficiency"
"City Taxpayers: Merged 911 with county our best shot for efficiency"
fork you gahan you lying sob

go have another drink Benedetti
Harvast Homecoming just around the corner. Let's see how many booths the committee can run off this year.
Pence + Bennett + Clere +Rhodes + Grooms = bad news for kids in public schools.
I don't think Benedetti needs your permission to have a drink. Why are you so worried about her.
Pence is bad for public employees. He wants to get rid of the pensions, and let the employees invest them.
Let public employees invest in a 401K like the rest of us have to..how many people lost their pensions or the value of them plummeted in 2008?
