Thank you - Veterans

THANK YOU – Councilwoman Shirley Baird for sponsoring the ordinance that would make City records easily accessible to the public.

SHAME ON YOU - Councilman Dan Coffey, Councilman Pat McLaughlin and Councilwoman Greg Phipps for voting against making it easier for the citizens to access City records.

Thank you Veterans. Your service is the reason we have the freedom to read this blog and write on here.

Thank you veterans. The newly formed Human Rights Commission is charged (I understand) with monitoring complaints regarding discrimination based on military service/veteran status.

Veterans need to be honored for what they have done for our country

Why is Connie Sipes talking with Gahan when she is bashing him all over town. Connie is always talking about someone. Put a fork in her she is done, nobody respects her anymore. Cochran on that same boat.

sipes has an overinflated opinion of her importance. She is a nobody and never was. I isnt Paul Etheridge related to her?

I have never heard Sipes say anything negative about him. You are making up more lies. As usual.

Well, I HAVE heard her say negative things about Gahan. So there.

I will add that she's real sneaky. She gushes up to Susie and Jeff like they're buddies, then complains about him.

You're right 8:38, she's the Nancy Pelosi of NA.

Anonymous said...

Gahan is stupid. That's true.
Gahan's wife is a bitch. Also true.
The Obamas are not like them though.
Barack is smart and Michelle is nice. You may not like him as President, but the truth is that they're both smart and they're both nice. Gahan, who I voted for, is a nincompoop and his wife is nasty. She looks like someone trying for the heroin chic look (out of style now since the late 90's), and she's mean and gossipy. I don't like being around her and neither do most of my friends. And I'm pretty sure Gahan's habit of slipping in late and out early to things is a result of Susie's coaching him because he difinitely doesn't think for himself. It's pretty obvious that people have to tell him everything. Mostly Nash tells him. He's certainly no leader worthy of being compared with the Obamas.

Boycott all local businesses. Let's shut them all down.

Perry County went for Obama this time because there are so many people there who depend on government handouts.

Rebecca Gardenour for Mayor? She'd do a great job, but we need her on the school board. Did you know that the school board spends more money and supervises more employees than the city and county combined? Someone tole me that recently and I had not thought of that before. For that reason we need to keep Mrs. Gardenour exactly where she is. The mayor has less power and influence. Seems stupid, but it's true.

And don't ask Connie Sipes. She ran a candidate that told lies and made us look like idiots. I don't want her to be in charge of anything else any more.

Sipes is an idiot. And a dried up old 'prune' (I'd pick a different word). She needs to get over her obsessions and she needs to butt out of trying to find candidates. We don't like her or her candidates.

That's disgusting. Even for Sipes. Her secret lovers have not included Roger. Her discussion with her campaign pick on Election Night was certainly interesting. Couldn't keep from listening. Sounds like Connie's also a liar. But even that doesn't make her low-down enough to sleep with Roger.

They may not be getting any brighter, and they may be full of malice, but you've gotta admit, Roger, they're entertaining.

Maybe we should all congratulate meatball since she will be the new HR person for the city. Gahan is bringing in another Controller. I guess the meatball found her level of incompetence so she has to be moved to another job she is not qualified for. Maybe then the city can reduce the controller's bond back down to where it should be. A half million dollar bond is a bit much.

This "meatball" person you keep talking about has a name. Mary Ann. You are right that she has problems balancing the books and has no business working there. You are right that she's in with the "inner circle." You are right about some of her other habits, like growing pot at her house. But she has a name. If you can't spell Prestigiacomo, theh write Mary Ann because that's her name. Tooke me forever to figure out who "meatball" is.

Gahan is too busy giving awards to teachers to bother to be taking care of other things in New Albany. The other night I drove past the parking garage down on Market adn I saw Ed and Amy Clere out there putting up lights. there were some other people, but why in the world wouldn' Jeff be out there helping them? I don't get why the Gahans don't care about the city. It's obvious the Cleres do. Ed Clere for Mayor!

Anonymous said...

Seems like Gahan is up to some shit. Just the other day he went before the Horse Shoe Board trying to strong Arm them for funds for a new ballpark. Damn Jeff, you don't bite the hand that feeds you. What a total dumb ass he is...

Anonymous said...

I support Becky Gardenour for mayor. She's got brains, guts, style and class. And that's what New Albany needs.

Anonymous said...

The teachers would never invite Clere to any event that would celebrate education. They know how much he hates public school teachers and kids. He would be the first to show up for a corporate event though. Real estate, construction, private companies are his favorites! If his wife joins him, you can bet she will be wearing one of his old sweaters too.

The teachers never invite Clere to anything, I'll bet. How else could they not know how much he loves public school teachers and kids. Sounds like you're trying to create your own myth there, Susie. Your jealousy and wickedness are showing. It's amazing that you get on here like this instead of doing the right thing and putting up lights in town. Kudos to the Cleres for being willing to help out, no matter how tedious a task. I like them both.

Hey 5:55, I got one of those 'old sweaters.' Don't you go around calling my favorite sweatshirt "old". I'm proud of mine. If Mrs. Clere is too, good for her.

Anonymous said...

Wow. We've got a little angst here, haven't we? My, my. "Since when should" Mrs. Gahan hang lights? Seems like Mrs. Gahan should be helping out the city. Guess she's too arrogant for that (but I already suspected that since she hasn't bothered to speak to us down here).

I liked Matt Denison who was NEVER, EVER above hanging lights all over downtown, even without pay. Matt was more than his weight in gold, yet he did a lot of what he did off the clock and without charge to the taxpayer. As far as I'm concerned, MATT DENNISON is TOP NOTCH! As for Ed Clere, if he was doing lights, then I wish I would have voted for him instead of listening to that old lady berate him and convince me he was for "mega schools." Next time I will. I should have listened to FOS. GO ED CLERE! Thanks for the lights.

Gahan can apparently add the New Albany Fire Museum to the list of entities he cares nothing about. Showed up last night at the Fire Museum Chili Cook-Off by slipping in the side door, standing along the wall and talking to some firemen, and then slipping out without talking with anyone else. People all over the room were talking about it. Clearly he doesn't care about this great asset to NA.

As for Mrs. Gahan helping put up Christmas lights, yes, she SHOULD. She think she's above doing that, does she? It wouldn't be new for her not to care about NA. Unless it has to do with the schools, she couldn't care less.

Jeff Gahan had a lot of help from people all over the city when he got elected. He's shoving it back in people's faces. This kind of conduct doesn't go unrewarded on election day.

You can count on losing by a landslide, even if it's Roger Baylor that runs against you, Jeff. You will lose by a landslide to the lowest of the low if you run for reelection. You can count on that.

Concerned NA Citizen said...

She won't be able to help put up Christmas light's. Our good New Albany Fireman have already done it. I saw they had Bank street blocked yesterday and were putting up light's on a building. Maybe she can help take them down after Christmas. But i bet that won't happen.

Anonymous said...

I have looked through all of the old posts from the last two years in November. No place did it mention the First Lady hanging lights. How would she even know? I am sure none of you fine people even included her in your light it up party. Ease up. Your claws are showing, girls.

Anonymous said...

First Lady. LOL. We're not talking about Michelle Obama! We're talking about the mayor's wife! Oh, and you sure are worried about this, Susie. Imagine taking the time to go through all the old posts in November.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

I thought you were supposed to be leading the teachers and bossing around kids. Isn't that your job?

Shelley England helped put up lights and worked on Develope New Albany and did all kinds of stuff. Some people might say she was too much in the cities things but I say she was good to show us she cared. Susie Gahan is from a generation that don't care no how about nothing but whatever it is that makes her look good and get a promotion in her school job which is not to help the city.

Leave it to Susie Gahan to refer to herself as "the First Lady." Wow.

Anonymous said...

Remember that old saying, "If you can, do, and if you can't, teach." Fits Susie to a T. She can't, so she's holed up at the school all day. She doesn't help with podunk things like lights because she can't. It's not her fault.

Anonymous said...

Sounds more to me like they're "ate up" with contempt. But what do I know. Mrs. Gahan is not much as far as I've noticed. Doesn't add much to Gahan's administration, not even a pretty face. But then it would take a lot more than an attractive and active wife to make up for Gahan's big mess in the city. That's the point. Gahan is what my kids would call an "epic fail." End of story.

Anonymous said...

Agreed, 4:35. Epic fail is a good way to put this administration. Also, I happen to know that the former "first lady" was also helping put up lights one evening. Interesting. The deposed mayor and his wife were spotted in NA helping put up lights. Might have been the same evening the Cleres were there. I've seen a several people down there including, Barksdale the historian, Stephanie Griffith and her kids, Clere and his wife and kids. Who cares about NA? It's obvious.

Anonymous said...

Wait a minute Susie said the kids did not get the email from one southern Indiana about the parks. Susie that is not acting like a lady at all or a principle in my book. I really don't care what you look like or if you put Christmas lights up. If you are going to say something and its smart leading on the side of being a smart ass, please don't speak.

Anonymous said...

Funny how you old fat gossips think you are so great because you threw a strand of lights on a bush. I agree. You are jealous.

Anonymous said...

To me it's the whole package. I remember her saying that. She said that the kids didn't get the message from 1SI. Well, what poor kid in the inner city is ever going to get a message from anyone, schools, chamber of commerce, anyone? They won't. And what about what Gahan himself said about no kids being there at that meeting. No kids, eh? Well, on a school night, at around 8:30 or 9:00, kids should be HOME. H-O-M-E! Besides, I saw some kids there at the meeting earlier. Dont' know who they were, but they were there. It's true.

Problem is, Gahan and his wife and the thugs from the third floor want to convince all of us that truth is lies and that lies is truth. THAT is what makes me think very little of our mayor and his wife. They lie and they don't listen. To anyone.

As for putting lights out on a bush, well, I think it would be mighty nice if our mayor and his wife DID start doing stuff like that. MAYOR ENGLAND AND SHELLE DID!!!! What's that tell you? Even THEY helped around with the little chores around the city. Like them or not, they made NA a better place to live in. Not so, the Gahans. They live out in a neighborhood on the outskirts of town and couldn't care less about the city.

England was drunk, boorish, egocentric, attention seeking, dishonest and a whole lot of other bad things, but even I would rather have him back. Whatever is going on with Gahan is nothing but evil and it's a whole lot more sinister than anything England did. Gahan won't take phone calls from the group that saw that he made it into office. Something is very wrong with that.

And there's more to it than that. Gahan isn't at all smart. He's ignorant and stupid. He's at the beck and call of a nasty someone. Dont' know if it's Warren Nash or who it is, but someone is in charge of the city and it's not Gahan. It's evil.
