ANYONE ELSE?

Boy, that was a news flash yesterday about Etheridge and Josh Clemons.  We're just wondering if it's the tip of the iceberg.

Two ballots were wrong?  The people weren't eligible to vote?  There was a whole lot more than two ballots wrong with that election and we've always known the high rise is the place where a lot of fraud can and does occur.

We'll wait and see what else is coming down the pike because we KNOW Etheridge will sing like a canary.

VOTE NO FOR STEVE BUSH

We are urging all to vote for Dennis Roudenbush for County Commissioner.  With the new State Law in effect, even if Bush won he would have to give his seat up and let a caucus decide who your next Commissioner will really be.

There is a refund from Humana in the amount of $169,000.00.  Bush wants to give each County employee $600.00.  We say no.  This is taxpayers' money and we would like to see this go towards our County budget.

Irv Stumler gave Bush $5,000.00; J.B. Evans gave $500 and Bush also has Darrell Mills (of all people) supporting him.  JUST VOTE NOOOO.

Perline (Pearline?) was head of Human Resources for the City has been terminated and Kaye Garry's daughter is now also head of Human Resources and Controller.  Kaye has ended up working for the Police Department. 

For the Human Rights Commission, I understand Diane Baylor (Roger's wife) has been appointed to this Board.  Is that correct?  Hmmppffhh.  Is her tolerance level equal to her husband's?  What a strange pick. 

VACATION TIME

"WE" DON'T THINK SO....

Blah - enough is enough.  Unfortunately for some of us, this blog seems to get hijacked by people who want to use it as a means to propel their hate filled messages against gays, blacks, and anyone or anything else who disagrees with their thought process.

Here's something for your thought process:

The Republicans have introduced:

46 Bills on abortion

113 Bills on religion

73 Bills on family relationships

36 Bills on marriage

72 Bills on firearms

604 Bills on taxation

467 Bills on government investigation


And Blocked the American Jobs Act.

FLOYD COUNTY THINGS

Good job, Floyd County, for some of the road paving you have been doing.  (And, we don't have to worry about the road being tore back up within two months!)

We are not agreeing with US having to pay for Henderson's mistakes re the Camm trial.  He had advance warning he COULD NOT do what he did do.  As far as we are concerned, that's what HIS insurance is for.  But, that's just our opinion.

Speaking of David Camm, the third ugly trial is coming up.    We have never seen anything divide a whole community (the entire County) as this subject has.  We still feel strongly about the Boney DNA not coming out in the first trial and probably more importantly, WHY it did not come out.  We don't particularly care whether Stan Faith said the buck stopped with him.  Huh Uh....

GOOD NEWS FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD!!!!

It has been a long, hard, drawn out battle for years upon years - but - CONGRATULATIONS, Linden Meadows Neighborhood!  Within a month, demolition will start tearing down the houses which never did belong there, per HUD.  We hear Gahan is trying to take credit but I don't see how he can do that thing with one of his employees, Carl, up to his neck in this debacle.  Coffey is trying to take credit, too.  No way!!!!

Yep, we hear Carl Malysk, John Miller and Ted Fulmore have some serious explaining to do before the Feds.  The Bank was a little bit persnickety in wanting their monies, huh?  We feel this whole project was contrived from the get go, trying to get it to work any way "they" could.  We hope the neighborhood will be able to revert that property back into the park which existed before.  We're pulling for you all!

Welcome back, Grace Schneider!  New Albany/Floyd County have missed you.  So long, Harold Adams. 

What's the scoop on Chief Knight?  Did she go to the Commissioners asking for $200,000.00?  For what, 911?  We understand Chief Knight will not tell the City Council how much these Alive At Five Concerts are costing the City for the police officer's overtime and/or who's paying for it.  It's not going to be easy covering some things up anymore now that the monies have been ordered separated from one another, i.e., sanitation, storm water, sewers, etc.  Though, this blog has to ask - once the funds are separated, what happens when we find out we don't have any money to put into a fund?  Sure ought to be interesting.

One more question.  How many of Mickey Thompson's relatives are now working for the Street Department?  Nepotism is alive and well in New Albany....

Oh, well.  What else is new?
