ENFORCEMENT

We all have issues with non-enforcement of the laws, or selective enforcement of New Albany laws.  This is your opportunity to sound off about which laws in this town that are not being enforced and your guesstimate as to how much money this is costing our City.

What can we do about these issues?

159 comments:

  1. I vote for lack of housing codes enforcement, past due sewer bills and parking. The way the city takes care of it is to do their jobs.

  2. I would like to know how come Shane Gibson and Doug England gave Atty. Bearsley an options of: purchase 3 parking passes downtown and we will forgive the $26,000+ parking tickets.

    That illegal!

    Those Crooked Rat B@st@rds.

    Grrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  3. I think because B knows about the selective enforcement and the other two don't want to take him on. That's what I think.

  4. let me go check that out.

  5. There seems to be more questions than answers on England, Gibson and Malysz.

  6. These issues has to be confronted.

  7. England's deals wouldn't pass a lie detector test, in a court of law. No way, no how.

  8. Where did the 6 million dollars go that the State of Indiana gave to New Albany for taking over the hwy.?

    ReplyDelete
  9. Any current council member who is a candidate that supports the new parking garage Thursday will be voted out of office. This is NOT a threat, this is a promise!

    Have the balls to vote NO!

    ReplyDelete
  10. If Gahan supports and votes for this $12 million parking garage he will lose my vote. He can take that to the bank.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Been wondering about that 6 million $ myself. I also wonder why they made the INDOT garage a parking garage for the city police.

    It's the usual squander and waste.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I agree with you Fed Up. We don't give a dang about DNA and what they think. It's as is as usual.
    Same old people, same old game, using our money to fatten their pockets.

  13. Which part of this and the River View Dev don't you all understand?

    This is the way it's always been. Just ask the Adminis. And, if you don't like it, tough. There are vested interests (conflict of interests). The Boards are stacked. What else is new?

    The numbers don't add up, numbers don't add up, people don't add up. Another day. Good luck on a good fight.

  14. We understand where Z and Messer are wrapped up tight. How the hell did they get Gahan? Jeff, some strong advice. The MAJORITY, the majority, of citizens do not want to pay for RV. We have been there and done that. We can see clearly now. Hope the Council Attorney advises the Council on whether there is a "shall" or "will" pay the taxpayers back. Good luck on reading the documents, or even retrieving them for that matter. The devil is in the details. WE know. NO to RV.

    YES to getting downtown restored.

    Come on, GAHAN. Are you sure you're not voting on financials Thursday night? Is the deal such as there is no vote on financials until you approve the project so "they" can get financing? Are you kidding us?

    This project is snowballing through hell faster than the speed of light. I guess that way it won't melt.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I voted for Gahan in the primary, but if they hoodwink him in on this one. I'll vote for the landscaper. Surely he's got more sense than this.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Even King Larry knows this is a scam. Build it and we will pay.

    ReplyDelete
  17. How dumb do they think we are? Now the council is another topic. Give us a break I thought Gahan was the good guy? Looks like he's no damn better than what we got.

    ReplyDelete
  18. First rule of thumb if England is pushing a resolution then were screwed.

    They voted out the only councilman who made sense.

    Them A**holes sitting on council need to all go to jail. It's our friggin money and I don't want another parking garage.

    How about you?

    ReplyDelete
  19. I bet my man Price votes NO.

  20. I smell another con job.

  21. Non-enforcement of parking regulation for RIVER CITY WINERY!

    They continue to park their oversized truck on the city streets and leave them parked in the same spots for days on end.

    They want citizens to support their business but they wont even obey city ordinances.

    ReplyDelete
  22. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW THE VOTE GOES--WE WILL NOT BE ON THE HOOK YET------BESIDES MOST ON THE COUNCIL ARE BETTING AGAINST THEM BEING ABLE TO GET FINANCING EVEN IF IT PASSES----I MEAN---THEY HAVE TO CONVINCE SOMEONE THAT A 30 MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT WILL SUCCEED IN DOWNTOWN NA----IT IS A LONGSHOT AND BEST

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'M SCARED OF YOUR BET. LONGSHOTS SCARE ME - LOOK WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE LAST LEG OF THE TRIPLE CROWN. LOT OF MUD.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Has Jeff Gahan actually indicated support for the TIF inclusion on Thursday? Previously he had big problems with it.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Read that way in the paper. Z & Messer and Gahan.

    ReplyDelete
  26. And what happens if "they" don't get the financing or do they have their own personal bank?

    ReplyDelete
  27. 5 PM @ Shilo. Larry Scharlow will be Jack Messers Deputy Mayor.

    ReplyDelete
  28. WE DO NOT NEED A DEPUTY MAYOR. LARRY, PLEASE DO NOT BOTHER RUNNING A GAIN ON MY DEMOCRAT TICKET.

    ReplyDelete
  29. *AGAIN* - though got to say, how does that help your camaign, Jack? Useless SOBS.

  32. I hope Dave Matthews is there to see what kind of party(s) we have in town. Is he a Democrat, is he a Pub, or is he an Independent?

    Sick, Sick, Sick.

  33. it took baylor nearly four years and lots of licking of englands @ss crack, but it looks like he maybe getting england figured out. guess fluff got stuffed by england! your one way bet with england was the wrong way to go baylor. u should have listened to the rest of us to begin with.

    let me guess, he's probably promised you one way if you vote for him as councilman. you going to fall for that again fluff?

    ReplyDelete
  34. So Messer isn't going to Council, and none of the others? Speaks volumes. But, maybe they won't have the votes for RV.

    ReplyDelete
  35. 7-2 vote. Price and Coffey voted against.

    Damn them other 7 council members.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Messer is a loser all the way around.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Great posting FOS. You hit the nail right on the head.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hey Jeff, what the hell were you thinking?

    ReplyDelete
  39. Baylor's been fluffing England for so long, he has no idea what England's been doing to him! I wouldn't expect him to know about it even now. Just check out his blog and how he's accusing people of stuff he has no idea at all about.

    Nothing new with Fluffinstuff.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Scharlow, Messers campaign manager and Smith his communication handler. The two most disliked people in New Albany. Your doomed Jack!

    Roflmao.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Hell, my man Price could beat them all.

    ReplyDelete
  42. If you remember--caesar ran scharlows campaign four years ago in the primary so you can put him in jack's corner

    ReplyDelete
  43. btw-----the vote does not matter----i will be very surprised if they get financing.

    ReplyDelete
  44. THE VOTE MATTERS, TRUST ME!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I've gotta say, none of the above, nor the vote, surprises me. Matter of fact, you would be hard pressed to shock me at this point in time and what with everything I know - about who is who, who blows who, .....

    BUT, (which negates every thing I just said), what do you think about England running for Mayor? Sure, three weeks ago I was laughing about it when I heard the rumors. Then, a couple of weeks ago, I heard it from someone I trust. Then, I heard it for sure tonight. I still don't want to believe it, but, I have to tell you. It is reality. June 30th, come on.

    ReplyDelete
  46. God help us if England is running for mayor. Really.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Anything to water down the vote and keep Gahan from winning and the others from losing their jobs.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I wish I could have sympathy for Jack but I can't. For him to state he's not a racist because his daughter is married to a blackman. He don't just sound like a racist - he is one.

    How many times have you heard Messer use the "n" word? I HAVE heard it several times and so has many others at roll call and on the street.

    Yah know it's people like Jack that would make someone and act extremely racist.

    Jack doesn't want to give up sll the good N - word jokes.

    As Oprah says, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's a duck.

    Shame on you Jack.

    ReplyDelete
  49. By the way, once you go black, you never go back. Go out and bang a black woman or two, I guarantee it'll cure your racism, Jack.

    Roflmao

    ReplyDelete
  50. How come NO one has pulled Messer's employment records?

    ReplyDelete
  51. What's in it for Scharlow or Smith?

    ReplyDelete
  52. I'm loss for words.

    ReplyDelete
  53. You'd have to ask Scharlow and Smith. Why go against the Democrat candidate if you are a Democrat, ahem....

    ReplyDelete
  54. Aren't police records kept secret unless someone like the Press gets them?

    ReplyDelete
  55. Caeser and Smith and Scharlow. What do the three of them have in common? What a joke. GO GAHAN.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Scharlow and Smith have no loyalty whatsoever to the Democrat Party. Smith is __________ (fill in the blank). Scharlow's just annoying.

    Why do we have the constant crap from these people anyway? Our party is sick and tired of them making the rest of us look like nasty, angry scumbags. We've got enough problems with the crooks in the party who take all the money and run.

    Disgusting.

    ReplyDelete
  57. scharlow took a republican ballot in 1999 and 2000----jack took a republican ballot this year--and asked to run as mayor as a republican

    ReplyDelete
  58. randy smith---he is not the one on pamela drive is he? I am looking up his voting record

    ReplyDelete
  59. Randy Smith, I can assure you, has never voted Republican. He's as vitriolic a Republican-hater as Roger is. When he can't find fault with them, he lies about them and spreads his lies all over town, just like Fluffinstuff does.

    We will never, EVER, solve New Albany's problems with Democrats that automatically hate all Republicans. The Republicans, as far as I can tell (locally) don't hate us. But somehow, we hate them.

    Not this Democrat, baby. Some of our most effective and caring public officials are Republicans and I don't care of Wilcox hates hearing that or not. It's true.

    ReplyDelete
  60. They don't hate Republicans, 6:54. They hate Republican policies. There is a difference. I've been a Democrat my whole life, and I can see the difference.

    ReplyDelete
  61. 7:05 you're so wrong.
    They do hate republicans and it is very apparent.

    The local Democrats can’t every get anything done in this town or willing to diligently try and get things done. Code enforcement was #1 agenda for England. What’s been done? Nada.

    At least the last Republican in office tried to tackle and deal with the real problems in New Albany...code enforcement through rental registration, budget busting compensation paid to the City’s public protection employees, EPA lawsuit over sewer violations, even got a new fire station built, and got the ball rolling to getting us a YMCA.

    What have the Democrats done and what is there to show for all the money? It looks like our local Democrats should take a good hard look at their own policies before they go shooting off at the mouth about the policies of any other party.

    I hope our next leadership, no matter what party they are, will have the balls to finally do what is expected of them.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Looks like Randy Smith turned on his brothers. You do know the progressive eat their young don't you? He's losing his business, he's desperate to grab hold of a racist loser.

    Didn't they learn you can't promise voters what they can't deliver.

    You better watch out Jack campaigning on taxpayers time, because this time we got people riding around with cam corders and were going to nail your ass for sure!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Where's all those Messer supporters? Let's take all them crooked a@@holes out for good this time.

    Gahan for Mayor.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Randy created his own demise by his choices in bed fellows. Piss brew will do that to you.

    ReplyDelete
  65. 8:37 am. Why bash all Democrats? Why not lay the problems at the feet of the man who has been in office X amount of years now?

    I may be a Democrat, but have been known to cross party lines and vote for the PERSON, not the party.

    And, the shame of it all is, the current Mayor isn't even from this City, or County, or State. And we let him do this to our fair City or did it start before him?

    Why doesn't the Republican Party come up with a viable candidate?

    Sorry, you'll just have to do better than bashing us all. Some Dems have truly tried to make a difference.

    ReplyDelete
  66. unfortunately there are just too many bad apples in the demo party

    ReplyDelete
  67. Happy Father's Day, Dad.

    ReplyDelete
  68. You have an excellent point, 5:13. I'm a Democrat, but I certainly have NOTHING to do with the current administration being in office. I've wondered exactly what you ask:

    "And the shame of it all is, the current Mayor isn't even from this City, or County, or State. And we let him do this to our fair City or did it start before him?"

    And the Republican Party isn't any help. Who in their party came out? Some guy named Bagshaw? Pretty weak choice on that Matthews' part. The best thing to have come out of the Republican party is State Rep Ed Clere. he makes up for ALL the rest of 'em. The rest of the Republicans live out of the city. They're a bunch of suburbanites. Dumb.

    Get rid of anyone having close ties to England, and don't vote in his toady Messer either.

    ReplyDelete
  69. You got that right 4:37am Ed Clere is the best of the best and Becky Gardenour runs a close second.

    What do the democrats have? Messer? England? Gibson? Malysz? Gonder? Ceasar? Benedetti? Coffey?

    All a real piece of shit too.

  74. With that much yawning going on, it's no wonder we're hearing rumblings of business failure.

  75. May I suggest, as the Blog Administrator, if you wish to continue your whatevers with New Albanian, you go to his blog and take it up with him.

    There are important issues in this town and he's not one of them. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  76. I'm hearing it was England's decision about Windstream. Mayonaise found out there weren't enough TIF dollars to dole out. Wonder if this is true?

    Howcome New Albany Police officers issue tickets on two 8 1/2 by 11 sheets of paper and they aren't carbons, etc.? Never mind, I don't even want to know.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Can't get to NAC blog without participating in a survey. Hah, blogger struck and you can't skip it even though it says you can. But, there is a way around it. You have to backdoor Twitter and hit the article. Informational purposes only.

  79. Non-enforcement of parking regulation for RIVER CITY WINERY!

    They continue to park their oversized truck on the city streets and leave them parked in the same spots for days on end.

    When city police officers won't even obey city ordinances how can we believe things will get any better. Come on Todd, cant you get your officers to obey city ordinances and enforce ordinances against your officers who won't obey them?

    ReplyDelete
  80. Amen, 6:06 AM.

    They're way too slack on enforcing anything around here...for the right people. Surely you've caught onto that???

    ReplyDelete
  81. Wonder why Coffey is all over the front page? He was against the Windstream projected and told other council members he was a 'NO' vote.

    ReplyDelete
  82. You are absolutely right 6:06 am. We have bigger issues to deal with than fluffinstuff.

    ReplyDelete
  83. England wants a $400,000 farmers market, a $12 million dollar parking garage and he expects us to pay for it.

    I need my car repaired for all the friggin pot holes but he wants to pave the allay's.

    Go figure?

    Wonder how many kick packs that will get him?

    ReplyDelete
  84. Code Enforcement in New Albany is a big joke. We pay a City Attorney, a
    Building Commissioner, Code Enforcement Employees and provide them with cars, and cell phones.

    We get no help at all. New Albany continues to be one BIG MESS with
    trash, junk cars and dilapidated and unsafe houses.

    ReplyDelete
  85. It often appears that it is all about providing a salary to certain people and not about actually making a difference for the citizens who pay for those salaries.

    ReplyDelete
  86. You said it, 5:15 PM. This is exactly what the problem is around here. It's all about supporting the people who want more money all the time while not wanting to do the job their supposedly paid to do. That city attorney is the worst of the bunch. We're counting on him to have expertise, and what does he give us? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

    What a joke.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Did you forget 6:11 our city attorney also cost the taxpayers $425,000.00 on the Georgetown Sewer deal. I often wonder what kind of kick back they got on that deal too.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I wonder what bar downtown they're at tonight?

    ReplyDelete
  89. Everything is playing out as "they" have planned. Messer can't/doesn't get his 200 signatures needed, keeps his job (rather than retiring like he was suppose to) and England decides to run on the Independent ticket.

    THEY have to, HAVE TO, keep this farce going - too many worried about their jobs. I say screw their jobs.

    I'm sure there may be some who get the job done, but they are few and far between.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Anything to pull the vote from Gahan. "They" cannot afford, literally, for Gahan to become Mayor. GO GAHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  94. I'm on board for Jeff GahanJune 21, 2011 at 8:11 AM

    My thoughts on Doug England.

    The mayor's policies simply aren't working. And more than that, he won't even tell us the truth about the problems we're facing and what it's really going to take to get New Albany back on the right track.

    He has over spent and mismanaged our tax dollars, but we have now seen where his type of leadership gets us.

    Leadership isn't about fancy speeches and empty promises. It's not about telling only what he wants citizens to know or think. It's about telling the truth.

    England governs with an eye towards the up coming election and whats in it for him. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain.

    In Indianapolis, they call that "smart politic's." But I'm not
    from Indianpolis are you?

    He has NOT balanced the budget and has not cut his spending.

    Our city is broken, our country is going broke, and our financial outlook will make the pain of the recession pale in comparison.

    It's long past time for a New Albany mayor - and anyone who wants to be mayor - to be straight with us citizens of the City of New Albany.

    And the cuts we must make cannot be in other people's favorite (cough)and I am talking about the NAPD & NAFD after we get rid of Gibson and Malysz.

    Anyone running who can't tell hard truths now won't be able to lead our city now or in the future.

    We know know that Doug England's promise of "change"(cough)was just hopeless lies and hype.

    Together, with Jeff Gahan we will change our city, and this time, it really will be for the better.

    ReplyDelete
  119. County prosecutor won't take the matter up - too political. Citizens and Council members (ones who care) have been blocked everytime trying to get answers to the money.

    I still don't understand why we need a Council what with all of this going on behind their backs.

    “There’s bookkeeping procedures that probably need to be adhered to better,” he said, as he added the controller’s office is short staffed and needs better technology.

    If there is no money missing, where is it and why wasn't it all in the records? Perhaps something other than just better technology is needed.

  130. In 2005 the council was prepared to vote for new software and Mrs. Garry said NO they didn't need it. So she's nothing but a big fat liar. She knows what she's doing she needs to go to jail with all the rest of them.

  131. It was all "software problems" in 2001 too. That's always their excuse. Sooner or later you stop believing their lies and raise ten kinds of hell and make these people do their jobs. This is obscene talking about that kind of money (our money) and no checks and balances in order to find out how much money is in the 20 bank accounts and how desperate they are to make payroll to move that kind of money out of TIF.

    EDIT is still owed from the parking garage, 500,000 missing for police cars, the sewer utility. What a sick kind of joke.

  132. Why has the Controller contracted with an Attorney to keep the books?

  134. As for record-keeping glitches, Garry said one employee in the controller’s office has been assigned to removing errors from the city’s financial computer log for the past 18 months.

    why didnt Garry say, I have contracted for the past 18 months with my daughter who is also my lawyer to remove my errors?

  135. Anybody who doesn't question Kay Garry's bookkeeping capabilities is a naive Pollyanna. We ought to be storming down the Prosecutor's office door in our quest to get these issues resolved. What needs to happen is a house cleaning. Get rid of these people in the inner circle, who do Mattingly's (and now Malysz's) bidding and take this mayor and put him in jail for the rest of his life.

    Think it'll ever happen? Not on your life! We're too busy forming coalitions to oppose bridge tolls and whining about saving buildings.

    Getting rid of these people would save us a lot more money that we'd spend on stupid bridge tolls and saving buildings, people. Getting these crooks in jail would make New Albany MUCH more attractive to upscale home buyers and more sophisticated residents.

    People get so mired in MUCK that no progress will EVER happen here. Sickening.

  141. Garry vouched for the incorruptibility of the city’s finances.

    “There’s never been a penny missing since I’ve been in here,” she said.

  146. and on what page does it say money was stolen?

    i read it. didn't see anywhere that money was stolen.

    tell me where it says that!

  147. The prosecutor told me he's tired of you coming to him every time you want one of your political enemies to get in trouble. That's not how the courts work. Not unless you're in Russia, that is.

  148. Someone on here is mighty hyper.

  149. BUT this is Russia. Just read some of Baylor's posting. He was apointed blog czar by England himself.
