Can the City outsource our ambulance without getting bids? How can that be?
Maybe the same way the trees were taken down at the postage stamp size park designated to be the "Bicentennial Park"? No questions asked, no rules followed, just deforestation. We would have remembered the outcry when St. Mary's took their trees down to put the steeple up. This is even worse.
Though, we have to say - we always thought the City owned that postage stamp before we bought it (again). The only people who could park there had to go through the City. Harvest Homecoming always used it for a stage area. Who knows?
We would also like to know why the City went outside the State of Indiana for a history book of our fair City when we have our own historian in town (who has already wrote several books about the subject), namely Gregg Seidl. What does the guy down in Tennessee know that Gregg doesn't know?
We agree with Coffey - NO INSURANCE for Benedetti, Zurschmeide and Caesar. WHAT A FRIGGING JOKE. The ones who have the most always seem to want more, and more, and more...
The concert Friday night in New Albany was/is another joke. Literally about 30 people attended and for what and for whom? We are truly (not) sorry a certain individual bar/restaurant is not large enough for his own venues. Some taxpayers wish to sue in order to stop our money being used for one, ONE, individual benefit.
Oh, well. A wish list sure to be denied.
Coffey loves drama and stirring the pot. Just keep making us go backwards. The vote on insurance is nothing but political. That's why I can't stand him. He is a disgrace to our city!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy isn't Coffee insisting on no insurance for the contracted city attorneys also
ReplyDeleteI attended the so called big hoopla at San's place Sunday just to see who would show up. It was a 'BUST'. Gahan must know he's a 1 termer.
ReplyDeleteHey Coffey, do you honestly think the dems will back you when you get arrested?
Why didn't the businesses bitch after loosing all them parking spots?
ReplyDeleteI am counting days until Dan Coffey is taken off the council.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea where this blogger got his info but the live at 5 last friday i attended had 76 people on bank street. And the Bank street brewery was packed with no seats avalible. And it was on bank street because roger was the only one who didn't complain about parking for thier business. You atract more bees with honey than you do vinegar. I guess roger didn't complain like the other restaraunt owners did. Sorry for thier luck
ReplyDeleteThe city did take bids for the ambulance service. Rural Metro had the best deal. Do your homework.
ReplyDeleteShow us the bids for us taxpayers
ReplyDeleteIf that insurance deal is right at 20,000.00 a person the whole city needs to be looked at. Gahan if you negotiated those prices just go on and step down .
ReplyDeleteYou need to ask to see the bids down on the 3rd floor of the city-county building. Rural Metro and Yellow are 2 for sure.
ReplyDeleteCut insurance and plant more trees! Oh wait...
ReplyDeleteSomething must be going wrong at live at 5 . They get real defensive about justifying . It did not work out as well as to expected. Use our riverfront a lot more people came there to enjoy. Remember Rogers got that camera going on around his bank street on people having a drink.
ReplyDeleteTake Gahan to the ethics commission.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter anymore live at 5 is done till next year. So we can talk about something else now.
ReplyDeleteYep. Go ahead and trash something else. I
ReplyDeleteVoter Fraud is a crime.
ReplyDeletewhen the floyd county dems come down the parade route saturday everybody ought to flash a sign that says how many of you crooks havent been busted yet?
ReplyDeleteYou may want to work on punctuation before you "flash that sign!"
ReplyDeleteoh it's the punctuation cop roger "leotard" baylor.
ReplyDeletefork you baylor go play with your kiddie friends at freak fest
Attended the council meeting packed house, Gahan got his 85,000.00 for the bicentennial. I want all tax payers to know because I am upset the way Gahan is spending our tax dollars . That's pretty bad our council members cannot get insurance and he spends 1,2 million on a park and tax my parking away from my business. It's tough the people that come in here complain all the time.
ReplyDeleteGahan in the council,business all the time it came out last night. Benedetti asked publicly who drafted all the things on the council agenda. Like weasels Robinson and Gibson say well I did.. So mayor when I asked you, you lied. You new exactly the political games that you were about to play.
ReplyDeleteI know who you are.
ReplyDelete7:35 Why would they show you anything that would save the city money ? You want to see the bids for the ambulance service. It's very simple. There were 2 services that went after the city contract. And they are not going to cost the city a penny to operate. So showing it to the taxpayers holds no merit. Do you understand ?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have any info on how the 1st day with rural metro as our ambulance service went ?
ReplyDeleteI heard the first day with Rural Metro went great, a little busy but nothing new. It's about time the city contracted with someone, running EMS with 1 ambulance for a city of 30,000 plus is a disgrace for taxpayers.
ReplyDeleteI think I sense some envy in the comments regarding this man in a leotard. Have you, perhaps, seen something that may dwarf the size of yours?
ReplyDelete10:14 1 ambulance ????? That's how many the fire department had. You seem to forget Yellow Ambulance had multiple vehicles parked all around new albany to help out.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of people are mooching off the public teat in this city. At least the Copperhead questions it. Truth to be told, they ought to pay US all $85,000 for cutting down those beautiful trees for no reason.
ReplyDeleteYou could not count on Yellow EMS. From my understanding from a friend of my friend they had a regular habit of providing longer response times than what a city of this size should expect.
ReplyDeleteLeave it alone about the whole ambulance thing, the only way to do it right would be to hire firefighters and give it back to the fire department but no one wants to pay for it. It's like you all want to pay a car payment on a Kia but drive a Lexus.
ReplyDeleteYep I agree 12:59. These people want everything for nothing. And 12:51 I heard from a friend of my friend that there were 2 runs yesterday that took over 25 minutes for an ambulance to arrive. She didn't get into details and i don't know if it's true or not being 3rd hand info. Would be nice to find out if it's true.
ReplyDeletehey benedetti dont get drunk and fall off the dumbocrooks float saturday
ReplyDeleteBenedetti rocks, what a great job she did last night. Thank you for your leadership.
ReplyDeleteCoffey free hey Rog it's only a matter of time!!
ReplyDeletefork you thrasher!
ReplyDeleteAll the blame needs to lie right on Gahan for this park and events. Gahan operates no different than England. England is a thug and so is Gahan. Taxpayers want to throw you out!!!
ReplyDeleteCan someone ask john Gonder where that ethics commission is at? Us third floor people are not aloud to talk to any council people.
ReplyDeleteYour right it was asked in the meeting 85,0000 came right from Gahan.
ReplyDeleteGahan your not shopping at Koerber's with Stan Robinson are you?
Robinson I hope your still not committing adultery!
It's OK 4:08. Gahan knows he's through. I heard him say he's finished with being mayor after this term because the people won't vote him back in. He knows. Wow. Smart.
ReplyDeleteI agree he is through,
ReplyDeleteyours truly suzie
Yeah. All four of you know everything.
ReplyDeleteYeah Gonder. Where is this almighty Ethic's commission. Since you are complaining that the City didn't follow it's own Tree ordinance and you are on the city's tree board. That can be your 1st case for the ethic's commission. What about the bushes they tore out. Is there a bush board also. Shouldn't trees and bushes have the same right's. What attorney will be representing the tree's if this goes to court? Inquireing minds want to know.
ReplyDeleteGonder is getting high listening to "The Trees" by Rush.
ReplyDeleteBush board...yeah, um...never mind.
ReplyDeleteNO ONE WANTS A FIRE STATION IN THEIR BACK YARD. LET US PUT THE FIRE STATION IN MALYSZ AND GAHAN'S BACK YARD.
ReplyDeleteCAN THIS TOWN GET ANY CRAZIER ? ?
Gonder is a gutless wonder, talks a big game but always lets the Mayor have his way as long as its a democrat.
ReplyDeletegrow a set Gonder or disband the ethics commission, youre a joke
I didn't realize they were going to put a fire station in someone's back yard. I thought the proposal was to have it built on the camille wright property for free by Kroger. It doesn't get any better than that. Having a firehouse built for free and not costing the taxpayers a penny. You people need to stop complaining and look how much money the city is going to save.
ReplyDeleteJust in case you are new to New Albany 3 out of the 5 current fire houses are on "someones backyard". I know they should move them all out to the industrial park, Get over it.
ReplyDeleteThere is a big difference between having a park in your back yard and a firehouse. The people were there first! They didnt buy their property hoping that in 2012 the city would turn the park into a firehouse. Nothing requires the firehouse to be built at that exact location. Why not look at other alternatives if they are going to move it?
ReplyDeletehey floyd dumbocrooks what are you giving away at your HH booth this year absentee ballots for illegal aliens and dead people?
ReplyDelete4 1/2 acres. The firehouse will take a small portion of that area. VGet over it you cant stop it.
ReplyDeleteHey Jeffy boy is your ethics commission going to cover up the complaint against your backstabber E.D. suckass Duggins?
ReplyDeleteDO IT--SEABROOK LIVES IN GAHAN'S BACK YARD!!!
ReplyDeleteethics commission needs to investigate the meatball and mama meatball, where's the beef? I mean money?
ReplyDeleteHi Randy.
ReplyDeleteRandy Smith is obsessed. It is too weird.
ReplyDeleteThe event's the ethic's commission with hear if ever about will be old news by the time it goes in front of them. Government moves at a snails pace when they have to deal with stuff they don't want to. But something they are wanting to get thru in a hurry. Look out. They will move the universe to get it done. And crush anyone who gets in thier way.
ReplyDeletewe are all scared of bipolar gahan its getting harder to work here.
ReplyDeletea third floor employee
Too bad he expects people to actually work!
ReplyDeleteWork , give me a break. You mean muttle there wy through it.
ReplyDelete12:31. The Indians were here long before us and look what happened to them. That statement " these people were here first " doesn't hold any merit. The city can build any structure as long as it's passed by the zoning commission and the construction is passed by the buildiing inspector. The city council will not be involved in this because there is no money involved by the city. It is all in the mayor's hands. It's gonna happen. Just sit and watch.
ReplyDelete5:52 of course it is going to happen! The city adminsitration has no concerns for the citizens. Why is a non-locally owned business like Krogers more important than the citizens of this community? Krogers is not going to leave if they dont get the land! Please dont tell me it will bring jobs. Is five more low paying jobs for cashiers and baggers really worth it?
ReplyDeletebuy local drink your beer at Hugh Birs and boycott the commie Roger baylor
ReplyDeleteI think the city has concerns for is citizens but the citizens have to give and take. It's to the point now that any time a project comes up to help the tax base and econimic growth in this city everyone cries wolf and want's it somewhere other than close to them. Good lord a pool was in that area before. All the hazards along with that. Chemicals, unsanitary water conditions and 100 yelling screaming kids to listen to all day. The only time you would hear the sounds from a fire truck would be when it was getting ready to go out on daisy lane. Consider a park. Dogs crapping in the grass. who knows what illegal activity would go on in there after hours. trash all over the place. People who use parks tend to leave messes for someone else to clean up. Just go walk around the lake at community park. The same trash has been out there for years and is still there. And don't think a park wouldn't be noisy. I can see it now. The police will be out there every night running people off.
ReplyDeleteI have a fire house in my backyard. You get to the point where you no longer hear the sirens and my home insurance is lower because of it.
ReplyDelete8:54 which was there first, you or the firehouse? Did the sirens make you go deaf and that is why you no longer here the sirens? Your insurance is no lower from the firehouse being in your backyard than those that are within a couple miles of you.
ReplyDeleteis paul etheridge riding on the dumbocrooks HH float today?
ReplyDeleteGet Dave Duggins out of New Albany. Cutting deals with Roger or getting him involved over a firing of Mike Ladd. It is unethical and not business minded. Dave is a Clark county boy, lets keep him there.
ReplyDeleteDave hangs at wicks or Rogers place, hope he does not get picked up for another DUI.
ReplyDeleteCan someone answer what does Maryann the controller do. I attend council meetings and she is never there. The legislative body handles the money but they never see a controller. New Albany will never change in its practices. Gahan said change he is full of bull.
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for the Audit report anybody know where that is. Also heard something is coming out. Does anyone know?
ReplyDeleteRumor has it that Shane Gibson again made 240,000.00.
ReplyDeleteDo you think he should make more than the prosecutor or a judge. There responsibilities are way more than he will ever see.
Nicole Yates calls herself political agent on her tweets. Se wishes she was a political agent. Hey Nicole put your name on a sign and see if you can get elected as a political agent!
ReplyDeletemaryann the meatball eats a lot of city pasta on the taxpayers dime
ReplyDeleteI heard Ethridge was driving the mayors convertible today. One crook to another.
ReplyDeleteFriday run by the new ambulance was 35 minutes late. Shame on you Mr. Gahan. Counting the days until your out of office.
ReplyDeleteGo Democrats
ReplyDeleteyou mean dumbocrooks
ReplyDeleteThirty -five minutes is a big improvement....would have been two hours before the change.
ReplyDeleteOur ambulance in new Albany never took two hours. I have used it for my mother several times. Your lies ...
ReplyDeleteArt Niemier sold is self to the devil. Found out him and his dad did everything they could for Gahan. Sold your own party out. Parade info well worth attending.
ReplyDeleteGahan were watching you!
ReplyDeletewho was that bipolar clown riding in the mayor's car yesterday? It was none other than jeffy boy and the arrogant 1st bitch of new albany.
ReplyDeletehappy harvest homecoming
we're not were---Idiots.
ReplyDeletemore correct would be we're not were, idiots. Now who's the idiot?
