WHAT'S GOING ON?

WHAT'S UP WITH THE FEDS BEING IN TOWN?  THE HOT SPOT IS ON 111.  DO YOU KNOW OF A PROPERTY WHERE FIRST THE BARN BURNED (DECLARED ARSON) AND THEN THE HOUSE BURNED (DECLARED ARSON)?  TOXIC WASTE/MATERIALS? 

ENGLAND AND QUACKENBUSH.  CAN'T SEE IT, BUT WE SURE ARE HEARING ABOUT IT.  BUSH AND SEABROOK KNEW ABOUT THE GOINGS ON?  ARE THEY GOING TO HUSH IT UP UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION? 

WE ARE WAITING FOR THE REBUTTAL LETTER TO THE BUTT'S LETTER (R SMITH) - WHAT A JOKE.  MESSER NEEDS TO GET BACK JACK AND SMITH - WELL, WE WON'T GO THERE.

CARRY ON.

WHAT'S UP?

We watched the news the other night and the follow up about New Albany's Parking tickets and Mr. Beardsley.  The news flash we heard concerned how the third biggest accumulator of parking tickets was in a "trust" name and the Police couldn't track the owner of the vehicle.  Hmmmm.  What is wrong with this picture?  May we have a license plate the Police can't trace or identify?

We heard through our Council rep Council approved tax abatements for CHODO.  Are you kidding us?  My family will be signing up Tuesday morning.

WHAT'S THIS? YOU'RE KIDDING, RIGHT?

Is it true?  We are giving Shane Gibson $50,000 to fight Pasttimes?  Is this another "DVD" debacle?  Sure it is.  Wait and see.

Who do you think will win your Council race?  Are we going to have an all Republican Council?  Does it even matter?  Nah, I don't think so - what do you think?

SHORTFALL?

Shortfall?  How about overspending, malfeasance of office, etc.?   Why can't the City of New Albany live within their Budget?

$30,000.00 needed Monday night for Police overtime?  What, did Harvest Homecoming happen and we missed it?

Why would you hire firefighters when you weren't budgeted to do so and Council did not give their approval?  Or, did Council give their approval when they voted for the annexation?  Is England still maintaining he doesn't have to pay the money to the County for the new fire station on Charlestown Road?

Okay.  We are aware the Horseshoe Foundation paid for backpacks for kids for school last year.  Since when, though, does it become the City's responsibility to shell out $30,000.00 for the Churches to buy backpacks this year?  My kid didn't get a backpack last year - what's up with this?  Isn't there a separation between Church and State? 

Is Mayor England afraid if Gahan wins there will be an audit?  Does he think he can stop an Audit if he  gets on the Council?  We are afraid so.

Shortfall?  Yeah, right.  It seems to us we just keep digging that hole deeper.

WHEN IS THE TIME RIGHT?

The grief our family is feeling and talking about around our kitchen table is overwhelming.


As parents, our first worry is about our 401Ks and the possibility of the federal government defaulting on debt payments.  All analysts are predicting this stand off within the federal government will wipe people's 401Ks out.  Period.   How and where and when can we, the people, practice civil disobedience and have massive protests?  Is it warranted?


We all are still talking about the Audit and RiverView.  We know both issues are a giant pile of crap we need to remedy and stop talking about.   How and where and when can we, the people, practice civil disobedience and have a protest?  Is it warranted?


All family members are talking about the mess with the bridges and how much the cost is going to be to our family and friends.  One daughter works in Louisville for minimum wage and lives in the Knobs.  One son is attending Sullivan University and runs back and forth between there and here 3 or 4 times a day.  My husband works for Ford.  Downtown New Albany's restaurants are pulling Louisville customers.  We don't see them coming to my friend's new place with a toll.  I probably won't go over there and eat unless it's something we really enjoy, i.e., Winston's and Jack Fry's (New Albany hasn't moved that far up the ladder yet).  The powers to be will not perform or release the study which will show the harm and disproportionate monies this will cost all of southern Indiana.  How and where and when can we, the people, practice civil disobedience and have a protest?  Is it warranted?


P.S.  How do the elderly and disabled and the disadvantaged get help for this heat?  We know some who could use fans and water.
