Mr. Baylor how about telling the truth for once in your life!
These are the real facts:
1. The City of New Albany is legally bound to operate under the laws set up by Indiana Code.
2. NA Confidental article says that they want to have a citizens committee to study the city's precincts and propose a way to shuffle them and produce six reasonably equal districts.
Mr Baylor these are the Laws & facts:
The State of Indiana says in Indiana code:
IC 36-4-6-3
SEC. 3 (a) This section applies to Second Class Cities.
(b) The Legislative body shall adopt an Ordinance to divide the City into six (6) Districts.
Perhaps Mr. Baylor...Their Attorney should read the Indiana Code. It does not mention their Citizens Committee.
3. Fact: November 4, 2002 Councilman Schmidt, Councilman Kochert and Councilman Dan Coffey voted FOR G-02-14 Redistricting of New Albany Voting Districts.
4. Fact: November 21, 2002 Council Minutes
Quote: Councilman Goldberg withdrew the bill from the table."
5. Fact: November 4, 2002 Council Minutes: Councilman James Garner voted "NO" on Redistricting.
6. Your written comment: Speaking of laws, CM Schmidt's name, employment status and length of tenture unsurprisingly do not appear carved in the stone of state legal passages relevant to this topic reported. But your personal attacks against Councilman Schmidt is carved in stone on NAC.
Facts:
* Councilman Schmidt did not set up the boundaries for his 2nd District to be so big.
Facts:
* Councilman Schmidt has been saying for years that his district is about 1/2 the town and no one has listen. (Mr. Baylor if you had attended Council Meetings in 2002 you would be aware of all this information)
* The main point Mr. Baylor you can not stand and deal with: The fact is that the voters in Councilman Schmidts district went to the polls and elected him their Councilman. He was elected by the "VOTERS."
* You are jealous and mad that Councilman Schmidt beat out your buddy John Gonder.
* And all the other so called progessives got beat.
Get over it Roger & Randy!
The only outcome from this so called "Lawsuit" could have been handled by the City Council. Your so called buddy "the mayor" could have had one of his cronies introduce the Ord. to Redistrict.
So I ask you Mr. Baylor is it really going to be a real victory for you progressives?
Didn't the primary tell you folks something Roger & Randy?
Note to: Randy Smith
Mr. Smith I personally would like to see it legal for your name to be on the ballot on each of the 6th Districts for you to run for Councilman. Because no matter what district from 1-6 "You still can't WIN!"
These are the facts!
