Will our City Council members allow Mayor Garner to bankrupt our City? Or will our Council members take the prudent action and support the taxpayers? Will certain Council members have their city jobs threatened if they do not vote the way the Mayor wants?
Will our Council members keep their campaign Promises they made, unlike Mayor Garner? Will Councilman Kochert and Councilman Seabrook be pressured by the Mayor, knowing possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars have been borrowed from the Sewer Utility and not paid back?
Will the Council give in and be pressured to vote yes on the first reading? So Mr. Fifer can go before the state revolving loan board and tell them that this was a good faith vote?
Why does it seem the only solution is to borrow money? Why can't this administration come up with better answers than keep going into debt? Our problems need to be fixed. Where is the ACCOUNTABILITY? This has been going on long enough and needs to be fixed NOW!
Candidate Garner promised to put an end to "politics as usual". Did he again forget his promise? But then he has not kept his other promises either, so why should we think he will keep any now? Jimmy refuses to COMPROMISE, he refuses to tell the taxpayers the TRUTH. Everything is a "do or die" situation. Why are we paying advisors if they don't give us options.
As a matter of fact, what good has Jimmy brought to the table.
What does he have to hide? And what does he have to gain?
The taxpayers are being raped by this administration. Don't the Council members have the guts or courage to stand up to "Jimmy" and say NO, we are not going to be bullied any more? We are going to find a solution without further burdening the taxpayers.
What part of the word "broke" does Mayor Garner not understand? All he can think of is spend and borrow, spend and borrow. And never worry about paying it back. Maybe he wants to leave that little problem to his successor.
Will Councilman Seabrook be willing to sacrifice his bid for the Commissioners' spot?
Will Councilman Messer continue to have a spend money to make money attitude?
Will President Gahan show his true colors to the Mayor, being the coward that he is?
Will Councilman Blevins even show up during a time of crisis vote?
We know how Council member Crump will support whatever the Mayor wants, this is shown in her voting record.
Why should the taxpayers of New Albany continue to pay for the mistakes of this Administration? We are tired of the 11th hour demands for action by the Mayor. He knows these situations do exist but waits until the very last minute to strong arm our Council Members. His decisions champion his own agenda. Why should we expect him to do the right thing now?
The taxpayers of New Albany deserve facts and not excuses. We deserve the truth and no more lies. We want solutions to our Sewer Utility problems NOW!
Again Jimmy & Fifer have taken away our options.
We are sick and tired of being told "It's only a few more dollars a month". The real issue is that we have already spent 44 million dollars and the Sewer Utility is still not fixed.
All we get from this Administration is promises made and promises broken.
The participants of Freedom of Speech feel that Mayor James Garner is not COMPETENT to run our City and handle our finances, nor look out for the best interest of the taxpayers, and he should RESIGN!
