What got our attention here at Freedom Of Speech was the recent Tribune article dated December 01, 2006. The comments made by former Councilman Kenny Keilman's and we quote: "I just decided, when this opened up again, I've got the experience" to fill the seat, said Keilman, who served four four-year council terms.
As the council's lone Republican, Seabrook's replacement will have to also take his role on the Sewer Board, for which Keilman said he'd be qualified after seeing years of sewer problems near his Green Valley Road home. "I'm well aware of the sewer problems we've had in New Albany for the last 30 years, Keilman said. "Hopefully, we've got that pretty well taken care of."
Freedom Of Speech would like to say to former Councilman Keilman. Where have you been for the last 15 years? You Sir, were part of the problem in the past along with former Councilman Bliss.
We have had nothing but 30 years of good ole boy - screw the taxpayers, and not fix our sewers. We as taxpayers are fed up! You like many of us who have been affected with sewer problems. Today the problems continue to exist. To make a stupid comment like "Hopefully, we've got that pretty well taken care of." Again we say where have you been Mr. Keilman? Do you and your neighbors have your sewer fixed yet?
And why would any Republican Caucus want to vote for a former Councilman Keilman or Bliss? They were both part of the problem and not the solution to the City of New Albany problems. And while were at it how many council meetings have the list of other candidates attended in the last 3 years?
All of a sudden an opening for Mark Seabrook's position comes open and now all these Republicans have all the answers in solving the City of New Albany's problems.
It's time for new Republican blood on our Council. Someone who can sit on the Sewer Board and demand answers! And hold this Administration accountable for sewer money and fixing our sewer problems.
Who has got the Republican guts and the courage to stand up for all the taxpayers of New Albany?
