It is the duty of a board, department heads or public officials to provide the day-to-day services that our city needs while limiting the already excessive burden that the taxpayers in New Albany have to carry.

First of all little timmy, you told the council and us taxpayers you would work for FREE! And we have it all on tape...Would you like to view our tape?
But on January 8th, 2007 you said and we quote:Tim Deatrick hopes, he and his colleagues Goodman and Sam Asberry will no longer have to work pro bono! DOESN'T THAT MEAN FREE?
Source: New Albany Tribune
You also state in the same article that the revenue and expenses we're projecting for 2007 will allow board compensation with no problem."
Source: New Albany Tribune
Houston we have a problem...
Does that mean you really want to be "paid" now? Does two wrongs make a right?
January 11, 2007 you state the board can confidently say that with the guidance of our treasurer and city controller Kay Garry, we are on solid financial ground and will continue to manage your stormwater fees wisely.
Source: New Albany Tribune
On April 13, 2007 Kay Garry your Treasurer stated: There are 2 ordinances (G-0509 & G-0620) regarding Storm Water/Drainage that are contrary to each other. The ordinance will have to be "amended by the City Council" (which has not been done yet) to be a Utility or a City Fund. Your treasurer states and we quote: Mrs. Garry prefers a City Fund not a Utility!
Source: April 13, 2007 Stormwater Board minutes which is a legal document.
Freedom of Speech would like to ask why our fees are paying for the following positions Tina Haley, Maintance Supervisor Tom Cannon, FMSM Steve Mayes, Legal Council Mike Summers, Storm Water Billing Kelly Welch, EMC Brian Dixon, Jerry Taylor, and god only knows who else!

And you Sir, little Timmy have awarded contracts without consulting the council, and then ask the council to appropriate more money to the storm water board. Our money should be used to fix our problems, not to hire more consulting firms.
How about cleaning storm drains, ditches, and creeks instead of playing "Boss Deatrick" New Albany's homegrown wannabe!!
So are you bought and paid for "little docker" boy?
Your budget of $1,409,507.68 is an insult to New Albany taxpayers, some taxpayer's are over billed, under billed, and not billed at all. How can you spend taxpayers monies when you have been operating for about a year without a budget or the council approval on any type of appropriation?
Maybe you need to check with your sister, who is an attorney to see if you are now liable to us the taxpayers?
That might be very interesting!
