Jimmy...are you still reading the EMC contract?
"When we set this up, one of the things we told the board was, 'Before you enter into any major contracts or major expenditures, bring it before the council.' and they were agreeable to it at the time," Coffey said.
Well I guess the council has learned a big lesson over this deal....uh?
Of course "Little Timmy" Deatrick has to weigh in on this subject and we quote: "It seems to me that if Mr. Coffey wants to disband the board, he wants to revert to a political way of operating...This move is purely political."

We have a sneaky feeling "little timmy" there is more going on here than what your saying?
We suggest you read Freedom of Speech this coming sunday.
Meanwhile, the Association of Federal, State, County and Municipal employees filed an injunction on Friday to stop the EMC contract from taking effect, "I think they've completely exceeded their authority," Thompson said of the Stormwater Board.

So you know:
The council formed two new commitees last saturday morning.
* Members of a committee to amend the law governing the Stormwater Board Councilman Steve Price (chairman) Donnie Blevins, Beverly Crump and Kevin Zurschmiede.
* Members of a committee to investigate general bidding practices: Councilman Jeff Gahan (chairman), Dan Coffey, and Bill Schmidt.

Restraining order has postponed the privatization of New Albany's stormwater drainage department, which would have been turned over to contractor Environmental Management Corp, today.

Freedom of Speech would like to ask Mr. Brian Dixon and we quote: "We'll just continue to do what we've been doing so far. We have a contract in place to manage the program.

But Mr. Dixon is what your doing not "contempt" of Court?
Freedom of Speech wonders if "know it all Zurschmiede" has even taken the time to research the laws yet?
Guess we will have to watch and see how this plays out. We think were going to put our money on our council.
How about you readers?
We at Freedom of Speech are going to rely on our council to make the right decisions to get us out of this mess.
There's alot at stake here...let's win this one for the taxpayers!

then they laugh at you,
