Are you a true-blue Democrat or a red-blooded Republican?
This election is about more than Doug England or Randy Hubbard.
It is not about being Republican or a Democrat.
It's about a call for change.
Many voters are still deciding whether England has really changed. Would we be in a worse mess than he left us?
Will the voters be lied to again?
And so my fellow Americans, ask not what
your country can do for you; ask what you
can do for your country.

You are "NOT" John F. Kennedy...Mr. England!
"Is England a wishy-washy- flip-flopper, depending on which group he's speaking with?"
As they say "a leopard never changes his spots."
Did you notice that Doug has no plan how he can pay for:
* revitalization downtown
* two way streets
* city courts
*rental inspection
* moving city offices to a new building
* building a new firehouse
England's "pie in the sky" list goes on and on ~ with no means to pay the bill.
Freedom of Speech would like our City to do more for it's citizens but we just haven't heard England put forth a creditable way to do this without raising fees, and taxes on us citizens.
England said that for the sake of businesses, "they need to be two-way streets."

How do you plan to pay for this Candidate England?
"Why is England only catering to downtown businesses? What about the rest of us in the city?
The "rah rah" downtown crowd doesn't seem to have any problem promoting the England scheme for votes!
Boys...are you all in for a rude awakening!
Ask yourself this voters...why didn't England revitalize downtown during the 8 years he was in office?
On November 6th, the citizens of New Albany will go to the polls throughout the city and vote for and elect a Mayor, 9 Council Members and a City Clerk.
Freedom of Speech believes in responsibility and accountability; it is the responsibility of the Mayor and Council to protect the financial well being of the City of New Albany. Your efforts should be focused on working to improve service and cutting expenditures throughout city government.
Our city needs to become more efficient while at the same time directing internal savings towards more pressing needs like:
* property taxes
* city infrastructure
* street repairs
* pipeline and valves upgrades and mapping
* improve storm drainage
Our next mayor should practice "smart growth" as he seeks opportunities for the community and us citizens.
Fiscal leadership over the last sixteen years, has been a nightmare. Without attention to our City's spending priorities, well, we're on a path that is only going to put more burden on the backs of New Albany taxpayers.
New Albany taxpayers are suffering from increase tax bills because local government is "not controlling" their spending!
Candidate England, we have not heard you say how you would hold down city government spending and help lower our tax bills.
So, voters you decide "if you want 4 more years" of broken promises!
Remember: Vote for the person and not the party!
One of my main concerns is that you, the voter, vote for the candidates you feel is the most qualified rather than vote a straight party ticket. If you are really serious about the election results, and I hope you are, you should understand that voting a straight party ticket is a very bad mistake for both the community and for the two major political parties.
