Don't you just love it when you pick up your daily Tribune and the article says...New Albany council asked to appropriate $1 million - New Albany seeks to simplify spending.
"Sounds like a scam to us" - what do you think?
Sure sounds like the past when England was in office before. Doesn't this mayor ever have enough of our money?
He has the same controller Kay Garry and the rest of his buddies around him. It was interesting when going over one of his green bars we came across a very interesting name.
Freedom Of Speech would really like to know why John Mattingly was cut a check for $2,900.00?
When you think things can't get much worse you read about more appropriations brought to our council.
First of all who brings a resolution before our Council this coming Thursday for a million dollars without even giving a good reason why they should appropriate this million dollars.
Hey, President Jeff, don't you need to question this one?
"Deputy Mayor Carl Malysz and Controller Kay Garry stated: that the administration is asking for the money to be appropriated now so officials can act quickly if funding is needed, not that they have any specific projects in mind."
They just can't wait to get their grubby hands on the $1 million. Who do they think they are kidding?
They have NO APPROVED 2008 Budget.
They have only one interest and that is to bankrupt our city.
Yes, we said it...you are spending our taxpayer dollars on raises and new cars. You are letting auxiliary people fill up their cars with gas at the station, compliments of New Albany taxpayers.
England has our Street Department Staff alternate days off when there is a neighborhood clean up. That is why they don't have time to pick trash items up or time to fill potholes because they are too busy with neighborhood associations.
Our garbage contracted company has "breached their contract" by not picking up what the contract agreement states. Now we know why the street department is complaining about not enough time and men to get the job done.
This administration has violated so many laws and our so called council is not even smart enough to realize they are going to be the ones blamed for England's mess.
You, Mr. England can always say: well the council approved it...right?
Then, we read Ron Carroll your "legal advisor" might hold off on saving us $1.5 million on the land for a new sewer plant.
Is this the same land John Mattingly owns on Hwy. 111?
What does simplify mean?
Webster definition of simplify is: a. to reduce to basic essentials b. to diminish in scope or complexity.
Surely Mr. Kaukas this was a misprint.
And BTW is Mr. Ron Carroll still working for free?
Isn't he the man who is the current President of the Board for Hughes Group?
Our next concern is this resolution way of doing taxpayer's business.
Do you taxpayers realize how many Resolutions England has rushed through since taking office?
Our question is what's the rush Doug?
Don't you think with Malysz having 30 minute work sessions they can truly understand what the hell you're all trying to pull?
After attending the last work session on TIFS and seeing Malysz spoon feed our council WE collected a nice cold case of Coors on a bet saying "this guy Malysz can talk for hours" and not say a damn thing!
Thanks Carl...
Then we have good OLE Messer being quoted as saying:
His concern is the "Police Department and Street Department."
Isn't this a "Conflict of Interest" Councilman Messer?
Freedom Of Speech feels you should abstain from voting on Police issues.
Again, we have selective enforcement, selective billing, and selective property taxes, in fact everything in this town is selective!
As we say:
" Same SHIT Just a DIFFERENT Year"
NEWS FLASH:
11:19 pm: Courier Journal on line Reports: England pulls his request for Ordinance for $1 million in Riverboat money. Sewer Board delays their decision to recommend "Sewer rate increase to Council."
"Smart move Doug..."
