Freedom Of Speech would like to say:

The problem with New Albany in the eyes of most taxpayers is that this is not a priority. Why would we want to put this debt on our children and grandchildren?

"Just to line someone else's pockets!"

Hasn't anyone ever taught these idiots the different between a WANT and a NEED?

Good Grief!
