MAYOR ENGLAND AND DEPUTY MAYOR MALYSZ "CAN NOT" BLAME GARNER AND OVERTON...

Freedom Of Speech tried to tell you on August 2, 2009 that the City General Fund spending was over budget.

Freedom Of Speech would like to say:

First things first. Congratulations Mayor England. You are the first Mayor in the history of our GREAT City of New Albany, to have put our entire General Fund in the RED!

Secondly, on February 2, 2009 Mayor Douglas B. England said and we quote: "Despite the fiscal turbulence of 2008, the City's operating budgets for 2008 ended the year in the black."


"What were you smoking Mayor England, when you lied to us taxpayers?"

Now you and Maylsz want to play the BLAME game...

Good Grief!

You call this leadership Mayor England?
