Freedom of Speech would like to say:

First of all, Mayor England is going to make Rod Blagojevich look like a rank amateur.

Some of these ideas are just a waste of money.

Why the hell does the city need all that money for downtown?

This is typical England. The arrogance of this man is appalling, and an embarrassment to the citizens of New Albany.

We the people, need money. and not the city!

Why not help out the middle class, poor or senior citizens in some type of way. Or try to create more jobs in New Albany so that you can raise your OWN tax money Mayor England.

This list looks and smells of:

"I will scratch your back, if you can scratch my back!"

We think it's called politics as usual in New Albany.

BTW, you know where the feds got their money? Look in your back pocket or your check book for the answer!
