The revised budget 2009 report has been sent to city officials showing the error correction of:
The corrected 2009 General Fund Budget is: $14,499,572.
September 29, 2009
Quote: "The department (DLGF) reviewed the budget numbers and found that the city had reported a loan from TIF funds in one part of budget documents after a mid-year reporting date. Even though the temporary loan was repaid, the offsetting repayment wasn't reported in city documents sent to the state, said agency spokes woman Amanda Stanley."
They included the obligation and should not have, Stanley said."

"What were you smoking Mayor England, when you lied to us taxpayers?"
Now you and Maylsz want to play the BLAME game...

2009 NEW ALBANY GENERAL FUND HAS BEEN RELEASED BY THE STATE...
General Fund Report for 2009 has been released by the State of Indiana.
The General Fund Budget for 2008 shows:
* Budget - $15,518,888
* TAX LEVY - $10,587,145
* Tax Rate - 0.6968
The newly released 2009 General Fund Report shows:
* Certified Budget for 2009 - $10,449,572
* TAX LEVY - $8,782,573
* Tax Rate - 0.6625
The City of New Albany requested $15,312,948 for the 2009 General Fund Budget. The 2009 General Fund was approved at $10,499,572.
When we do our math, it shows that the city is facing a $4,813,376.00 cut in our General Fund.
Our Council needs to study and do their homework to show the taxpayers where they are going to cut $4,813,376. off the 2009 General Fund.
We compliment Councilman Price who has been repeating that we should not be floating bonds and spending money we don't have!
Who said this was the best Council we ever had?
Well Roger, was that ghetto, white trash, nickel & dime, slumlord right or what?
Great job Jethro!!!!!!!

PELOSI, COSBY, AND CARTER...
We guess the White House strategy of using charges of racism to combat the peoples opposition to it's agenda wasn't working so Pelosi, Cosby and Carter had to switch to a new fictional rant in the hopes that a different strategy might work.
The Democrats use African Americans much like Hamas and Hezbollah use women and children - as human shields!
Whenever they can't argue the merits of their agenda [which is most of the time] they trot out accusations of racism that they can hide behind. Smearing the opposition as being racist is the human shield strategy of the Democrats using African Americans as human shields.
Meanwhile no one accuses Democrats of being racist when all their policies have done so much harm to the people they profess to help.
No one accuses Democrats of being racist when they attack black conservatives like Michael Smith or Supreme Court Justice Thomas.
Have you ever seen signs from liberals like "We are not armed, this time." How many automatic weapons or handguns did liberals ostentatiously bring to their rallies?
Do you see the difference yet?
Pelosi needs to have a medical exam, clearly from statements she makes her thinking process is compromised. Her being third in line for the highest position in the United States is disturbing.
Her latest remarks were made only to incite the liberals and demean the conservatives.
Future generations when looking back upon history will be scratching their heads wondering how someone as unfit as Pelosi held such a high government position.

The Floyd County Council has implemented a six step longevity pay schedule for full-time employees, excluding elected officials. Each step qualifies the employee for longevity pay increments. The amount of longevity step increments shall be determined annually by the County Council.
Floyd County Longevity Pay Schedule:
Step 0.....Less than 1 year .....$-0-
Step 1.....1 year of service......$200
Step 2.....2 years of service....$400
Step 3.....5 years of service....$700
Step 4.....10 years of service..$1,000
Step 5.....15 years of service..$1,200
Step 6.....20 years of service..$1,400
The difference between the County and City employees is this:
City employees get vacation pay, plus non-union raises and the County employees get longevity pay and non-union raises.
City non-union employees vacation pay is:
One (1) through five (5) years - Two Weeks pay
Six (6) through eleven (11) years - Three Weeks pay
Twelve (12) years or more - Four Weeks pay
As reported in the August 31, 2009 Tribune:
Our city Council will be voting on a one-time bonus for non-union employees. Mayor England CLAIMS this marked the third consecutive year their salaries have been frozen. But the council could give them a one-time cost of living stipend based on the amount of experience they have with the city.
If passed, the payment would be:
$1,000 for workers with one to five years of experience, $1,500 for employees with six to 10 years with the city and $2,000 for workers with more than 10 years under their belt.
Is this fair?
Was Councilman Steve Price right to vote NO the first time?
A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-l-Y....!
Out of 9 Council members, Mayor England, Controller Garry and City Council Attorney Robinson the only ONE to do their homework was Councilman Price!
Let us show you what Price is presenting to our Council tonight:
BILL NO. A-07-25 - ORDINANCE NO. A-07-43
AN ORDINANCE SETTING SALARIES FOR THE YEAR 2008, FOR NON-BARGAINING UNIT EMPLOYEES
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF NEW ALBANY, INDIANA, TO WIT:
SECTION 1. That the hourly, bi-weekly or monthly salaries for each and every appointive officer, full-time employee, deputies, assistants, departmental and institutional heads, part-time and hourly employees of the City of New Albany, Indiana, for the year 2008 be and are set in the amounts that follow and be paid 26 times in 2008!
PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY THIS 20 DAY OF September, 2007.
Does this prove Mayor England was misleading the Council in his statement when he said: this is the third consecutive year their salaries have been frozen?
Absolutely!!!!!!!!!
We want to quote City Council minutes of Sept 6, 2007 for the 2008 Budget:
"Mrs. Garry stated, that this was a 3% raise across the board." All voted in favor.
Didn't Mayor England receive his $11,000 raise in January 2008, when he took office?

The difference between the County Council, they approve and stay on their budget, our City administration plays games with our tax dollars and doesn't live within their OWN budget.
That's why the County has $$$ and the City doesn't!

FROM OUR FRIENDS IN WASHINGTON:
Today House Republicans, led by Republican Leader John Boehner hand delivered the following letter to Obama asking him to use his authority to end all funding to and break all government ties with ACORN:
Dear Mr. President,
We write to you today in the wake of new reports of potentially criminal activity associates of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) to respectfully request that you use your authority to publicly disclose and terminate all federal funding to ACORN and its affiliates.
It is evident that ACORN is incapable of using federal funds in a matter that is consistent with the law. Immediate action is necessary to ensure that no additional tax dollars are directed to ACORN.
Simply put, ACORN should not receive another penny of American taxpayers' money.
Congressional pressure, coupled with the impact of recent media reports, prompted the U.S. Census Bureau on September 11 to end its partnership with ACORN. We support their decision by the Census Bureau, and believe it is vital that all other federal agencies with ties to ACORN follow the Census Bureau's example by severing all ties to ACORN and its affiliates, whether those ties consist of partnerships or the awarding of federal funds, including federal funds distributed through state and local governments from federal block grants.
This is a matter of common sense and respect for taxpayer dollars.
Last year, millions of Americans were outraged to learn their tax dollars were being used to subsidize an organization linked to multiple instances of VOTER REGISTRATION FRAUD and other illicit activity. An analysis of federal data by the Office of the Republican Leader determined that ACORN has received more than $53 million in direct funding from the federal government since 1994, and has likely received substantially more indirectly through states and localities that receive federal block grants.
The Census Bureau has made the commendable decision to sever ties with ACORN, and it is now critical that all remaining federal entities with ties to ACORN do the same. We ask that you use your authority to ensure that all federal funding of ACORN is publicly disclosed and terminated immediately.
To facilitate this effort, the Republican staff of the Oversight Committee has compiled a complete list of the corporations that form the ACORN Council, and we would be pleased to share it with you and members of your administration.
We thank you for your attention to this request.
Freedom Of Speech has a lot to say:
Finally!!!!!!!!!! you guys got your heads out of the sand, and will the democrats get involved now?
We know the president will try to insulate himself as he did in the case of Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Rensko, Father Flaggerty, Rashid Khalidi, and Van Jones.
You forgot Senator Boehner in your letter to mention where 12 of 14 caucus were fixed by ACORN in the 08' primary!
This prohibition should include the entire Apollo Group which is the umbrella organization that includes both ACORN and SEIU [both headed up by the Rathke brothers.]
It is rotten from the top down.
Congress and the Senate must of leaned out the window on 9/12/09, and got their minds SERIOUSLY focused.

REP JOE WILSON NAILS OBAMA!
Rep. Joe Wilson NAILED it last night when he rose up and called Obama a Liar!
Wilson's outburst came after Obama said that extending health care to all Americans who seek it would not mean insuring illegal immigrants.
"You lie!" Wilson shouted from his seat on the Republican side of the chamber.
Republicans froze, with several looking in Wilson's direction.
Did you see the look on Pelosi's face?
Absolutely...Priceless!
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi directed a fierce frown at him, it was reported to us that the first lady Michelle Obama pursed her lips and shook her head from side to side.
Vice President Joe Biden looked down and shook his head, too.
Someone on the right FINALLY had "the balls to stand up" and tell the emperor that he had NO clothes on!
Here in Washington this morning, House Majority Leader Hoyer said "I have never in my 29 years heard an outburst of that nature with reference to a president of the United States speaking as a guest of the House and Senate."
What a short memory this idiot has. What about the three times the Democrats made outburst against former President Bill Clinton and George Bush while speaking before the American people in the same house.
Wilson was ABSOLUTELY correct in his assessment of the Liar-in-Chief. The Center for Immigration Studies released their report this morning, exposing Obama's claim to be an outright lie.
"While the report found that federal subsidies to obtain health coverage would be restricted to U.S. citizens and legal residents, it also noted that the bill DOES NOT specify a citizenship verification system, something that critics say creates a loophole for undocumented immigrants to receive subsidies anyway."
This report just released, "Undermines the claims of the president and others that illegal immigrants would not be covered under the House version of the bill."
Is this the "Change you can believe in?" It's disheartening and outrageous how Obama's changes, broken promises, and falsehoods negatively impact all Americans.
He's not the first politician to do so, he won't be the last, but he certainly placed himself up on a pedestal during his campaign to convince millions of voters that he was above it all.
Above the corruption that has often plagued Washington. That he would bring our country into the age Of fairness, Of honesty, Of smaller government, Of lower taxes, of government accountability and fiscal responsibility!
That he and his sterling administration would be "the most transparent ever."
Not even close...
President Obama changed nothing about his plan. His speech did not move Congress and the Senate any closer to reforms that would put patients first. Instead, he vowed to "call out" people he deems as "misrepresenting" his plan.
Maybe it would help if he read H.R. 3200!
The American people have called out the president and congressional leaders for trying to force their version of health care reform on a public that doesn't want it. That's what the overwhelming response was at those town hall meetings and rallies over the last several months.
The president mocked the concerns of Americans who don't want to see these job-killing, tax-raising policies enacted.
Unfortunately, Wednesday's speech promised more things Washington can't deliver with it's current proposals - promising everyone can keep their current health plan and that reform as Obama imagines it would not add to our deficit.
Bullshit - do the Math!
This just reinforces why we are Marching on Washington!
We citizens are against government waste and deficit spending, against government-run auto companies, bailouts, Crap and Tax and socialized health care!
Our final thoughts:
In a letter to Henry Lee on Aug. 10, 1824, Thomas Jefferson wrote something that could be applied to the arrogant elites who have caused the rising anger in modern America:
"Men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties: 1. Those who fear and distrust the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes. 2. Those who identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe, although not the most wise depository of the public interest..."

THE CLOCK IS TICKING....
When:
Saturday, September 12, 2009 from 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM (ET)
Where:
United States Capital, West Front
1st St. NW & Pennsylvania Ave, NW
Washington, DC
March Starting Time:
March on Washington starts at 11:30 down Pennsylvania Avenue
Come Join Freedom Of Speech for the 09.12.09 March on Washington.
We look forward to joining all of you across Indiana and America in taking an active role in our Constitutional Authority granted to us in the First Amendment to the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the first being...
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances".
Why are we going?
For us this isn't about anyone issue. It is about the continual and progressive actions of a government that doesn't care what the American people want.
We believe in stand up for the principles this country was founded on. What better way to invest our time than in defending the principals of our founding fathers.
So for us, it is time to stand up and be counted as one who wants the government to be responsible, cut the budget, stop raising taxes, and be open about what they are doing. Health care reform is just one issue, Cap and Trade bill is bad for America, and our Mexican border is almost a war zone.
Our government and local government is full of fraud, excess and corruption and we taxpayers are shouldering the burden.
We are tired of being told WE have to cut back and WE have to be responsible and WE have to pay our taxes when government and local officials don't toe the same line.
Freedom Of Speech was selected by the organizing committee and we will proudly carry Indiana's State Flag. We have been notified all 50 states will be represented during the March on Washington.
(Fox News will be airing the event in Washington starting at 8:00 AM.)
Everyone that can afford to do so, needs to go to the big rally in Washington D.C. September 12, and let your voices be heard.
Come and join us and be a part of History!

HEALTHCARE CIRCLE...
I'm from the government and I've noticed the street in front of your home has a couple of potholes. We've decided to tear up the entire street and, instead of replacing the asphalt, we're going to use a different material.
This new material has failed everywhere we've used it but in theory, it should work just fine!
People who don't need cars seem quite satisfied with it.
And by the way, we're going to need your bank account number to help pay for the solution.
Thank you for your time!

COULDA, SHOULDA, WOULDA...
He sounded like a man who has been under a lot of self-inflicted stress, who wanted to find someone else to blame and wanted someone to feel sorry for him.
This was sad, desperate and pathetic!
Now, we don't know Pitino's wife, but would it be fair to suggest that her difficult time was NOT directly related to her husband being blackmailed, but instead to the fact that he did something to be blackmailed for?
The mess from cheating on his wife, his family and his reputation in an upscale restaurant.
Speaking of the upscale restaurant:
He didn't even bother to get a room, just banged her right there in the restaurant bathroom, with his assistant standing guard is only a one-time, momentary lapse.
Uh-huh...
Real classy, Pimptino!
You would at least think he would have took her to Motel 6 where they "always keep the light on" for you, and it's only $49.00!
Well for one who would like to see Bobby Knight back into coaching. Will take him throwing chairs and getting in players faces any day over a scum bag hypocrite like Rick Pitino. Knight has standards morals and convictions.
What is sad, all the tailored suits, million dollar contract and $400 haircuts in the world won't ever instill a sense of decency and honor back to this secretive scum bag.
The Court of Public Opinion MATTERS!
GO Wildcats!

COMMON SENSE...THINKING OUT LOUD:
Obama's latest buzzword "affordable".
What exactly does "Affordable Health Care mean?"
When a human hears the word "affordable", the word transmutes on their mind to mean something "they can afford" or something that is within their "Price Range".
Does "affordable" to someone like Bill Gates mean the same "price range" as someone who "flips" burgers at McDonald's?
Of course NOT, that is why "affordable" is a "buzzword" with little if any meaning and the definition is entirely different to each individual.
Barack Obama states that "Heath Care Insurance" today, is something only the WEALTHY can afford and his administration will cut costs and "streamline" requirements in such a way, that "everyone" will be able to afford "ObamaCare" and that he will make sure that ObamaCare is "Deficit Neutral".
Our common sense tells us:
* What exactly is a "PRICE" that the millions who are chronically unemployed can afford?
* What exactly is a "PRICE" that the millions who are retired can afford?
* What exactly is a "PRICE" that the millions who are on welfare can afford?
* What exactly is a "PRICE" that the millions who are drawing unemployment can afford?
* What exactly is a "PRICE" that the millions who are on Social Security can afford?
If the "PRICE" for ObamaCare will ensure deficit neutrality [pays for itself], how much will ObamaCare cost for each individual?
Barack Obama and Congress members will avoid that question as if the question were the plague because they know that in the likelihood the "Price for Health Care" - WILL increase - NOT decrease!
Common logic dictates one cannot buy "one pie" at the grocery for your family and feed 47 million more people with the same pie.

What exactly does "Affordable Health Care mean?"
When a human hears the word "affordable", the word transmutes on their mind to mean something "they can afford" or something that is within their "Price Range".
Does "affordable" to someone like Bill Gates mean the same "price range" as someone who "flips" burgers at McDonald's?
Of course NOT, that is why "affordable" is a "buzzword" with little if any meaning and the definition is entirely different to each individual.
Barack Obama states that "Heath Care Insurance" today, is something only the WEALTHY can afford and his administration will cut costs and "streamline" requirements in such a way, that "everyone" will be able to afford "ObamaCare" and that he will make sure that ObamaCare is "Deficit Neutral".
