Freedom Of Speech would like to ask:
Why do the Police, Fire or the County Police 911 dispatchers need $8,000.00 for a clothing allowance when they only answer the phone and sit at computers?
When you combine union and non-union workers, two different departments, some make more money and others make less. One department get better benefits the others get less benefits this is a disaster in the making.
Would you take a cut in pay and give up your sweetheart deal? Bush stated in last weeks News and Tribune once the deal is approved they both can vote the union back in.
BTW, did we mention that Steve Bush will be running for Sheriff in the next county election?
Mayor England and Commissioner Bush state combining the city and county communications will save us $300,000-$400,000.
Do the math folks, based on this information this will cost Floyd County taxpayers even more!
Just another "political scam" to help get themselves elected.
The City of New Albany doesn't have a revenue problem what we have is a SPENDING problem and his name is Douglas B. England!
Do you really want Doug England spending "your tax dollars" for another 4 years?
"Hell NO...We sure don't!"

WILL SHE RUN?
Our sources in Washington DC, tells us Hillary Rodham Clinton will run for president in 2012.
We, were told that in recent weeks, Bill Clinton, has been meeting with democratic operatives in Washington and grass roots leaders early primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
Bill thinks the time is right, Hillary can easily wrestle the nomination from a weakened Barack Obama.
Bill has been heard telling Hillary's big donors and supporters "It's her time!" the world desperately needs Hillary as President.
In fact our sources (close to the Clinton's) told us that James Carville, Paul Begala and, surprisingly, Dick Morris and several others, have all signed up to join the Hillary for President team.
Bill Clinton likes Hillary's chances and even stated, "Hillary is going to crush Obama!" and the country is going to get two for one.
The GOP is terrified she will run because they know she has established firmly her credibility as a power figure and as a no-nonsense achiever of elusive goals that no one else seems to master. Look what she has done with foreign powers!
As you know the last prosperous era for this country was under her husband's leadership 1993-2001. Who can argue with the benefits of "pillow talk" between the two?
Recent Rasmussen poll shows and has Hillary with a favorable rating among Americans has soared to 70% approval rating, and that is very impressive.
2012 is going to be a wild year!
So, do we believe Hillary will run for President in 2012?
"You Betcha!"
God Bless You Hillary and God Bless the United States of America!

P.S. We'd sign it but we're sure our "B-day wishes" would earn us an immediate visit from the Secret Service...
Tuesday, August 02, 2011
DID YOU KNOW...
The U.S. Secret Service does more than protect Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. - the agency also pays him rent.
We wonder how come NO one calls him a slumlord?
Since April, Mr. Biden has collected more than $13,000 from the agency charged with protecting him and his family for use of a rental cottage adjacent to the waterfront home he owns in a Wilmington, Del., suburb.
Mr. Biden, listed not as vice president in federal purchasing documents but as a "vendor," is eligible for up to $66,000 by the time the government contracts expires in the fall of 2013, the record show.
Isn't this amazing. Biden gets paid by American taxpayers, the Secret Service gets paid by the American taxpayer and who is getting screwed here: The American Taxpayer!
How's that Hope & Change workin for you?

WAS COUNCILMAN PRICE RIGHT?
Congratulations to Ron Craig on his court case "victory" against the Historic Associations.
Our understanding with talking with Mr. Craig, he will be filing an additional lawsuit to recover damages and his attorney fees from the Historic Associations.
Was Councilman Steve Price right?
Absolutely!
NO group, associations or an elected official is above the law. Did the Historical Associations step over the line?
Absolutely!
We applaud Councilman Price for standing up for what he believed in and standing up to the Historic Preservation.

What a sweetheart deal you got...Mr. Gibson!
Is this the CHANGE Doug England promised when he ran for Mayor?
Do you taxpayers really want Doug England sitting on our council in 2012?
A VOTE for Doug England, is a VOTE for Carl Malysz, Shane Gibson, Kay Garry, John Rosenbarger, Scott Woods and Mickey Thompson, as always to continue "raping the taxpayers" of the City of New Albany!

WILL NEW ALBANY TURNING INTO ANOTHER "PRICHARD, ALABAMA?"
Have you ever heard of Prichard, Alabama?
The City of Prichard had NO money to award overtime or make more hires and did it anyway. Their mayor spent tax dollars like a drunken sailor, their controller kept poor records and the city council passed pretty much what ever the mayor wanted. The Mayor also encouraged public safety employees to bank compensatory time, sick time and vacation time.
"Mayor Ron Davis and members of the City Council say they were saddled with a plan that was doomed long before they took office. (Does this sound familiar?) They even imply that some public safety workers "juiced the system" while still working in order to ensure a better retirement for themselves as reported by Robert McClendon, Press-Register."
To make a long story short, in 2003, an auditor caution Pritchard, Alabama that the town would run out of money by 2009. Did the mayor and the council members sell city assets and cut corners?
Nope! Six years later, exactly as predicted, Pritchard ran out of money. For the last two years city public service employees have not received NOT one pension check.
Why are we sharing this with you?
Have you read the 2010 State Board of Account Audit or the News and Tribune dated July 8, 2011?
City Controller Kay Garry said "spending in the fire, police and emergency communications department accounted for 78 percent of the annual general fund budget by her last calculation."
Which is it Mrs. Garry?
How about telling the newspaper and the taxpayers the truth.
No wonder the State Board of Accounts could not Audit 9 of the City's Accounts out of 20!
It is our opinion that if you are controller you should be handing out these figures to each and every last one of our 9 council members.
How many times have you sat through a council meeting and Mrs. Garry stated: "let me get back to you on that dollar amount or that information!"
This woman has been city controller through several administrations. She should know this information like she knows her own social security number.
Well, Mrs. Garry, Freedom Of Speech caught you in another BIG-FAT lie.
Yes, we are calling you a liar, Mrs. Garry!
You do the math, taxpayers, like we did...

He's not only mismanaged our tax dollars he has committed "malfeasance", he's lied to our city council, he's lied to you the taxpayers, and he's TIF and expanded TIF's to the point we are headed towards bankruptcy just like Prichard, Alabama and other cities.
If you don't believe us read the 2010 Audit, then do the math. There are 16 departments paid from our General Fund. If those 3 departments are costing $14,081,215.39, with a approved budget of about $15.8 million and the England administration and the controller knows you can not use TIF Funds for salaries, or borrow money from one fund to another fund without council approval, our city is doomed!
The last 3 years, 6 months and 19 days has been nothing more than a shell game England has played so he can keep spending money we don't have.
Do you taxpayers really want Doug England sitting on our council in 2012?

FLASHBACK TO MARCH 2006....
"The fact that we are here today to debate rising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government can not pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that 'the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today on the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership, Americans deserve better."
Barack Hussein Obama, March 2006
Barack Hussein Obama, March 2006

DEBT LIMIT...
Instead of figuring out how high or whether or not to raise the debt limit, they all need to be in a room figuring out what they can cut in spending to prevent the necessity of raising the debt threshold!
This is the time and place to be frugal.
To continue reckless spending on credit as we have done for years is NOT working. If that means that we shut down the Department of Energy, Hud, Education, Agriculture, lay off federal employees, then do it. Cut government to the bone and then, and only then talk about adding to the debt.
There is simply to much waste and fraud to claim we must increase the debt limit.
Our final thoughts:
Obama's solution is: "eat your PEAS American! " We say: stand strong and call his bluff. Just remember Republicans and Democrats all Obama gives a damn about is getting reelected!
What Americans need is jobs, jobs and more jobs.
So, how's that Hope & Change working for you?
"Don't blame us, we voted for Hillary Clinton!"

So, how's that Hope & Change working for you?

TO: NAC AND JEFF GILLENWATER...
The law does not state "Planned Parenthood (1) is barred from receiving federal funds." Federal law prohibits the use of Federal dollars for abortion funding. Planned Parenthood (2) accepts federal dollars. Planned Parenthood provides (3) abortions with these federal dollars.
Planned Parenthood claims, along with NAC and Mr. Gillenwater this bill is dangerous and would have a "devastating impact on women's health" that is a bare face lie! Planned Parenthood always (4) uses this ridiculous statement when their funding is in danger. They know their biggest money maker is abortion. Abortion is their CASH cow.
Of course defunding Planned Parenthood actually improves the health care services for female preventive care like breast and cervical cancer screening and other test.
Listen up, NAC and Jeff Gillenwater: Indiana owes Planned Parenthood nothing. You are not the spokespeople for all citizens of the state.
Planned Parenthood is NOT the only avenue to birth control, PAP smears, cancer screening or other preventative treatment. These procedures can be done at the local county health clinic. There is no reason that taxpayers should be forced to support Planned Parenthood.
It's a sick and sad day when an abortion industry which gets upwards of a million dollars a day from federal government.
Indiana is making its own funding decisions by following the law.
Thank God for State Rep. Clere. We need more courageous men like him to stand up for what is right and moral. The non-abortion services offered by Planned Parenthood are available through many other healthcare providers in the State of Indiana, so there is no reduction in service available to women in Indiana due to this reduction in funding for Planned Parenthood.
We truly believe that it is very important to honor a woman's right to choose...but only as it pertains to getting pregnant or not (the man has a choice too, snip-snip).
Once a new life has been created in the mother's womb, her only real moral choice for the man and woman is whether they will raise the child or make an adoption plan.
According to the 10th Amendment, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
And last we heard, the Indiana lawmakers and State Rep. Ed Clere knew a bit more about running a state than NAC, and the abortion clinic down the road, Mr. Gillenwater.
You're entitled to your opinion, NAC and Mr. Gillenwater, but not your so called 'scare tactics' and your own made up lies about State Rep. Ed Clere!
Thank you State Rep. Clere for hitting the nail right on the head, when it comes to taxpayers money and the real facts.

WHAT THE TRIBUNE REFUSES TO PRINT...
After reading the News & Tribune this week. We've decided that the local newspaper refuses to print the facts and only allows Mayor England to spin it his own way!
Is the Tribune bias when it comes to Doug England?
We always thought the newspaper should keep readers informed of their actions of our local government, our tax dollars, and accurate account of the performances of elected and appointed officials.
We have yet read not one line of criticism against England, Garry, Gibson or Malysz over the recent audit, or the mismanagement of tax dollars over the last 3 1/2 years.
Is this causing the "Tribune readership" to drop?
Since our local newspaper hasn't print all the facts (that affect each of us and our wallets) how about the facts they refused to put in print of the 2010 City Audit.
We think every taxpayer should know the ugly truth about the England Administration.
Grab yourself a big mug of coffee you might want to throw in some Jack Daniels just to numb the anger!

Indiana Code 6-1.1-18-4 states in part "the proper officers of a political subdivision shall appropriate funds in such a manner that the expenditures for a year do not exceed the budget for that year as finally determined under this article."
* "The City has an employee who holds the position of Public Works Project Supervisor. This position serves as the project coordinator/manager for the public works of the City including those within the City's various TIF Districts. During the audit period there were multiple public works projects being managed by this employee. The majority of these projects occurred within the different TIF Districts. Separate funds are maintained to account for the activity for each TIF District. The salary of this employee should be allocated to each of the applicable funds based on the time spent on each project. A record of hours spent on each project was not presented for audit and the entire salary of this employee was charged to the TIF Grantline Road Fund."
Freedom Of Speech would like to know who this employee is, how much he is being paid and what FUND he is now being paid out of?
It is illegal to use TIF money for salaries.
* "The city has an ordinance (G-10-13) setting the rates to be charged for sewer disposal. We noted that City owned facilities ARE NOT being billed for sewer disposal charges. The rate ordinances does not provide provisions to exempt City owned facilities. Prior to January 2009, sewer billing were being handled by an outside contractor and the City was being billed for sewer charges for facilities it owned. In January 2009, the city brought the sewer billing in house and it was at this time that billings to city owned facilities stopped."
Freedom Of Speech would like to ask who authorized this, and when will they be paying there last two years of sewers bills and late fees?
When you read the complete 53 pages of the 2010 City of New Albany Audit. (1) You either want to quit paying your own sewer bills. (2) move (3) pray England does not end up on our council. (4) you see all the greedy corruption in a small town (with less than 37,000 people) and wonder why NO one ever demands accountability or why NO one is ever prosecuted.
Same England, same excuses, same problems, every time he's in office!
Our final thoughts, it's a damn shame we have spineless council members, a worthless prosecutor, and a group of arrogant, greedy Son-of-a-Bitches running this town!
footnote: Garry said June 23, 2011 "the sanitation fund actually had a positive cash flow of $84,740 last year." But her own end of the year report shows we only had $80,464.89 ending cash sanitation fund balance. We wonder where the other $4,276.89 went?
We demand that you Mrs. Garry & Douglas B. England resign. It is our opinion you two are NOT fit to handle taxpayers money!
Do you really want Doug England sitting on our council?

UNDER GOD...
If you visit the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., you will find it inscribed with the text of the Gettysburg Address, including the phrase, "that this nation, under God, shall have a new the birth of Freedom."
All media elitists need to go to Afghanistan to fight for that wasteful misuse of your freedom of speech. You (NBC) have squandered your credibility with the American Public on this single despicable act.
In GOD we Trust...not you anyway!

THE SCAM OF ALL SCAMS....
* 111 condo units priced at $182,000 up to $1.26 million
* 550 parking spaces and a 65,000 square foot public plaza
* Commercial space to include restaurants, a grocery market and movie theater
* Development would overlook the Ohio River
They say this project will NOT cost the taxpayers NOT one red cent.
Wrong! Another Malysz lie!
When TIF funds are NOT there to make the "bond payments" they will have to use EDIT Funds.
Let us refresh your memory:
Redevelopment minutes of November 14, 2001, the State Street Parking Garage Bond were to be paid off with TIF collections from the Downtown TIF area. The Downtown TIF area were NOT sufficient for those bond payments. State Street Parking Garage Bond payments were paid for through EDIT.
At this time the State Street Parking Garage and Mr. Malysz owes our EDIT Fund:
$3,613,698.46
Why would we ever want to invest in another parking garage?
We are sick and tired of being "lied" to by Doug England and Carl Malysz!
This is truly the Scam of all Scams...

Now, you know why the City Of New Albany is Broke and on the verge of bankruptcy!
footnote: In addition to the above figures, over the last 12 months the council has appropriated $500,000 for police cars and five new hires which (disappeared). Last nights council meeting they appropriated $175,000 for 7 new police cars. Three will be SUV's and four cars. And, the NAPD is still $1.8 million in the red!
Something here, doesn't pass the smell test.

A CLEAN VOTE - 318-97...
The operative word regarding the now critically out of control Federal debt is "unsustainable!"
No longer can our esteemed C0ngress continue to simply kick the fiscal responsibility "can" down the road.
Without massive changes to government spending, there won't be a USA for our children and grand children to live in.
When will we understand that Obama will not "hear or listen". Obama has an agenda. He will continue to say anything and everything. He will continue to lie, distract, and divert from reality to complete his socialist agenda for this country.
Cut spending and then raise the National Debt limit is a Ponzi scheme.
Cut the budget by $1.5 Trillion dollars by cutting welfare, food stamps, state aid, Illegal's getting free schooling. Take all of the Illegal's out of our prisons and send them back from the Country of orgin and get rid of some 150 government agencies that we don't need.
Get rid of the I.R.S. and start a national tax of 7% and cannot be raised except by a super majority of public vote not our corrupt government.
Fix medicare so it will be around for people in the future and pass an ammendment to force Congress and the Morons in the White House to Balance the Budget or leave office permnantly!
As they say here in New Albany: "Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way!"
Were sick of government raping us taxpayers!
