The Good, the Bad and the Ugly…….

A new business is set to open in downtown New Albany in the old Fashion Shop building. A lot of traffic passes daily (and completely bypasses downtown) by this highly visible, and long-vacant, building at Spring St.
Some are lamenting that it is ‘only a flea market.’ What these critics fail to realize is that it will be yet another reason for people to stop and linger, and perhaps check out what is further down the street or around the corner. More people, more cash, more business….
Good luck to Messrs. Benjamin and Collins, and all those who rent the booths….

The Ninth District Congressional race is getting more interesting by the day. Hill: ‘Good idea’ was a bad idea; GOP says it will change ad.
The Dems criticize Congressman Sodrel for being too far to the right, the President’s virtual lap dog.
At the same time, it is interesting that Baron Hill tries to show the he is the true God fearin’, church goin’, gay hatin’, flag wavin’, gun lovin’, senior protectin’, veteran respectin’, terrorist killin’, family values prayin’ candidate. (Did I leave something out?) It sounds like even his car doesn’t turn to the left anymore!
It appears Ninth District voters, on the whole, must truly embrace conservatism.

The mayor continues his unbroken string of inept, politically divisive appointments: Stormwater board’s reign arrives. Given the contentious atmosphere surrounding the entire stormwater, and interrelated sewer issues, one would think that a savvy politician/person would appoint a chair who could at least appear to soothe some of the wounds. [I think the article’s title, unfortunately and unintentionally, says it all.]
The mayor, however, has demonstrated he has no political savvy. It appears he is not only trying to absolutely destroy his own political career, but take the local Democrat party down with him.
Oh, well. Time for a motorbike ride with some friends. We have been told that the leaves are really starting to turn up around Brownstown. My wife and I love the fall season, so we’re going to check it out.

You are so right about Garner. He is doing things now just to make people in New Albany mad. He is making the Democrats and our party look stupid. I wonder why Baron Hill has not made some big appearance with Garner to get an endorsement or some support. He probably knows that Garners word carries no weight anymore. It would probably cost Baron Hill some votes, so he has probably asked Garner to shut up. I heard that the two would not even hardly talk to each other at the Democrats picnic a few weeks ago.
I forgot. I love that movie. I have it on DVD and might watch it tonight.
I also heard negative comments about the new flea market. I don't understand this. Flea markets are a big draw these days. This may be the start of something good. We might have vintage dress shops and more antique stores as does Bardstown RD (Highlands area) and Frankfort Ave.
As to Mr. Deatrick. I was sad but not surprised. Tim has been sucking up big time to get this job. I agree, Garner has NO political savvy. He knows he's a lame duck Mayor and is going to do exactly what he wants and damn the outcome.
Time will prove how wrong you are. Deatrick is absolutely the best choice for this position.
Mr. Deatrick made his calls to intro:himself to the Council? That seemed stupid since everyone on the Council knows he's the "lap dog" for the mayor.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Council set salaries for the Stormwater Board at $0 except for the Engineer?
At least we know we will be getting our money's worth out of tiny tim Detrick.
I would venture to say that making this appointment was probably the only way Garner could get tiny tim to stop 'stalking' him.
Still, it's just another bad choice to go along with all the other bad choices Garner has made for departmental heads.
We can take a little solace in the knowledge that we only have one more year of this nonsense to endure.
eastender,
Now T.T. wants an attorney, and Big Sam etc. The IU Prof. is already complaining.
