Signals
If you slept in (or just divorced yourself from the news) this weekend, you missed some fairly dramatic news, most of which is recapped in the posts below.
In celebration of Tony Stewart's masterful win Sunday in California, we're going to put the ol' opinion race car in the garage today and just point you to some good links.
First, you'll want to read the Courier-Journal's profile of the East Spring Street Neighborhood Association and its efforts to make a more livable city. The story, by correspondent Christopher Hall, is here. In a couple of weeks, the story will move to the paid archives, so check it out now.
The online edition is accompanied by a photo of association president Greg Roberts, who pulled double duty on this one, driving his public service race car and then switching to his opinion-maker race car.
In the print edition, you should note the left gutter includes a somewhat garbled notice that the New Albany City Council will be holding another work session on Scribner Place tomorrow night, starting at 6:30. The nature of such sessions is that there is no public comment period (unless Mr. Schmidt decides he'll just open one), but it will be a good time to see your council members in action and measure their seriousness. Who knows, you might even have the chance after the meeting to tell them what you think about the issues facing New Albany. The meeting should last no longer than an hour.
And don't forget that the Board of Public Works and Safety will convene in an extraordinary evening meeting on Wednesday. The Calumet Club on East Spring Street near Vincennes is the site, 6:30 is the time. All city department heads will be on hand, so if you have a problem that you think the city can resolve, this is your chance to raise it. The meeting is being hosted by the aforementioned ESSNA.
For great commentary on the wider world of national politics, may I recommend Josh Marshall's daily blog, Talking Points Memo at www.talkingpointsmemo.com.
