There was a lively blog discussion on another blog the other day about placing trash cans in different areas of the city. Some people liked the idea while others thought this would encourage more people to bring their trash to these areas and sometimes "miss" the trash cans resulting in
piles of trash on the ground.
Another thought was having the non-violent offenders at the Floyd County Jail pick up trash around town.
The idea of placing trash cans around town sounds good to me. Maybe people will get the hint and realize that people in this town want our town kept clean.
I also like the idea of offenders picking up trash. There was talk about the problem of liability and insurance. What if people were offered community service instead of jail time for minor, non-violent offences? This would help with our jail overcrowding and clean up our city at the same time.
Thoughts anyone?

I understand that there is an effort underway to provide benches and trash cans. I was out of town and missed the details.
On balance, I think it's better to have trash receptacles than not, but I accept evidence that supports the reverse.
OK, so we know the litterers are not going to accept respsonsibility, otherwise this conversation would not be occurring. At least the availability of refuse cans may, if nothing else, cut down on the amount of litter piled up at the main entrance to our city.
We can place cans at the worst sights, (the seem to work in the downtown proper areas), but the big question in my mind is whose responsibility is it to ensure that the areas are kept clean?
With on eof the worst areas a little less than 2 blocks away from city hall, surely some one has seen it who graces city hall.
Naturally trash issues should be handled by the sanitation department, but we have none, just a contracted company that barely gets the job done for residential service....
So I ask, where does the burden lie?
TRASH CANS COST $$$$, THEN WHO WILL PICK THEM UP? SHERIFF MILLS TOLD ME, THE DEPARTMEMT MUST HAVE INSURANCE ON INMATES, AS I HAD THIS SAME DISCUSSION YOU ALL ARE NOW TALKING ABOUT. I WONDER HOW COME THE TRIBUNE HAS NOT PRINTED "NOT ONE WORD' ABOUT THE CURRENT FEDERAL LAWSUIT AGAINST FLOYD COUNTY JAIL?
We could purchase a lot of benches and trash cans if they laid off a few at City Hall.
Why does this adminstration continue to throw good money after bad downtown? I don't want not one more dollar of my property taxes to go for nothing downtown. We have more important issues to deal with, then putting all of our eggs in one basket. In fact I can give you about 36,000 other reasons why not.
I did see that the trash cans had been placed around the downtown area this evening! :)
OK so the county must have insurance on inmates, so what about community service?
Many other cities are having people do community service by picking up trash, why not us?
That's a great point Shirley, maybe someone needs to have a conversation with Chief Crabtree. My sources tell me, the City is getting ready to raise the sanitation bill at least $5.00 more on the month. I say take bids and find a local company, like Donnie Blevins, who can not be controllled by the mayor. Any thoughts, anyone?
Chief Crabtree has nothing to do with community service or inmate work details.
Inmates fall under Sheriff Mills, and community service falls under Floyd County Community Corrections (if it is still around), Last I knew Don HArshey was the Director of COmmunity Corrections and it was located in the annex building on Grant Line Road.
At the very least community service would fall under the probation department.
"I don't want not one more dollar of my property taxes to go for nothing downtown."
In which case, do not want what you have not got. Or something.
Mrs. Baird,
It starts with leadership, and believe me this city has none.
Anon 2:20 Then I guess we either need to light a fire under our "leaders" or talk to the probation department ourselves.
I'll see what I can do as a private citizen.
A leader is a dealer in hope.
- Napoleon Bonaparte
You do not lead by hitting people over the head - that's assault, not leadership.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower:
People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. . . . The leader works in the open, and the boss in covert. The leader leads, and the boss drives.
- Theodore Roosevelt
Mrs. Baird,
It starts with leadership, and believe me this city has none.
-Anonymous June 11, 2009 2:20 PM
I gladly would welcome anyone in this community who is willing to step up and show leadership. If we are to believe that leadership was understood by Napoleon, Eisenhower and Roosevelt, we’ll know that real leadership in this community will not come from the coward who anonymously tears down others’ ideas. Such people are dealers in fear; they are not dealers in hope. New Albany’s next great leader will be the one who stands up and shows people how we all can make this a better community.
We have plenty of Leaders in this community.
Problem is we have more people who are ready and willing to fire up the torches and march through town as an angry mob with every idea, suggestion, proposal or action.
I called Don Harshey and left a msg on his VM, let's see what happens.
I checked the Building Connissioners office and could not find a building permit for Baylor's addition. Can anyone help me out in blog land. Where can I get a copy of the permit if there is even one?
Just can't stand to see someone accomplish something, can you?
I accompanied the building owner/contractor to the Board of Zoning Appeals in 2008, and we were given permission to construct the "addition" (grain room) on the back side, facing the alley. I assume that's the source of anonymous's complaint.
IAH, you're quite correct. Anyone in New Albany who can accomplish something is a target, precisely because we're home to so many who cannot, and who enjoy seeking refuge in their own failures.
I checked the Building Connissioners office and could not find a building permit for Baylor's addition.
I believe we need more code enforcement; if the building owner did not have a permit, then that’s a problem.
However, I have a question for Anonymous. Let’s assume the Bank St. Brewery did not have a permit for its addition. What would Anonymous have done then? Does Anonymous check at the city-county building every time he/she sees a potential code violation? Of all the code violations in New Albany, why would a lack of a permit at the brewery take precedence over other violations? I didn’t read Anonymous blog about code violations on Ekin? Are the children living in slum rental units not as deserving of Anonymous code enforcement efforts?
If this effort by Anonymous came from a genuine concern that our ordinances be enforced, I question the priority of his/her efforts but otherwise applaud his/her civic engagement. If this effort by Anonymous solely was an attempt to punish or embarrass Mr. Baylor and score political points, an attempt that would hindering investment in New Albany by an expanding business, then that deserves no applause.
Anonymous blogger, I assume you are genuinely concerned that all businesses in our city both obey the law and flourish economically. I’m eager to hear from you your ideas for how this city can see more code enforcement and more investment from businesses.
June 13, 3:01. I'm very concerned. So I'm checking everyone out not just Baylor. Maybe some one needs to put a fire under the mayor's a**!
I personally throw trash out of my auto window. Why you ask? It's called job security, for our workers downtown.
I'm very concerned. So I'm checking everyone out not just Baylor.
What other possible violations have you found? Do tell. Are all the rentals in NA in compliance?
"June 13, 3:01. I'm very concerned. So I'm checking everyone out not just Baylor. Maybe some one needs to put a fire under the mayor's a**!"
This is proof we need more code enforcement officers.
Checking on business for the sake of the city? Please!! for Gods sake, somehow I feel this is the same person who threw fits over the menu boards on the sidewalks downtown, and the cafe tables on the sidewalks downtown. Seems strange after that episode in our city Main Street Grind gave up and closed it doors. Some people are just idiots with too much time on their hands
News flash,Coyle family is wanting our city to purchase their property at $400,000 less than appraisal. There is talk instead of putting condo's there, they will tear down the building as it is to expensive to rehab it. We have been assured by the mayor and others, Spring Street will only be paved NOT converted into two way streets.
Regardless, the Hitching Post will still be the employees favorite lunch place. Sorry charlie, or should we just say sorry, Roger. Old habits are hard to break, plus their food is much better!
“Freedom of Speech” seems to feel free to completely mislead and misinform. The last posts says that they city in planning on a $10,000,000, Restoration of M. Fine. “Erik” cites the web site http://www.invest.in.gov/ as its source. I followed this site and found no reference to M. Fine. That’s just one of many examples of incorrect number reporting. Shame on you, Anonymous “Professor.”
That's funny, I found M Fine Factory on the list, guess you had to much to drink, when you checked it out.
They seem to have Floyd County mixed in with the City of New Albany.
btw: his name is Erik not Erika.
7:41, Just ignore anonymous. It's all that kool-aid he or she's been drinking. Beside how smart can a pollock be, and a mayor who stays drunk all the time.
Anyone going to the Jefferson Jackson Dinner in Indianapolis?
A former Centeral Committee member told, they have been invited to meet Bill and Hillary Clinton in New Albany on Saturday.
Lucky them. see I knew I should have became a democrat.
Hillary for President
I heard that also (anonymous) and I heard they're staying at the Admiral Bicknell Inn on Main Street. My buddy's wife who works at the Indiana State Police, confirmed and told my wife yesterday. You know how women are, none of them can keep a secret like us men can.
only important person I ever met was Mayor Ernie. He was packin a gun. I think I was about four years old. What ever happen to him?
Those were the good old days. Officer Burris told me once, Ernie use to listen in on everyone's conversation. I bet he did too. Anyone remember when Atkins rode his horse into town and tied it up to a parking meter?
So if it IS Eric, the wise and sage professor, please answer the age old question of what college does he "teach" at...
Because I cant find one anywhere around here....
"Old habits are hard to break, plus their food is much better!"
It's nice to have options, eh?
"btw: his name is Erik not Erika."
If you and the "professor" are such good friends, then tell us "Eric's" last name?
Dear anonymous writer who keeps insisting that there's a real professor behind FOS. You need seriously medical attention for your mental health issues. Obviously you are unstable and have problems with logical thinking, not to mention delusions of self importance.
Any please tell us which links we click on to get to the information about the $10 million the mayor supposedly wants to spend on M. Fine.
Someone need to light a fire under your psychiatrist’s a**?
From FOS:
"Total Projects: Stimulus = England = enrich pockets of friends"
Nice allegation. Now such us the proof. Put up or shut up.
If England is a crook, I want him out. Sure me the proof of this allegation, once little once of proof, and we'll help you get him out.
Put up or shut up.
FOS /Anonymous commenter here not only does her civic duty of code inspection on Roger’s and all other buildings in town, but she also does the FBI’s job by being the sole prosecutor of public corruption in New Albany. Now that’s one talented girl!
I'm laughing so hard that I'm spitting barbecued bologna all over the cat.
She spits up all the time, anyway.
I mean Erika -- not the cat.
"...barbecued bologna..."
You over at Dan's house or he at yours?
At least the cat is confident enough in her own opinions that she doesn't masquerade as a dog.
You know how women are, none of them can keep a secret like us men can.
More gender shifting.
About CDBGs, the un-professor recently wrote:
“What happen to that $10,000,000 million Mayor England said our city would receive?”
More lies from the website that can’t even get its profession, name or gender correct.
Tell us FOS, when did the Mayor say we would get $10,000,000 in CDBG money?
“More lies from the website that can’t even get its profession, name or gender correct.”
What would you expect from a website that agrees with Steve “This is your brain on drugs” Price?
Good One Anonymous. Tell that dummy at freedom of speech to stop making an a** of itself.
Jackie
I’m still waiting to see how I get to the part of the website that says the Mayor wants to invest $10,000,000 of city money in the M. Fine building. Sounds like someone is making something up.
Lucky them. see I knew I should have became a democrat.
Hillary for President
I know you live in a dream world and all but, I’d hate to break it to you, the election was seven months ago.
Then again, since when have facts stopped Freedom of Speech?
“I personally throw trash out of my auto window. Why you ask? It's called job security, for our workers downtown.”
Obviously, this is a petty comment from someone infuriated and frustrated that she or he is so weak and powerless and cannot get her or his childish way. Time to grow up.
If the "professor" is so smart, why does he get is facts wrong every single time he makes a post?
If the "professor" is so smart, why does he get is facts wrong every single time he makes a post?
Where does Eric teach?
Apparently not at IUS, UofL, Bellarmine, Spalding, JCC or Sullivan.
Below are linked to the faculty lists for the political science departments at each school. There was only one Eric political science professor I could find.
Eric Roorda, PhD
BA - College of William and Mary
MA, PhD - Johns Hopkins University
Office: Pasteur 208A (P208A)
Phone: (502) 452-8168
Email: eroorda@bellarmine.edu
I emailed Dr. Roorda and received a response that he did not blog on New Albany matters and focused almost exclusively on International Relationships. Telling, though not surprising for someone with a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins, he used correct grammar and spelling in his response.
Anonymous and liar FOS author, tell us, where does “Eric” teach?
http://www.ius.edu/PoliticalScience/Faculty.cfm
http://louisville.edu/politicalscience/faculty
http://www.bellarmine.edu/cas/politicalscience/faculty.asp
http://www.spalding.edu/directory/directoryframe.asp
http://www.jcc.kctcs.edu/administration/Programs/default.php (Click on director at top, search by first name “Eric.” You will receive only one hit, a faculty member who teaches education)
http://www.sullivan.edu/faculty.asp (Search “eric political” or anything similar and receive zero hits.)
I think Eric teaches at a beauty college.
Maybe a pet obedience academy LOL.
A pet obedience academy? As instructor or pupil?
Maybe Eric teaches at an Alien university? That would explain the superior intelligence that we mere mortals cannot understand.
Like how FOS says 2 + 2 = 5?
Exactly!
This is about RIGHT, you folks want everyone else to do your job. I found M. Fine on the list, you all just got to deny it's not there, when it is.
Again, FOS is correct.
FOS is correct about everything except its:
1) gender
2) profession
3) education and
4) content of its posts.
The rest I agree with!
I found M. Fine on the list, you all just got to deny it's not there, when it is.
FOS made the vague assertion that Mayor England wanted the city to invest TEN MILLION in M. FINE, that this had something to do with federal stimulus funds, and that proof of such was one a certain website.
I'm not saying FOS is wrong. I'm just saying that if FOS is correct, why can't FOS point out to me the place where this information is listed?
Do we need to send FOS back to obedience school?
"you folks want everyone else to do your job."
No, I want Dan Coffey and Steve Price to do their jobs. Stop trying to prevent development and reinvestment in New Albany. Start obeying the constitution and redistrict. Stop being in Coffey's case a loud mouthed bully and in Price's case a clueless incoherent moral. In both of their cases, they need to their jobs by listening to people and making informed, intelligent decisions, something about which they know absolutely nothing.

If not Bellarmine or IUS or Spalding? If not JCC or Sullivan? What area college has a political science professor named “Eric” on its faculty?
Hey anonymous, maybe Eric used to teach at U of L but got fired because he can’t write with correct grammar. I wouldn’t give my last name either because I’d be too embarrassed I was so stupid.
Brad
I hate while anonymous/Eric tries to think up a come back. However, I’m sure that if I wait long enough, anonymous/Eric will have some incoherent response that links England to the outbreak of swine flu and Baylor to the outbreak of World War II.
WHERE DOES "ERIC" TEACH??????
What a waste of time.
This pseudonym of "Erik/Erika" is nothing more than failed politicians9 A woman who ran for office and was laughingly rejected by the public) halloween mask and everyone knows it.
She is nothing more than a miserable, lonely dried up old bitty who feels like it gives some meaning to her otherwise empty, ignorant life to attack everyone in this city.
I know it, you know it, and the transgendered wonder itself knows it.
Plagiaristic,benightedness, infantile, nescient, inconsiderable, unintelligible, tripe of a beguiling individual who has serious issues.
DLB
I agree. Reading FOS you'd think "Eric" only goal in life was to make everyone in New Albany as much a failure as the "professor."
Anonymous 8:28, I disagree with u. I think Erika wants Steve Price to succeed. Talk about having your work cut out for you. We could issue ten million dollars in bonds to pay for Price's tutors and still wouldn't be able to get him to finish a sentence that made sense. The man needs to resign. If he won't resign, he needs to keep his mouth cut. Every time I see a Price quote in the paper, I cringe at the thought of what people outside of NA must think about us here. If Price is our "best and brightest," they must think we're all a bunch of druggie morans.
My, my somebody has been busy answering himself/herself.

21 posts in 3 hours, even with a few breaks in between, some one has a lot of time on their hands
At least the good professor sure keeps the conversation lively and the blog interesting even if he is the butt of the jokes.
But getting back to the original topic. We need ideas on how to get out city cleaned up and kept that way.
How do other cities do it? Do they have better code enforcement and place heavy fines on people who litter?
Do individuals clean up the city like the neighborhood associations do and hope the rest of the residents have enough pride to keep it that way?
I now the gentleman from Newport Ohio said that civic pride was encouraged along with rigorous code enforcement. How do we get everyone on board with this idea?
Maybe we need to hire someone to dress up as a trash can, (think Smokey the Bear). Only YOU can prevent an ugly trashy city.
I am about out of ideas, HELP!!!!
As for posts @ 5:20, 5:50, 5:30, 5:51, 6:22, 6:42, 6:44, 6:45, 6:45, 7:19, 7:25, 7:29, 7:34, 7:35, 7:37, 7:40, 7:45, 7:50, 8:16,8:28, and 8:32, I know at least three different people made those posts.
Shirley,
This thread clearly illustrates the WHY of the reason we can not get this city cleaned up.
Infortunately it is representative of the level of confrontation found in our city when it comes to issues as simple as this.
The in-fighting begins woth a particular group, or more than likely person, and they drag everyones ideas and energy down.
This spreads to the council, and in the end, all we end up with is more mess, and less community energy to clean it up.
The constant negative attacks on any person or group who tries to do something positive in this city is like a virus, and it destroys the sense of community.
The in-fighting is abetted by anonymity, because anonymity is cowardly, and cowardice is non-contributing when it comes to progress.
It’s impossible to have an honest debate when Prof. Anonymous and others are so quick to use dishonest “facts.” Anonymity encourages irresponsibility. Only you Shirley have the ability to stop it. If someone wants to be an anonymous whistleblower, then he or she always can create their own anonymous blog. No new whistleblower protection is gained here.
Roger,
Understand that previous comment was not directed at you, Hoosier, or anyone who we KNOW who they are.
The anon sect are the ones that no matter what anyone tries to do to improve our community, they start attacking them.
Such is the case with the alleged "checking into" the permits for the Bank Street Brewery.

Kuddos to Freedom of Speech for this information.
After reading todays article: Adaptive cooperation at 411 E. Spring St. on line. Baylor forgot to mention his support is his hope to attract the lunch crowd from the new CC Building, or breakfast crowd for Destinations future coffee shop. Well let's have a reality check boys. Don't bank on the little people or the elected office holders to patronize either place. They all have your numbers and know what you are trying to do. The bottom line with you guys is $$$$ not what is best for downtown.
Okay Anon 1:08pm - I guess that's why practically everyone in the city and county is excited about the Coyle building. Who gives a crap if Baylor or the other guy gets a few customers? This is exactly the kind of crap that keeps New Albany backwards.
Anonymity = cowardice.
The problem with your ejaculation (it can't be called an "argument", can it?) is that there are plenty of reasons to be excited about the possibilities of the Coyle site that have nothing at all to do with a lunch crowd that my business already has. Try responsding to them, and not your adolescent crush on me.
Oh yeah, forgot: Thanks for reading my column!
It makes me feel all warm and gushy.
BTW, when you read, do you have to cut holes in your bag to see?
1:08,
Faulty logic #1. BSB's success was never predicated on a possible government complex on the Coyle property. BSB was planned quite some time ago.
Faulty logic #2. BSB's primary business purpose is as a production facility, not as a restaurant.
Are you the same anonymous person who was also wrong about tax abatement's the other day?
It's nothing more than blind hatred because the B&B doesn't have as much business as BSB. I have been tempted to let the anonymous cat out of the bag.

Are you kidding me? This isn’t England saying that the city needs to pump $10 million into M. Fine. This is a list of projects that IF the feds gave us money, the money could be used for. The only goal of this “wish list” is to show need and thus show that federal dollars should come to New Albany. We’re not talking city money here. We’re not even talking about money that is likely to come our way. This is from when the federal stimulus legislation was first coming about and the state made a cattle call. The state asked for us to come up with everything we could dream up in the odd chance that federal dollars some day come in. Give me a break. FOS, learn to put stuff in context.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH
I guess that shoes FOS is reading. Woudn’t it be nice if FOS took the time to tell us where “Professor Eric” teaches.
The M. Fine thing is the exact same thing we had to fill out and submit at the family health center as far as proposed projects with TARP funds.
Any entity recieving TARP funds has to submit these "wish lists", and the majority are posted publicly.
From there the feds pick and choose how much TARP money to alot each applicant(s) and the the entity has to submit RFP's, use only American Made products, ensure prevailing wages are paid, and have a firm timeline of completion of the project(s). (2 years in most cases).
Follow up reports of how many jobs the TARP money funded and for how long, the economical impacts of the projects have to be followed up on.
I agree, FOS got PART of the story right but presented it out of context.
Kind of like saying yes, Charlie Manson WAS a family man...
FOS lies about his/her professorship.
FOS lies about having proof of England’s corruption.
FOS lies about virtually every program sought by the administration.
FOS lies about everything.
If you can’t trust the site on basic issues such as what gender it is or its name or its occupation, why should we trust it about anything else? FOS is freaking nutcase’s attempt at relevance.
"Get busy, open another bar downtown. That's exactly what downtown has turned into, nothing but a bunch of loser who got a $1,000 liquor or beer license, when I know others who had to pay $20,000-$30,000 for one."
Try to be accurate. They're $1,000 three-way permits for beer, wine and liquor, and they're subject to restrictions that the other permits you mention are not.
Sorry, didn't mean to burden you with your beloved facts.
So far, I see perhaps a half-dozen of these Riverfront Development area 3-ways, which were enabled by the city council's vote when it was populated by a majority of Luddites just like you. I guess you didn't pass them the envelope that week and they strayed from the anti-development fold.
All the other people doing business downtown who don't have a riverfront three-way surely appreciate you referring to them as "losers" -- but wait, I forget that you don't have to take responsibility for statements like this because you're an anonymous coward hiding behind a mask.
So tell me, anonymous -- who's the real loser, someone who takes a risk to start a business and takes advantage of what's offered in the process, or you?
FOS still hasn't told us when England said NA would get $10 million in CDBG.
More "facts" FOS can't prove.
I’m still waiting to see the secret tape of Gonder and England hatching an illegal scheme. So an anonymous poster on here has the time to do building inspections on all New Albany buildings yet won’t report public corruption to the FBI, despite having a video catching them in the act. Someone remind me what part of this I’m supposed to believe.
OK, so when the state asks the city to send every idea possible for TARP funds, what exactly is the city supposed to send them, FOS?
If not M. FINE, what?
The only plan I’ve heard from Price is a Transfer Station (A/K/A city subsidy for Landlords). Is that all you can think of for TARP funds?
I’ve not heard any plan from Coffey. Maybe TARP money for pawn shops? Is that what England was supposed to send out?
The feds were considering giving us money. We’re paying the taxes on TARP whether NA receives a cent.
I’m sure England would have sent up some more stuff if Coffey or Price put forth some ideas. But they have no ideas. They don’t want New Albany every to be any better than it is now unless there’s something in it for them.
I shouldn't be surprised. When Horseshoe offered us $20 million Coffey tried to kill the deal. He doesn't want anyone else to achieve anything. Period.
WHERE DOES "ERIC" TEACH??????
TRASH CANS COST $$$$...
Ok, if FOS is such an expert on city budges, I want to hear from FOS. In FOS's never humble opinion, what should the city budget be? What should the city's portion of tax rates be?
All I read at FOS is that the city spends too much money. I've not once seen FOS support any city function. Does FOS think we should have one police officer and one fireman? Is two city employees two too many? When reading FOS, I get the impression that NOTHING will ever make “Eric” happy short of the city shutting down, turning out the lights, unincorporating, and just be a lawless, wild west frontier or something out of a mad max movie.
Just read this news story.

Chris, she's busy fawning over that woman who works for President Obama, who defeated her in the election.
Where does Erik teach. My mom always said: It's for us to know and for you to find OUT!
Congratulations, we just hit posting one hundred, did you know your fly is open? I didn't think so.

There has been much talk about me. Tell me, what do you want to know?
What does God look like? Where does he live? What kind of clothes does he wear and what kind of car does he drive? Does he teach and where does he teach?
My whole point is: who cares where Erik teaches.
Now she goes and brings theology into it.
My whole point is: who cares where Erik teaches.
No one cares. My whole point is that you claim to be a professor and can't prove a damn thing about that professorship. You write "who cares..." because you can't answer the question except to reply that "Eric" is not a professor and you're not an "Eric."
..nor are you President of a group called C.F.A. Multiple identities don't qualify as a group.
Now I know, you're going to post on here that you joined C.F.A and blah blah blah.
Well, that's spoof, not proof. If you want someone to take C.F.A. seriously, then you need to show us that it's a real organization and not the product of a lone nutcase. Your unverifiable, anonymous claims of empire get you nowhere.

We're waiting. Show us proof that CFA is a PAC.
(I think someone needs to look up "proof" in the dictionary.)
Playing Pac-man and got confused.
me can't speell beause that hoptimus is stroongg...
BUT, me thunk so clear 'bout ...'bout...wait....me think so clear price tax when pac f.b... umm
Damn Prof. Eric, you're starting to make as much sense as Steve Price.
You two charlatans have no tenure here!
You are ruining my credibility, how am I to force the closure of the dens of satan that serve beer and food making downtown successful?
I am the REAL professor and remember A sandwich is just a sandwich, but a Bromwich is an inverse laplace transform.
I AM THE REAL ERIC!
I'm bad because...
...I have no teaching position,
...I have no advanced degrees,
...I have no name, and
...I have no clue.
I don't know who the "good" professor is, but I'm the REAL ERIC!
preposterous!
I am the only real professor...
Or could it be that our dissociative identity disorder is worsening?
YO!
Well, at least this is more entertaining and informative than the usual stuff from the good folks over a CFA
Please stand back as I change Eric's zoloft into a ecologically friendly source of perpetual energy by mixing it with coconut milk and Gingers Perume....
(by the way, I always thought Marianne was way hotter than Ginger, but Marianne was only interested in Mrs. Howell)
Marianne was by far the hottest! Amen!
We've taught over 10 million people, and so far Erik the Half A Bee is the only one to fail the course.
A one... two-- A one... two... three... four...
Half a bee, philosophically,
Must, ipso facto, half not be.
But half the bee has got to be
New Albany, its entity. D'you see?
--M Python
Quit joking around Folks. Can weet back to makingup facts about the New Albany budget?
P.S. I gave Madam Secretary Clinton a nice little health potion. She'll be well and caring out Pres. Obama's orders soon!
“carrying” too….but we all know she really cares.
Too funny, May I suggest to you non-believers Call 812-948-5415 ask if Citizen For Accountability is a PAC.
What's that sound?
I told you so!!!!!!!!!
See you are NOT as smart as you think.
and please let me what the floyd county clerk has to do with PACs.
Interestingly enough, the FEC has no records of any unconnected, or connect PAC's operating under the name of "citizen's for accountability" with any president of the PAC named Denhart.
So either this is more lies and make believe BS, or CFA is in violation of the laws set forth by the FEC.
More interesting is the fact that by even representing the fact that CFA is a PAC, and not filing the required reports is a clear violation of FEC regulations, and strangly FEC.gov has links to report such activity.
No records with the State of Indiana.
Simply put, CFA is an imaginary organization comprised of one or two trouble makers.
I called 812-948-5415 this morning and the lady who answered had no idea what I was talking about.
Any more proof?
Call BR-549 instead.
They'll tell you all about Citizens for Anonybility.
I had also dug through records and searches on federal, state and local websites, ALL I can find that even remotely indicates that there is an official group is references to it in a couple of letters to the editor (two from them, and one from a police officers wife given the denster the smack down)
Blog entries such as this site, and of course freedom to screech.
Of course, we will probably learn that Denizens for Corruptibility is actually an off shoot of the NSA and CIA, and we are placing our lives in danger by even speaking of them!
typo: "current issue" put up or shut up Drake. You are NOTHING but a chicken SH*T wannabe.
No b*lls, NAC [Baylor].com You can talk the talk, but can not walk the walk. What a pu**y you are.
Sorry, I am not a "wannabe" anything. I am what I am, I stand by my opinion and at least i have the b@lls to put my name to my opinions unlike anonymous "chicken" defications like yourself.
Try to get someone else riled up, because its not gonna work here.
First you say it is not a organization. Then you say their is only one member, now you say their is only two? Now you say there is no such registered PAC CFA. Which is it? Let's see whose right or whose wrong and settle this once and for all. Is the anonymous little people right or The New Albanian and Drake correct?
Of course you know that people obsessed with balls, bats and belfries usually have inner doubts about their own virility.
It's just too funny: The anonymous dude wantng to see everyone's balls. You just can't invent stories this hilarious.
Go home and have a dose of irony, then see it they're there yet.
Actually unti you have the courage to put a name to your insulting, cursing posts, and be matuer enough to debate this in an open, honest manner, then I dont have to prove anything to you.
Truth is until you decide to have enough honor to stand up for what you you say, and be proud enough to stand behind what you say, and not hide behind a mask of anonymity, then my friend, there is nothing to debate, or prove to nothing more than an anonymous ghost in a machine.
I wish you well and you have my pity for you lack of honor, courage, and conviction.
Your daddy would be ashamed, you can't admit your wrong, right on spineless and b*ll-less Mr. C. Drake.
That's right stick to your opinions, every a** hole has one.
A real man is one who can admit he's wrong. Your father did.
A "real man" is one who stands behind his name.
Once you begin doing so, we can talk about your old man here in cyberspace.
Would he have approved of your gutless anonymity?
Didn't think so.
See we told you about Baylor, he sits behind a key board, and will never admit he's wrong.
I told you so
I told you so
I told you so
I told you so
I told you so
I told you so
I told you so
I told you so
I told you soooooooooo!
First you say it is not a organization.
There is no legal definition of an “organization.” One or two people can call themselves an organization, who is to stop them? “Citizens for Accountability” is not an entity registered with the Indiana Secretary of State. By law, no entity (such as a corporation, a limited liability company, or a limited partnership) exists until it is registered with the Secretary of State.

Then you say their is only one member, now you say their is only two?
Does having your name attached to the bottom of a letter make you a member? I’ve seen no membership application. I guess I’ll call myself a member. Does that make two or three?
…and, poor grammar.
Now you say there is no such registered PAC CFA.
Other than giving a phone number that turned out to be a dead lead, what proof do you have that it’s a PAC?
Which is it?
Are these questions mutually exclusive? Which what?
Let's see whose right or whose wrong…
Poor syntax
.. and settle this once and for all. Is the anonymous little people right or The New Albanian and Drake correct?
“People” is plural. Might I suggest, “Are the anonymous little people right ….”
See we told you about Baylor, he sits behind a key board, and will never admit he's wrong.
Wrong about what? Please clarify.
I told you so
Baylors a coward
I told you so
he hids behind his keyboard
I told you so
he will never admit he's wrong
I told you so
If he wanted the truth, he would prove us wrong
I told you so
Ladies and Gentlemen of New Albany, the great white hope has finally showed his true color.
Chicken sh*t yellowwwwwwwwww
Dear Hard Working Anonymous Know It All,
If I were a prospective employer, and all I knew about you was what I read from these Anonymous postings, this is what I’d quickly conclude.
- Cannot write. Poor spelling. Poor grammar. Poor syntax.
- Cannot reason. Claims certain things are “proof” when in fact they are not.
- Hateful. Calls police “Terrorist.” Tells downtown business owners you hope their businesses fail.
- Vulgar. There’s no need for the language on here today.
- Paranoid. Do you really think the CIA is investigating NA?
- Multiply Personality Disorder Or are we to think “Eric” is someone else?
No wonder your family makes far less than $30,000 per year. No business owner would want this in their office. You need medical attention. Learn to get along with other people.
It isn't whether this or that organization "exists", seeing as two thousand years of theology still can't prove the existence of god or gods.
The only coherent thing written all day by "anonymous" is that opinions are like you know what, and we all have them. True enough, and even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
My opinion is that whether real or imagined, Citizens for Anonybility is utterly irrelevant. It doesn't matter at all. The only thing that matters is whether those who want to believe in its existence can build rather than destroy, and in that sense, it's worth wasting a few minutes to debate.
Otherwise, face it. You're losing your jihad against modernity, and you'll continue to lose.
Have you considered emigrating to Birdseye? I understand the right Rev. Jim "Dan Coffey" Jones is planning a way hip retirement community there, complete with kippers and Kool-Aid.
Wrong about what?
CFA is not an a real organization and CFA doesn't have members.
Where's their office?
Where's their PAC registration?
Where's their staff?
Where's their website?
How do I join?
What have they ever accomplished?
When has anything "they" have ever said made sense?
I told you so
I told you so
I told you so
I told you so
I told you so
I told you so
I told you so
I told you so
Remember “C.F.A.’s” standard of “proof.” I’m sure she’s convinced she’s made some sort of point here. I cannot discern what it is though. I’m still waiting on proof that England is corrupt and/or being investigated by the FBI. I’m still waiting on proof that “Eric” is a professor. I’m still waiting on proof on a lot of things. A whole lot of things.
So how about that “CFA” letter in the Tribune yesterday?
Is the author another alias of Ms. Vicki (like “Eric”) or did Vicki type up a letter and take it to her neighbor or friend to sign?
I think Ms Martin is real. She was at a Council work session with Erika a while back. Mr. Coffey would call this lady "Virginia".
Hard to tell, what with being anonymous and all, but I think she may have been the one who was "discussing" abatement's with me on this blog a couple of weeks ago. She didn't know what she was talking about then, either.
"discussing" as in stating that abatements forgo tax income on the land. hahaha. remember that one well.
