IS THIS THE REAL STORY, AFTER ALL? ARE THE FACTS RIGHT ON THIS ONE, THIS TIME?

This time, I think I may have all the facts in order about the redistricting issue facing Council and citizens.

On Friday, on the 2nd Floor of the Federal Building, with the Judge being from Evansville, the following Council members were called in by Mr. Ulrich (their Attorney). The Council members called in were Mr. Gahan, Mr. Kochert and Mr. Zurschmeide.

Mr. Ulrich received a message from a Clerk of the Court, from Mr. Baylor, asking Mr. Beardsley to telephone him asap. Mr. Ulrich responded he was not that party's attorney (Mr. Beardsley).

The outcome is the litigants must come up with the parameters they have in mind by next Friday.

Now, this brings us back to the issues I raised in the other posting, which is, i.e., is Mr. Ulrich being paid extra for this work? Will Mr. Beardsley go easy on us as citizens if we have to pay his legal fees?

If they are redistricted, it can't possibly happen until after the election, right? It would seem we could not have two people running against each other in the fall; and btw, would that give the Democrats a caucus meeting so we can put Mr. Schmidt back in?

It will be published in the paper soon, I'm sure of it. Next Friday is the deadline, and anyone wishing to research it can search Federal records for a copy of the suit.

Thanks for letting me set the record straight.

Peace, NA.

WHAT IS IT -- SOMETHING NO ONE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT?

The curiosity has awakened in me...what's this about the redistricting of the City of New Albany actually being underway downtown, in a Court of Law? As I am aware Mr. Ulrich attended, along with Mr. Coffey, Mr. Gahan, Mr. Kochert and evidently I am entirely wrong about all of this, especially Mr. Baylor. Please accept my public apologies. Thank you for setting the record straight, Mr. Baylor. I do appreciate it. Mr. Baylor's comments have been published.

As he asked, I will remove the rest of this posting.

It would be an interesting, and awkward, position for some if it was true. Maybe Mr. Schmidtt would get his seat back because Mr. Ceasar would be running against Mr. Coffey for the same district, blah, blah, blah.

Peace, NA.
