THIRD DISTRICT DESERVES BETTER
Steve Price to my knowledge has never voted in support on anything that would improve the city of New Albany.
...Now he is in the midst of a losing battle in his attempt to disband the Historic Preservation Commission. He has nearly zero support from his colleagues or constituents yet in his mind he is standing up for the little people...
From what I can tell Mr. Price comes to city council meetings very unprepared and with a closed mind.
...Mr. Price, in his attempt to pass his ordinance to disband the Historic Preservation Commission shows his complete lack of knowledge of what they do and how they do it....
He claims to be standing up for the little guy when he should represent the best interest of the third district and New Albany. One of those little people that he was standing up for admittedly did not know he lived in a historic district, started the work without the proper Certificate of Appropriateness, and completed the work after he was told not to.
...One of Mr. Craig’s arguments was that his house is old, not historic and should not be subject to the regulations governing historic districts. Other speakers at the city council meeting tried to explain that the historic districts were set up to preserve the historical significance of the entire area...
A couple of speakers even pointed out that ignorance of the law is no defense when you don't follow it.
Mr. Price has proven during his time on the New Albany City Council that he flat out doesn't get it.
... he refuses to try to understand what they do or what they stand for. It is this closed mindedness that is not needed on this council and hopefully be rectified with next year’s election. The third district deserves someone that is willing to take the time to understand what will make New Albany great now, and in the future...
