Congratulations to former Jeffersonville mayor and now Clark Co. Airport Authority president Tom Galligan for being the BatBlog's "Asshole of the Month." Galligan in his own special way disparaged local engineering firm Jacobi, Toombs and Lantz in a meeting of airport authority members. Threatening to quit his position (like a 3 year old) if the firm continued to do engineering work for the airport authority. Once again in his bull in a china shop way Galligam has made an ass of himself.The firm of Jacobi, Toombs and Lantz has an excellent reputation in doing engineering work for the last 30 odd years here locally, having done many fine projects for local government. It appears "Crybaby Tom" didn't get his way and threw one of his infamous tantrums and vented out on the local firm and in the process disparaged a local business and workers with a well respected reputation.
We get it Tom your are my way or the highway jerk, but how about manning up and if you have a problem with someone's work , speak to them privately and maybe the problem can be resolved in a manly fashion. Instead as always you took the coward's route and publicly tried to ruin their good name.... The thing is people see through your bullying tactics and have no respect for you are your opinions....The Clark Co. Airport will be nothing more than what it is a rinky dink, unprofessional operation with you at the helm. When you threatened to walk out the other members's showed how spineless they are...the should have told you good bye and don't let the door hit you in the ass...Instead they cowered to your childish demands.
You did manage to join your cohort NHBSM as a chartered member of the BatBlog's "Asshole of the Month" club once again Congratulations !!!
Apparently not all on the board wanted to ditch JTL but Galligan's tantrum of quitting forced them to bend to the tyrant.
ReplyDeleteShould have called his bluff! You know he wouldn't quit. His ego wouldn't allow it.
Here's the list of the others on the board, and emails for those inclined!

Annexed cry baby calling someone else a crybaby. Oh that is rich.
ReplyDeleteMy god the board must be desperate to appoint Galligan to anything, he is everything that is wrong about leadership.
ReplyDeleteNo chance of the airport moving forward with Galligan on board, he manages to piss off every body he has dealings with. He's a bully and full of hot air.
ReplyDeleteThere are reasons to be concerned with the work JTL has done for local governments. There is rarely a good reason to threaten to take your ball and go home when you don't get your way. Tom Galligan is old enough to have learned to control his emotions by now. Total embarrassment. Those who appointed him to the board should have known better.
ReplyDeleteClark County has far too many "has beens" in positions of authority. TG needs to ride off in the sunset.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link Anon...
ReplyDeleteHere is the list of the airport board and e-mail addresses, I encourage everyone to e-mail them and express your thoughts to remove Galligan...he's a buffoon who hurts the credibility of the whole organization...

I agree with the other anonymous how do these old "has beens" keep getting these plum positions. it isn't what the taxpayers and citizens want.
ReplyDeleteWho appointed Galligan? The commissioners?
ReplyDeleteIn Clark County The Democrats have had a stronghold on power for seemingly forever. It has become totally corrupt. Doesn't matter what party is in power; total power corrupts. Doesn't matter if it's the democrats, republicans, independents, Tories or Whigs...... Needs to be a purge every so often. Federal, state and local. We need new blood, new day in Clark Co.
ReplyDeleteYes the commissioners appointed Galligan. If I recall correctly, it was supposed to be a temporary appointment in order to get the board to sue Jack Vissing. Vissing and Galligan are enemies and we can assume the Galligan appointment was because they wanted his strong personality to get the job done.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the current commissioners renewed his appointment because they don't have the backbones to make the waves that removing him would surely cause.
Wake up people. If you didn't realize it before, you can't escape the truth now. It is time to retire Tom Galligan from public positions. Give him a nice banquet and a plaque, and kiss his ass goodbye. If that's what it takes to get him to retire to a private life of threatening lawn boys and restaurant wait persons, so be it.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have Gilligan run my paper route let alone an airport.
