The BatBlog in an attempt to put a positive spin on things as we head into the Christmas season and New Year announce the 1st annual Hoosiertaxpayer  Dick Jones Award. To be voted on by the public in a new BatPoll.

We will give you a list of some of our favorites and if you like send us a name of someone we may have overlooked. We will limit it to current  office holders in the local area (Jeffersonville and Clark Co) and the award will be named after Dick Jones a truly great public servant and nice man who recently retired after many years of local public service....Be Sure To Vote.....
