As far as progress and fresh ideas the BatBlog has been generally been pleased with Jeffersonville Mike Moore's 1st term. On the same behalf Moore has shown at times that he can be a first class jerk and merely another typical politician. With both these factors in mind the BatBlog presents the "Top 10 Reasons" for either voting or not voting for Mike Moore for Mayor....
10. Moore's decision to rescind the permit of the Mac Construction's asphalt plant is a good reason to vote FOR Moore. While it may be a mere political move, it was the right thing to do for the residents near the plant....
9. Moore's flip flopping from the Democratic to Republican Party is a reason NOT to vote for Moore. This still doesn't sit well with members of both parties ...this is part of the "typical" politician in him.
8. Another reason FOR Moore is the revitalization of the downtown area, while a lot of this was due to the Big Four Bridge he get's the credit for being in the right place at the right time....and the bridge landing was well done .....
7. The continual bickering between Moore and the City council that at times became personal is a another reason for NO to Moore. He has shown himself as a jerk with alleged personal texts and comments about council members instead of taking the high road and just moving on when the obviously combative council plays politics instead of progress...
6. A FOR is that Moore can be a personable, well spoken representative of the city of Jeffersonville unlike his opponent Julius he has a personality. This is a strong attribute if used wisely and sincerely....
5. On the flip side the NO Moore appears to sometimes forget the people who elected him. His warmness and interest of individual citizens seemed to diminish once he was elected. Once the campaign season gets in full swing shortly, the charm toward and concern of individual voters will surely return...typical politician...
4. The proposed improvement of the riverfront and the proposed development of the Hwy. 62 entry corridor (that was derailed by Not honest Mike's lawsuit) are both attractive and good ideas that will enhance the City if completed as planned. Good reasons to vote FOR Moore.....
3. Moore needs to be careful about making sure the continued development isn't haphazard and the influx of new with the older theme of downtown needs to be done so it blends together. Also Moore's indifference toward the downtown homeless and his failing to get the EPA sewer consent decree done is a reason NOT to vote for Moore.
2. Moore's continued opposition to the "Canal project" is a good reason to vote FOR Moore. The whole idea behind and the money already thrown away on Galligan's Folly (canal) has been nothing more than a cluster F_ _ _ . Big ideas + small minds = Disaster.
1. The number one and top reason to vote FOR Moore is the two "Village Idiots" NHBSM (Not Honest Mike) and Wilder are against him and reportedly support Julius. If these two idiot's are against Moore then he must be good for the City and the future....If you have to remember Hutt told us all that Moore was the second coming and how great he was before Moore fired his fat ass....So unless another potentially serious candidate arises ; on the mere fact that Hutt opposes Moore ...I suggest we vote FOR Mike Moore For Mayor of Jeffersonville...
The small brains are the people who derailed the canal project.
ReplyDeleteDowntown would have had a thriving entertainment district. Do you know how many people stay in downtown Jeff for events and concerts that happen at the Yum Center? A lot. And afterwards they could have been spending their money here. Thus infusing the city with greater tax income and relieving the burden on the citizens.
ReplyDeleteBut the small minds of people who wanted to disregard those incentives in favor of a few dollars now are what continue to hold this city back.
Agreed with the BS comment....the voters wisely voted "NO" to the Canal when they put Galligan to the curb in 2011 ...Anon 1 is one of those die hard Galligan groupies crying in his beer still to this day...
ReplyDeleteIf you notice Julius won't even speak the word "canal" he knows it's political suicide...It was a stupid idea by stupid people...
HT is just butt hurt over eminent domain and lives in Oak Park. Excuse me if I think my hours of economic classes and years of real world big business give me a clear and unbiased view of the canal project.
DeleteBut please tell me more about your great pipe in the ground.
Wrong again DumbAss I don't live in Oak Park...and if your business and economic classes say the canal was a good idea then you're dumber than a rock for buying it.... especially a canal full of sewer water
ReplyDeleteThe canal is a dead issue it's time to move on IMO.
ReplyDeleteThe EPA Consent Decree projects being done by the City of Jeffersonville are to be completed by 2025. The intercepter line, or big pipe, will be built with or without a canal. Those are the facts if you care to research.
ReplyDeleteAccording to some, businesses are lining up to build on an EPA superfund site. I hear they love federal restrictions and oversight.
ReplyDeleteYou would think Moore would be the favorite with the growth in Jeff.
ReplyDeleteGrowth he had nothing to do with.
DeleteDumbass. If people linger in Jeff after Yum! events already, there is no need to spend bank luring them there. We are becoming labeled a foodie and beer destination without the sewer ditch.
ReplyDelete"Excuse me if I think my hours of economic classes and years of real world big business give me a clear and unbiased view of the canal project."
ReplyDeleteNo ... excuse us for not recognizing your fk'ng genius. LOL
