GCCC School Referendum - Referendum to update Greater Clark schools, voters
City Council Dist. 2 - Ed "Moe" Zastawny (R) unopposed in Dist,2 ...BatBlog recommends don't vote...
City Council Dist. 3 - Current county councilman Kevin Vissing (D) faces newcomer Callie Jahn (R). This could be a close race but K.V. is the obvious, smart choice for voters, Jahn
City Council Dist. 4 - Scottie Maples (R) a member of the Clark Co, sheriff's dept. faces Dem. Albert Frazier. The BatBlog doesn't like double dippers so the choice is Frazier, but look for Maples to win. Maples has the name recognition so important in local politics.
City Council Dist. 5 - Incumbent (R) Lisa Gill faces Keith "Crapper Flapper" Fetz, This could be another close race, Fetz has name recognition from an earlier stint on the council and a following among voters. Gill is one of the Obstructionist 5 who opposes the mayor on everything. The BatBlog can't recommend either candidate but gives a slight, edge to Gill, but wouldn't be surprised if Fetz wins.
City Council Dist. 6 - The BatBlog doesn't know a lot about the Dist. 6 candidates where newcomers Scott Hawkins (R) takes on Teri Hicks (R). Based on the results from the BatPoll we think Hawkins will win big over Hicks.
City Council (At Large) - Six candidates three from each party face off in the council at large seats. The BatBlog feels Ron Ellis (D), Nathan Samuel (D) and Steve Webb (R) are the smart choices for Jeffersonville voters. The BatBlog feels strongly that Matt "Lapdog" Owen needs to Go. Poor attendance record, unwise decisions and being the "Lapdog" to Jamey Noel make Owen a poor option, but on name recognition alone he has a legitimate shot at reelection. This could be a close race with everyone but Cooley in the hunt for the seats....but the BatBlog sticks with it's choices Ellis , Samuel and Webb....
Mayor - The BatBlog endorsed Mike Moore in yesterday's post CLICK HERE but as we go to press this race is too close too call...Moore deserves another term ,but issues with the city council and other personal actions make this race a toss up...Julius has shown no leadership qualities but there will be a lot of just anti- Moore votes. The winner will be who can best get their supporters to the Polls...Prediction 52% - 48% Moore....but it could easily be the other way with Julius winning....
Be Sure To Vote !!!
Four Reasons Julius could win:
ReplyDelete1. Support isn't as strong for candidates on their second term, supporters become somewhat blase'...
2. Moore's issues with city council seem petty and personal and at times been unprofessional no matter who is at fault.
3. Moore comes off as arrogant at times and gives the impression of look what I have done.
4. Choosing for Waiz as redevelopment director, a lot of people don't like Waiz and think he is in the background pulling strings...
I think your analysis is dead on. I think Rodriguez could slip in there. JULIUS might surprise everyone. He has worked hard. Grass roots vs incumbent with lots of cash.
ReplyDeleteOh. I knocked on 1500 doors. Mostly in the last 30 days.
ReplyDeleteIf Moore gets crap for letting Waiz pull the strings, what about Galligan pulling Julius'?
ReplyDeleteGood Luck Kevin to you and all the other candidates... your hard work, experience and the fact of Jahn's inexperience and lack of showing up in our neighborhood has earned you my vote as well as Mrs. HT's....
ReplyDeleteOh I agree totally Anon. that's another reason I won't vote for Julius. Galligan is trying to manipulate Julius in, make no doubt. As well he didn't come up with a candidate to run against Ed "Moe" Z. I also question if he's behind the independent candidate in Dist.1.
ReplyDeleteIt's past time for Galligan to go he's in the background trying to manipulate the whole election....Hopefully voters will see this and vote accordingly...
Is President Obama that tall?
ReplyDeleteNo, I am 5'5"! LOL
