With Tuesday's tight, party-splitting vote in favor of sending a controversial $27.6 million Goshen Community Center project to a special referendum this spring now behind them, Goshen City Council members Wednesday took some time to reflect on the night's events and why they chose to vote the way they did.
After sitting through nearly three hours of impassioned comments both for and against the proposed referendum, council members Tuesday voted 4-3 to allow the referendum to proceed. One vote the other way would have ended the project.
Council members voting in favor of sending the project to a referendum were Democrats Julia Gautsche, Jeremy Stutsman, Everett Thomas and Republican newcomer Brett Weddell. Voting in opposition were Republicans Edward Ahlersmeyer, Jim McKee and Dixie Robinson.
Weddell's vote came as a surprise to many who anticipated he would stick to party lines. Weddell was appointed to the board this month via Republican caucus as a replacement for outgoing member Tom Stump who vacated his position as councilman and City Council president when he assumed his role as a member of the Elkhart County Council Jan. 1.
Weddell said he simply voted with his conscience.
"My vote wasn't so much supporting the community center, but it was supporting the democratic process, and if I didn't believe in that democratic process, I don't think I should be up there," Weddell said. "It was a tough vote. It was only my second meeting and it was a pretty big issue right out of the gate."
Weddell's reasoning was consistent with Council Democrats who also said the community deserves a voice in this project.
"It was a very difficult decision for me, because the project as it stands I don't support," said Councilman Jeremy Stutsman of his vote. "But I heard from a lot of people, through emails, phone calls and voices on the street, who wanted this to go to a referendum. ... Even people who don't want the project seemed to want a referendum, so it was both sides that were asking for that."
Stutsman said he is very concerned with the project's $27.6 million price tag and hopes that figure can be reduced by the Goshen Community Center Committee.
"If that number is not dropped dramatically," Stutsman said, "I just don't see how I can support this, knowing how this is going to negatively affect the taxes of the people that have contacted me."
Councilman Everett Thomas also feels the community wanted a referendum, indicating that nine out of ever 10 people he communicated with favored a vote in May. And he doesn't think the Council is shirking its responsibilities.
"I disagree with people who feel we're not doing our duty if we don't block a referendum, because the state set up the process for exactly a situation like this," Thomas said. "I think it's a lot better process than the old one where you would have dueling petitions (a remonstrance), and whoever got the most signatures would win."
Councilwoman Dixie Robinson, one of Tuesday's three "no" votes, said she is disappointed to see the referendum move forward and remains strongly opposed to the community center.
"I understand that people want to have a say, but I think a lot of people don't realize what's going on," Robinson said. "What they're planning with the center will be in direct competition for people already in town. "Those people paid for those businesses and are still paying for those businesses. We've been trying for years to get people to come in and invest in our community. We've already got six fitness centers in Goshen. We don't need any more. So I'm very disappointed."
Robinson also said she fears the taxes that will need to be raised in order to pay for the new center will hurt the city's ability to attract new businesses in the future.
"For at least the past three years or so, we've been using these tax abatements or phase-ins and giving hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings to these companies to come here or stay and enlarge their businesses," Robinson said. "Now, after giving all these tax phase-ins, now we're going to raise their taxes, so it doesn't make sense to me."
Looking forward to the upcoming referendum, Thomas said he anticipates much discussion and debate. He said he encourages the public to get informed about the particulars of the project and what it will mean to them should it be approved by the voters this May.
"I think the next few months will be a time when opponents will mobilize to convince voters to vote no, and proponents will mobilize to encourage voters to vote yes," Thomas said. "It's a pure democratic process. I'm looking forward to what happens in the next couple of months and I think it's going to be a good exercise for our community."

State House News Service
---- — BOSTON — When he addresses the state tonight, Gov. Deval Patrick will outline an ambitious and likely controversial plan to raise as much as $1.57 billion in new revenue next year.
During a visit to a school in Roxbury yesterday, Patrick called for a $550 million investment in education in fiscal 2014 that would ramp up to $1 billion in new spending by 2017.
The plan calls for the state to deliver on its promise of universal access to early education by eliminating wait lists for infants, toddlers and pre-schoolers, and making Chapter 70 funding available for the first time to districts for pre-school for four-year-olds.
The governor also called for more expanded learning time, a $226 million increase in Chapter 70 education aid in his fiscal 2014 budget, and a $152 million increase in funding for community colleges, the University of Massachusetts, and college student grants.
"Investing in our children at a young age pays huge dividends for them and for our community as a whole. To those who say we cannot afford that, I challenge you to show me which one of these four-year-olds we should leave behind," Patrick said, raising voice in the school auditorium as he delivered a message to the would-be detractors of his revenue push.
The governor's plans for education, which span early childhood education to college, arrived a day after Patrick made his pitch for $1.02 billion in new revenue to pay for the maintenance and expansion of the state's highways, bridges and public transit systems.
"The money's going to come from new revenue. We're going to put our proposal forward in the State of the Commonwealth and we're going to make the case for investing in our growth and in our own future. It's a proven strategy. It has gotten us a long way over the last couple years. We can go a lot further," Patrick told reporters yesterday.
Patrick declined to elaborate on his revenue proposal, only acknowledging that "revenue" means tax and fee increases to pay for programs he believes will "accelerate" economic growth. "We got to stop being afraid of that conversation and start talking about the choices that we have to make in order to ensure that we are building a stronger future," Patrick said.
Meanwhile, unsatisfied by the prospect of a $1 billion transportation investment and buoyed by the idea that legislative leaders are open to new revenue proposals, Democratic lawmakers and liberal activists are leading a new push to raise $2 billion through increases in the state's income tax.
The proposal would increase the income tax from 5.25 percent to 5.95 percent, and increase capital gains and other investment taxes from 5.25 percent to 8.95 percent, according to campaign co-chairman Harris Gruman, who is executive director of the SEIU Massachusetts State Council. Middle-income seniors would keep the 5.25 percent rate for investment income, and anyone who has a median income or below would receive new deductions to keep their rate the same, according to the campaign organizers.
"The subject of tax is always a sensitive one. I think it's important to point out that An Act to Invest doubles the personal exemption so it reduces the burden on middle-income families. I think that's an important part of this proposal," Sen. Jamie Eldridge, D-Acton, told the News Service. "I would just say as far as the people's reaction, I just finished up town hall meetings throughout my district, and the priorities were investing in local aid, transportation, health care and the environment."
Eldridge said that because House Speaker Robert DeLeo and Senate President Therese Murray have said they are "open" to new revenue proposals, "I think this is the session to consider that."

Read carefully folks, McKay's awful contract structuring is clear as day.........http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htmVICK TRADE COULD BE PULLED OFF, AFTER JUNE 1Although we saw images of an apparently contrite Michael Vick apologizing for the images of an obscene gesture he aimed in the direction of paying customers and their kids on Sunday at the Georgia Dome, the broader question remains, as we see it, whether Vick's time in Atlanta is drawing to a close.We predicted, even before Vick's meltdown, that he'll ask to be traded after the 2006 season. But the prevailing sentiment in league circles is that the Falcons would be unable to trade or release Vick, due to the salary cap ramifications arising from the big-money signing bonus he received a couple of years ago.We've gotten our eyes on his numbers, and the prevailing sentiment is accurate. To a point.Trading Vick before June 1, 2007 would trigger a mind-numbing cap charge of $22.25 million. The dead money, factoring in the $6 million salary Vick wouldn't be paid in 2007, would be $15.75 million.However, if the Falcons were to make the move after June 1, the cap charge for 2007 would drop to $7.57 million, with a net hit of $1.57 million. The transaction would actually create $6 million in 2007 cap space.The problem would arise in 2008, when the Falcons would be hit with $14.68 million in cap charges. The dead money, based on a Vick's salary of $7.5 million, would be $7.18 million.Still, if the salary cap gets to $115 million by 2008, the dead money would be roughly six percent of the team's available player payroll for the season. And by 2009, he'd be completely off of the books.So if Vick wants out, and if the team is willing to let him out, a trade would be feasible after June 1. (Greg Aiello, NFL spokesman, tells us that, although the new CBA allows the cap hit for a trade made after June 1 to be spread over two years, the rule that allows teams to release up to two players before June 1 and process the move as a post-June 1 transaction does not apply to trades.)Of course, the bigger question would be whether anyone else would willing to take on Vick's contract, which has salaries of $6 million in 2007, $7.5 million in 2008, $9 million in 2009, $10.5 million in 2010, $12 million in 2011, $12.5 million in 2012, and $13.5 million in 2013.Our guess? There's a certain team that wears silver and black with an owner who has always loved renegade players (especially really fast ones). How about Randy Moss and a third-round pick for Vick? Moss has said wanted to come to Atlanta in 2005, and we believe that the team wasn't interest in Moss primarily because they weren't interested in creating a scenario in which, with a high-end receiver, Vick would have been further exposed as an underperforming passer.With Matt Schaub elevating into the position of starter, Moss is the kind of guy that the Falcons would want on the field, especially in a West Coast attack that thrives off of a field-stretcher who can open up the underneath routes.And from a P.R. standpoint, the Falcons would be swapping out one NFL icon for another. So the seats in the Georgia Dome would still be filled, at least for 2007.Like many other things, this one makes far too much sense to ever happen. Interesting keeponbucn. Paragraph below I found to be interesting. Reminds me of distant times with the Bucs.
We want Vick to leave Atlanta? He's just now starting to get good at passing, but now his age will start to catch up with him!
Mora is far more expendable than Vick. You'll see a new coach or at a minimum a new OC before they try to move Vick.
Vick is Blanks love child and Mora is his red haired step child. Who do you think will be gone? It will be interesting to see who McKay brings in as his next yes man as coach. It will also be interesting to see if Blank plays a bigger role in the hiring and pisses McKay off like what happened in Tampa. I bet they bring in Tedford from Cal, he is known for being a QB guru.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, recently, found methamphetamine in a bag –– from Mexico City, Mexico –– at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, according to the agency's public affairs liaison.
Tamara Mathews said officers seized 16.28 kilos of the drug.
Mathews said an X-ray of baggage allowed the officers to discover the 16 bricks covered in shrink wrap, that contained methamphetamine.
Further inspection of the bricks found a "crystal-like" substance, which tested positive for the drug.
"While the bag was tagged to two in-flight passengers, further investigation revealed that the consignment was part of an internal conspiracy, using the bag tags as part of the concealment method," the CBP spokesperson said.
Mathews said this is the second time, in Atlanta, in which unaccompanied bags from a Mexico City flight led to the discovery of narcotics. In an Immigration and Customs Enforcement-led operation on Feb. 19, 2011, CBP officers uncovered 21 kilos of cocaine inside a suitcase from Mexico City, she said.
The cocaine was covered in a yellow, wrapping material and immersed in perfume, she said.
Mathews said it is believed that, in both instances, the presence of officers deterred internal conspirators from retrieving the load.

Hedgerows and the Law
Hedgerows in Ireland form important features in maintaining wildlife diversity and in establishing wildlife "corridors", particularly for birds. The commonest nesting birds found in hedgerows such as wrens, dunnocks, robin and willow warblers depend entirely on insects during the Summer months. In general untrimmed, thorned hedgerows containing species such as blackthorn, whitethorn and holly are favoured by birds as they provide ample food and also serve as a protection against predators.
Section 40 of the Wildlife Act, 1976, as amended by Section 46 of the 2000 Act, provides protection for hedgerows by providing that it shall be an offence for a person to cut, grub, burn or otherwise destroy hedgerows on uncultivated land during the nesting season from 1 March to 31 August, subject to certain exceptions. It is important that, where possible, necessary work to hedgerows is carried out outside this period.
It is possible in most cases to schedule and carry out necessary work to hedgerows outside this period. The legislation makes provision for works (other than road or other construction works) to be carried out for reasons of public health and safety under the authority of any Minister or a body established by statute that lead to the destruction of vegetation. There is also a provision to enable the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government to request from the relevant Minister or body details of any such works together with a statement of the public health and safety factors involved.
It shall not be an offence to destroy vegetation in the ordinary course of agriculture or forestry. Also it shall not be illegal to destroy vegetation while preparing or clearing a site for lawful building or construction works.
It is the policy of the Minister to prosecute for offences under section 40 of the Wildlife Acts 1976 and 2000 and successful prosecutions have been taken under this section in recent years. Members of the public are encouraged to contact their local wildlife ranger and report instances where hedgerows are being destroyed during the prohibited period.
