Gary Meyer Quotations

We knew we weren't as bad as we looked against Hammond on Feb. 15. I was real pleased at the way we responded.

What went on at Abu Ghraib was a complete breakdown of discipline and authority, and these are merely specific acts within a sea of a multitude of specific acts,

We declared it an emergency, because we can't pay it back by the end of the year. So we have six months past the beginning of the year to pay it back. We'll pay it back by March, probably, but we do have until June.

We just haven't shot the ball well or handled it well. At the high school level, that's usually a recipe for disaster.

He's averaging about two points a game, but he can make that shot. He got on a major roll and easily played his best game. We're not a perimeter-oriented team. Heck, we probably made more 3s tonight (seven) than we have all season.

I thought the purchasing manager was a part of that give and take deal. Now, we've got another thing we've got to give and take on to get a commissioner's vote. It's not just one item now; it's two or three that he wants.

Partway through the process, we threw up a flare and said, 'We think we've made a mistake. We think we should design for 400 watts per square foot.' And we were basically laughed out of the room,

I was in favor of the two percent, too, but I am not going to vote against the $400. But I do think that the way we did the budget, the way we did the financing, we could afford the two percent.

That's been our Achilles' heel all year and it did us in tonight. One of the first things written on the blackboard was limiting turnovers. We obviously didn't do that.

The only reason we are talking about this (wheel tax) is to get a vote (for the EMS budget), and I have a real problem with that. The feeling I'm getting here tonight is that I'm buying (Williams') vote so that he'll get the Capital Improvement Plan in gear for 2005.

We play very good defense and we're a very good rebounding team. Those are our redeeming qualities.

Putting the fiber in gives us the ability to go to 1 Gigabit or greater to the desktop.

And I think after today we will no longer hear that it was just seven rogue soldiers.

The commissioners wanted a guarantee, and I can understand that. This will be a one-year fix. Hopefully, it will help us dig ourselves out of the hole we are in.

The letter offended me personally, not as a council member, but as a citizen of Warrick County. I interpreted the letter to mean that the more a deputy would make, the better they would protect the citizens of the county.

The last piece of the puzzle is for the auditor and the assessor to send the letter to the state for the elimination of the reassessment levy for next year.
