Rob Waiz Biography

Rob Waiz is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on January 30, 1963 in Louisville, Kentucky, United States. Robert L. Waiz, Jr. was born January 30, 1963, in Louisville, Kentucky, to Bob Waiz and Barbara Waiz. His sister and he were raised in Jeffersonville. Waiz graduated from Our Lady of Providence High School in Clarksville, Indiana in 1981 and Indiana University Southeast with a Bachelors of Business Management in 1986. He is married to Susan and has two children, Lena (and Robert). Waiz declared that he would seek the mayor’s post again in 2011 on January 11. He will challenge Tom Galligan, the current mayor of Clark County, for the Democratic Party nomination in May’s primary.

The city council adopted a smoking ban on November 21st 2005. Waiz signed the ordinance into law shortly thereafter. This made Jeffersonville, Indiana the first city in the Southern Indiana Louisville Metro Area to adopt such an ordinance.

After losing the primary in May 2007, Waiz had a very active end to his term. Waiz issued several vetoes of the city council for salary wages and a planned annexation. The council overturned the mayor’s vetoes. The annex was overturned on August 20, 2007 and the salary wages were overturned on December 21, 2007. Waiz opposed both measures saying they were too costly.

Waiz signed an ethics law which would be enforced by a commission of members from an unbiased political stance in 2006. This created the Jeffersonville Ethics Commission. During Waiz’s 2007 campaign he asked for the removal of the Ethics Commission’s attorney Larry Wilder on April 10, 2007. Waiz claimed that Wilder secretly supported the Galligan campaign because his wife, Peggy, had a mass postage address that she lets anyone use. Waiz was answered the next day with Wilder stands by the Ethics Commission. Wilder used to be the a city assistant attorney in the Waiz administration until a public falling-out in January 2006 in which Wilder resigned. Wilder now works as an attorney for the Galligan administration.

Waiz was elected to office and presided at his first council meeting, January 5, 2004. A fire destroyed a block of historic district in the city on January 11, 2004. Waiz worked closely with the businesses and the city council to discuss the incident with Joe Kernan, who was then the governor, in order to restore the area.

Robert L. Waiz, Jr was born January 30, 1963. He is a Jeffersonville, Indiana politician. He is a real estate agent and was a member of the city council. Waiz is a Democrat who was elected as mayor for the first time in 2003. He defeated Tom Galligan, a two-term incumbent, in the May Democratic primaries and then defeated Monty Snelling, a Republican, in the November general elections. He lost the Democrat primaries against Galligan on May 8, 2007. He won the general election in November 2007. Rob Waiz was elected the youngest mayor in the city’s recent history.

Rob Waiz was a councilman for one year. During that time, he served as vice- president as well as president of the council. Waiz made further political progress in 2003 when he filed for the mayor’s race against Tom Galligan (a two-term incumbent). Galligan was defeated by Waiz in a four-way primary election. Waiz won general election and was elected mayor.

On December 1, 2006, Waiz campaigned to abolish the City Court to save taxpayers money. This was brought up because City Judge Vicki Carmichael was elected to the Clark County Superior Court bench and was set to take office on January 1, 2007. Rather than continue the court system, Waiz wanted to abolish the court like many other cities have done previously in Indiana in an effort to reduce costs. His campaign didn’t succeed. Also during 2006 Waiz helped negotiate a $5 million offer to help aid the Jeffersonville Town Center commercial center development by Vision Land Development, which has been in the works since 2002. The $5 million became $7 million in January 2007 with additional funds from the city’s TIF district. This was a major issue in Waiz’s reelection campaign. Galligan criticized the Waiz administration for failing to move the project forward while Galligan promised to develop the project. No stores have opened in the Town Center as of 2010.
