WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE
We apologize that our site crashed yesterday because of unprecedented reader traffic.  Because of that problem we have decided to republish all the feature articles that were posted in yesterday’s City-County Observer.
IS IT TRUE  that we highly recommend that you read the article written by Joe Wallace the former City-County Observer Editor and past CEO of GAGE in today’s CCO?  …that Mr. Wallace is starting a not-for-profit Journalism Foundation in order to keep a Gannett’s owned publication Opinion page from fading in the darkness?
IS IT TRUE that the EVSC Superintendent of Schools, Dr. David Smith is urging his school board members to approve a multi-million dollar temporary loan in order to pay for the current operations costs of the Vanderburgh School system?
IS IT TRUE that it’s our understanding that the interest rate for the temporary loan is around 1.5%?  …If the members of the EVSC school board sign this temporary loan agreement it could obligate the EVSC to pay up to a 4.5% percent interest penalty if they don’t meet the original terms of the loan contract?
IS IT TRUE we wonder what is the total amount of money does the EVSC needs to borrow in order to cover current operations costs for this year?  …reliable sources tell us that the loan amount could be many millions of dollars? …it was also stated by a reliable source that the school board has been passing a temporary loan resolution since 2018?
IS IT TRUE the Vanderburgh County Commissioners recently voted to continue to proceed with BroadBand in the county?… if this comes to fruition, Vanderburgh County would have aLL rural areas with high-speed internet capabilities?
IS IT TRUE that 2022 will be an interesting year in local politics?…that with an open County Commissioner seat, an open County Sheriff position, an open County Assessor seat, all four County Council districts seat up, all four School Board district seats up, all Township Trustees up, all State Reps, County Prosecutor, 8th District US Congress and one of two Indiana US Senate seats up, and numerous other down-ballot seats, we predict that the 2022 midterm elections will be a record-setting voting event?
IS IT TRUE that in seven weeks, US President-Elect Joe Biden will be sworn in and inaugurated as the 46th president of the United States?…that the Dow Jones hit 30,000 for the first time in US history last week in anticipation of a Biden administration?
IS IT TRUE that Mayor Lloyd Winnecke would make history in 2023 if he runs for a fourth term?…only FOUR Evansville mayors have served three terms (Benjamin Bosse, Frank McDonald Sr, Frank McDonald Jr, and Lloyd Winnecke)? …no mayor has even done four terms?
IS IT TRUE that former Vanderburgh County Commissioner Rick Borries is the only Commissioner to serve for four terms (1981-1997)?…that Commissioner Borries ran for a fifth term and lost to Betty Lou Jerrel in 1996?…since Borries, County Commissioner Cheryl Musgrave is the only  Commissioner to be elected for a third term?
IS IT TRUE that the biggest surprise in the recent General election was that Amy Word blew all her competitors away? …what made this achievement profound was that several groups and individuals attempted to smear and attack Ms. Word at every turn? …we hear that Amy Word is pledging to serve on the EVSC School Board with honor?
IS IT TRUE that Vanderburgh County Council-elect Jill Hahn was impressive in her victory? …that political newcomer Jill Hahn ran a positive race and promise to use her education and business skills for the betterment of the taxpayers? …we been told that Ms. Hahn is already being considered as a potential Vice President of the County Council?
IS IT TRUE that the City-County Observer newspaper is a proud supporter of our law enforcement?
IS IT TRUE that the current printed edition of the City-Council Observer is being distributed throughout select sub-divisions in Evansville/Vanderburgh County proper?  …free copies of the CCO will also be available at the area Schnucks grocery stores this week?
IS IT TRUE we are please in the way that the good folks at local TV Channel 14 are providing the masses with up-to-date local news, weather, and sports?  …we are so impressed by the way they are providing current and accurate news that we have included Channel 14 TV in our 2021 advertising budget?
IS IT TRUE when the people fear the Government we have Tyranny!  When the Government fears the people we have Liberty!
Todays ‘Readers Poll” question is: Do you agree with the way that Mayor Winnecke is handling the COVID-19 virus dilemma?

  2. Several weeks ago cco indicatdd that the recent election was a “clean” one. The editor and reporters must have missed the information that a local resident was arrested and charged with fraudently submitting partially coompleted ballots.

    To be a credible news source ALL media must be accurate and complete.

  3. IS IT TRUE that the EVSC should be transparent with their need for a loan for continuing operations. “Take my word for it” is not good enough. Give us enough time to read and understand what is being proposed.

    Interest on a new loan just increases the operational expenses.
