    We hope that today’s “IS IT TRUE” will provoke honest and open dialogue concerning issues that we, as responsible citizens of this community, need to address rationally and responsibly.

    IS IT TRUE that in some cases that have been documented across the nation, elected officials have actually blunted the efforts of potential competitors to raise their friend’s or relative’s businesses or consulting prospects into single bidder or sole source situations?…when sole source situations happen, the taxpayers lose?…it would be a shame if sole-source service contracts for parties related to elected officials have ever happened with the nomination and vote of that elected official?…like with Gold Bar Bob of New Jersey, such an action would be seen by the taxpayers as self-serving, potentially compromising, and certainly inappropriate?
    IS IT TRUE we are told that members of the Evansville City Council may not be very collaborative at this evening’s City Council meeting despite an 8 to 1 Democratic majority?
    IS IT TRUE that we are told that Mayor Terry has her hands full dealing with Evansville’s serious debt issues?  …we are told that for Mayor Terry to correct Evansville’s enormous financial debt problems she needs to cut expenses, raise taxes, or do both.
    IS IT TRUE that the current outstanding debt owed by the City of Evansville is 280 million dollars and increasing daily?  …that the Evansville Water and Sewer Utilities Department is guesstimated to be 700 million dollars plus and increasing by leaps and bounds each week?

     IS IT TRUE that the Evansville city employee health insurance program has been in the red for many years? …that maybe it’s time for Mayor Terry to consider putting it out for a formal bid?

    IS IT TRUE that the Ford Center has been in the red million dollars a year for many years and it’s time for Mayor Terry to consider it a prime candidate for a forensic audit so she can determine why the FORD CENTER is losing money hand over fist each year?

    IS IT TRUE that we have been told that many Vanderburgh County voters are extremely pleased to hear that County Commissioner Cheryl Musgrave is planning to run for County Commission again?  …that she’s sometimes controversial, opinionated, very smart, hardworking, and a little headstrong? …that to Commissioner Musgrave’s credit she has managed to weather several unfounded and insulting remarks made against her during the recent Republication primary race for Mayor of Evansville?

    IS IT TRUE that we have been told by many of Cheryl Musgrave’s loyal supporters and friends that they will not quietly stand by and allow bullies to insult or mistreat her the way they did her recent Mayoral campaign?

    IS IT TRUE that housing costs and inner core development remain a barrier to economic growth?  …that to encourage more economic development, the city will need smarter and fewer regulations? …that many developers and investors are eagerly awaiting to see whether Mayor Terry will overhaul the AREA PLAN COMMISSION or keep things the same?

    Today’s Readers Poll” question is: HOW DO YOU RATE THE JOB THE MAYOR TERRYS TRANSITION TEAM IS DOING?

        The best way I know, to make sure Buschon’s seat goes to the Democrats?

        Have Richard Moss be the GOP candidate!

        Moss has never, ever, won any election in his life. He is likely one of the worst politician to ever run for Office in Indiana. Run. Lose. Run. Lose. Run. Lose. Run. Lose. Run. Lose. Moss: Lose.

    2. Observing the failure of many democratically controlled cities around the country makes me concerned that our next 4 years will head in that direction.
