Democrat Chairman Mark Owen Stepping Down

02/10/2012

Mark Owen, the long time Chairman of the Vanderburgh County Democrat Central Committee has resigned from this position effective immediately. This resignation comes on the heels of the resignation of Democrat Party Vice Chairperson and President of the Evansville City Council Connie Robinson.

It will be most interesting to see how many more Central Committee office holders will be departing and even more interesting to see just who may raise their hand to volunteer to assume these positions that have been increasingly controversial due to being in the middle of things like BoothGate, FloatGate, and MainGateGate which seems to be the straw that broke the Central Committee’s back?

I am supporting Rick Davis to be the new county chairman!

    Great Idea! Especially since he will be out of a job come January

    Rick Davis would be good. Also Connor O’Daniel, Dan Adams or John Friend would be good.

Don’t let the door…you know the drill-Shame on him-where’s the $10,000 he shafted Bauer’s Grove out of for rubbery chicken?

  I may be mistaken about the $$amt-but not the chicken. I have always admired the property, but for awhile the quality was noticeably lacking.

…again a little late, but I’ll take it. More than enough damage has been done.

  Buh-Bye. It’s about time.
  
  Now let’s restore some dignity, integrity, and honesty to our party’s leadership. It’s been sorely missed.

Please will the new Chairman pay the bill from Bauer’s Grove. We should not take advantage of a Evansville business that has performed their side of the contract.

  Maybe the former Mayor with his half million dollars of “re-election” money will pay his partys bill to Bauer Grove.

I would like to nominate Curt John as the new Democratic Party Chairman, and for the Democratic meetings to CONTINUE at Main Gate Sports Bar.

  Good one! FUNNY!

Jack McNeely will more than likely be the new Dem Party Chair. Missy Mosby is sure to accept the Vice-Chairwoman’s position.

  God help us.

  I would say “NO WAY”… However, after what all has taken place in the last year, all I can say is, if it does happen, I will NEVER again donate my time or my money to the Demo Party! Now, I’m wondering if that was why I saw McNeely and Missy together whispering at the Civic Center last week!!
