IS IT TRUE JULY 10, 2015

1. Coures definitely thinks he and his friends are entitled to your taxes.

   • As does El Presidente but instead of friends they’re a visiting block.

     • Voting block

   • It always seems to start in Room 302 Civic Center commonly referred as Santa’s Workshop. Proceeds from the workshop over to Quality Control or should we say Quantity out of Control, Christmas Carol then the final toys and stuff to Elf Kelley . .those raindeer have to be wore out!!!

2. What a dick!

   • As well as poor grammar & punctuation on his part… I hate to sound like a dick myself but to the good or bad, Kelley represents this administration. At least ANY message put forth by same or by a spokesperson should at least adhere to proper grammar & spelling in order to be taken seriously. Otherwise, that spokesperson might appear something akin to a wannabe big frog in Bee Slough. Wow…

3. This is becoming comical……..if it wasn’t so devastating to the taxpayers.

   • Devastation? How about the Obama regime’s plan to give Iran a 50 billion dollar signing bonus. Barry can channel Jimmy Carter when he says, “I can’t believe they lied to me”.

4. http://www.scvhistory.com/gif/lw2145i.jpg

   I think they are carrying this HUD facade grant thing too far.

   • Façades R Them. Perfect metaphor for the failed Winnecke administration. All window dressing.

5. ATTENTION PLEASE: I have been corresponding with Dan Adams, Pres. of out City Council. He has just emailed that he would like to contact George Lumley to have lunch with him and also discuss the blight that is around Evansville. Please help me contact Mr. Lumley.

   • Glad to talk or correspond with any one. george.f.lumley@gmail.com

6. The arrogant and smart alecky Coures becomes the perfect embodiment of Winnecke’s Imeperial, albeit accidental, Mayoralty.

   Let’s show these clowns the door in November. Both of them.

   • Snarky, yes…but I don’t think is near the level of making drunken voicemail threats.

7. The price to the taxpayer increases by $8.5 Million and the City Council sits there like 9 bumps on a log a takes it.

   • All that and them knowing the sites logistical analysis provides very little valuation even with the deflated design plan. They have now produced yet another abstract construction drawing, yet no designed plan to improve the archaic utilities base or even maybe as important a workable logistical access plan designed and built to this centuries expected and predictable demands.
     The four/six blocks surrounding the place is remarkably lacking in any productive aspect relative to modern throughput commerce. The “tree high double wide motel” will fail due to that very reason, any more than likely the success of a IU Medical extension school will be an overall foot shoot’in as well, if that site continues to be placed into those very poor logistical balances offered in the old downtown Evansville locations. In the long run the medical school site should be either on the USI campus itself or on both sides of the presently growing medical balance along both sides of the I-69 gateway along Vanderburgh and Warrick counties.
     Anyone who can’t see the logistical valuation given by the I-69 gateway is simply showing a lacking profile in predictable horizons, or they are blinded by the backside of the cronies pocket directly in front of them at a noses length.

     “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.”
     (Steve Jobs)

   • What will they do when we install someone as the first woman mayor of Evansville who has the same agenda Winnecke and the same political stripe as the Council? Tax money will gush from the sewers of Downtown Evansville.

8. $28.5 MILLION,–and NO Equity? Nada? Nothing?
   Evansville’s Infamous Politicos–definitely see the Citizens as,– Chickens to be Plucked.
   The universal support by all the Scheming Foxes in the “coop”,
   and the lack of outrage from the “Chickens”,
   — indicates that they are correct in that analysis.

   • Crash. If $28.5 million and no equity for the hotel constitutes a “plucking”, what does $60+ million and no equity for the Med School constitute?

     • At least the hotel will pay property taxes and the economic impact should be substantial.

     • Commonsense, the alternatives offered by the Promenade, that would cost the Taxpayers substantially less, and cost the Evansville taxpayers nothing with the Warrick offer, tells everyone with a brain “The fix” was/is in. So what does the $60+ MILLION deal constitute? The answer is too obscene to post.
       By the way, in no reflection on your screen name, – Commonsense is without a doubt the Commodity in the shortest supply in Evansville, but after all is said and done locally,– it’s Irrelevant to the “Scheme”.

9. IS IT TRUE The revision of history is now complete in South Carolina?

   • No, actually. It belongs in a museum, not on their statehouse.

   • BALOONPILOT – RE: Removal of the rebel flag

     …..your comment is highly illustrative of the content of the Rush Limbaugh show these days, and is a perfect example that the redneck, southern male is reduced to:
     1. Whining
     2. Vengeance
     3. Plan? No. No plan to retake anything.
     ….Only whining and vengeance. This is what people on the losers bench do. That’s all they have to do.

     • And racism is now a thing of the past in South Carolina.

       • This is all whining. It’s hilarious.
         Your expectation is “don’t take it down unless it immediately ends racism?”
         Isn’t that kind of like a fat person saying, “I can’t have the twinkie? What? So, I guess no twinkie then. Cause we all know I won’t be fat anymore if I don’t eat this damn twinkie!!”

         BALOONPILOT, I would engage in a dialogue w/ you on this, but the delay put in place by the CCO has totally stopped that dynamic here. I do NOT get it. It is totally screwed up…what is the purpose of the delay?

         • As always I am more concerned about how we resolve issues. The approach of the ever offended left has empowered racism rather than uniting us. The democrat’s efforts to absolve themselves of their racial guilt by castigating southern culture once again deepens wounds and widens rifts why they deny the sheets in their own closet.

           Lincoln or any who followed him did not see the necessity of striping the south of the banners and memorials which represented those who fought the war as Confederates. Those who lived the Civil war did not see it expedient to tear down the banners and overturn the graves of their enemies to eradicate the good of their culture along with the bad. Yet by the actions of these late to the plate liberators who co-opted a great tragedy as the catalyst by which they seek absolution for their racism so aptly demonstrated in their venerated racist saints like Byrd and LBJ by confessing racism in others, they endeavor upon a trek that wiser men of the times rejected.

           Yes, it is right that only the national and state flags which unite us should be flown over public houses, but do we need to destroy ourselves in the process? If the Southern Cross and the Christian flag are to repugnant for public display, then how does the White House bath itself in the gay flag?

           You may have a new name, but you still follow the baaing of emotions rather than clear headed logic.

         • I-E,
           1. I don’t think you’ve made the case at all. It reads more like, “We want to keep some of these symbols because we LOST trying to preserve slavery and the law allowing us to own black people as property. We do that in order to save face and give ourselves some facade of glory when it is obvious now our cause was humiliatingly wrong.”
           2. Indiana Enoch, even Robert E Lee advocated the total elimination of all confederate symbols from any kind of public display after the war. Even he acknowledged keeping them was wrong.
           3. Last, some on the rebel right of the GOP who want to keep the confederate flag flying on public property, they like to point out, “Well, the Dems put the damn thing up! This shows what hypocrites they are.” In fact, YOU are doing it by calling them, “late to the plate liberators.” SO WE CAN INFER then that the GOP, the party that defeated the south and its racist flag and freed the slaves, is gonna finish this job and step forward and ban the rebel flag from public display including removing it from the Mississippi State Flag. Right? Is your point about the “late to the plate liberators” AUTHENTIC or not?

           The confederate flag represents racism. Everyone knows it. You too. Stop the pretense I-E, you are demeaning your respected intelligence.

         • 1) no where did I say that our imply it. That strawman like especially in your mind.

           2) Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet. Lee like Lincoln did not want to inflame old wounds and grievances, but never did he talk about destroying and removing memorials or banners of Southern heritage.

           3) the only hypocrisy are Democrats who want to deny the racism of Democrats and ignore how many of their saints identified with the Southern Cross and racist organizations. Suddenly they have a pang of conscience, hence they come late to the plate.

           The confederate flag represents racism if you are harboring racism.

10. I shall not rest until the very last Dukes of Hazzard toy has been destroyed!

11. I hear the liberal left is next targeting Dixie Cups.

    • Considering Harry Reid is publicly pressuring UNLV to change their mascot from Rebels, I think you are probably correct.

    • Yeah, that would be as bad as the radical right targeting the Dixie Chicks who by the way happened to be the only ones who were Right….

      • Wow – you’re really reaching back for that one – 12 years? And what they did would have been more palitable had they done it on American soil, at home, instead of in London in front of a foreign audience.

        • I realize you don’t realize it sir but the snake oil you are selling reaches back to the Civil War so I’m going to have to dock you a hundred something years.

          But I do wish I could reach back in time and fast forward a lot of Republicans to the present day and get rid of the ones we have now plus you.

          And Brandon M…….

          • Get rid of? That’s a bit extreme, don’t you think? My bad. Rabid liberals operate on emotion not thought. Truly arrested development.

          • I remember when Democrats looked more like conservatives than communist.

          • Gee, you look like such a nice woman. Or is that your granddaughter?

          • No, you wish to drag republicans into the same liberal morass which has bogged down democrats. Good news, you’re winning.

    • I understand you’re targeting a Dixie Cup quarterly as a condition of keeping your job.

    • and………..

12. AND IS IT TRUE The liberal left is coming for Cracker Barrel for using the word ‘Cracker’ in their name? And IS IT TRUE The left is going to try to ban the words ‘Husband’ and ‘Wife’ because it may offend the gay community?

    • Yawn

13. Mayor Winnecke, I realize that you don’t control the city council however you do control the Evansville Water Dept. Is it your intent to once again allow the water dept. to present before city council a resolution to raise the county residents water bill? (Please see the attached email) Also why isn’t there a County Commissioner appointed to the Water Dept.? Isn’t this taxation without representation?

14. One more thing – IS IT TRUE West Virginia will have to re-name dozens of highways, streets, bridges, buildings, parks, etc that were named in honor of Robert W. (KKK} Byrd if they are serious about removing symbols of racism in the south? Maybe, too, they should disinter his remains and move them to a non-descript location.

    • Just stop. You’re beating a dead horse and thankfully you’re in the minority.

      • So, you’re quite happy about naming tax funded infrastructure, government buildings, and federal highways after klansmen, then?

        • Byrd repented. The new dixiecrats, the Republican party, have not.

          • Yep. Byrd repented. Then, on the Senate floor be began talking about, “White niggers.”

          • We have nothing to repent for. Therefore, we won’t.

          • I can’t say for Byrd repented, that’s between him and God, but he never apologized and neither have the Democrats. All they do is deny it was their party and accuse Republicans.

          • The parties switched. Only liars and fools try to claim Lincoln would be a Republican today. Johnson even said he was turning over the south to the Republicans with his fight for civil rights. Lincoln was a liberal.

      • Ahh, so majority rules. I’m sorry, but it wasn’t the minority of balloon pilots who began beating dead confederates. Yeah, we progressives need to do away the Southern obstacle.

        • This is silly. Removing the confederate flag has nothing to do with GOP or DEM, and you are promoting a distraction Indiana Enoch. The notion that today’s Democrats need to apologize? That today’s Republican’s need to apologize? Neither would be authentic if it were offered because neither is responsible for the atrocities of trying to protect laws that allowed human beings to own other human beings as property. You can discard property, burn it, trade it, kill it, rape it, torture it…anything that comes to the mind of a sociopath.

          Those responsible were the confederates, and their confederate flag represents their cause – and should be relegated AWAY from any and all public/government property and placed in a museum that records history.

          • You’re forgetting racists like IE and balloon pilot lie and say the civil war was about taxes or states rights or something, not slavery. Southern states even teach that in schools. “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”

15. Let’s compromise loonpilot, and I’m throwing in the “Red” for free:
