IS IT TRUE MARCH 13, 2017

IS IT TRUE that a large group of supporters of “Indivisible Evansville” attended a Legislative Forum last Saturday morning at the Poseyville Community Center?  …that State Senator Jim Tomes called this event “an all-out drag of war”? …we find it interesting that Tomes was shaken by the aggressive actions of supporters of  “Indivisible Evansville”? …at past Legislative Forums, Senator Tomes yelled and talked down to some of his constituents with whom he disagreed with?

IS IT TRUE like it or not what supporters of “Indivisible Evansville”  did at the Poseyville Legislative Forum on Saturday is called an exercise of their Ist Amendment Rights?  …members of the “Indivisible Evansville”  group shouted, jeered and interrupted United States Representative Dr. Larry Bucshon seemly every time he tried to speak or answer a question?  …maybe if Congressmen Larry Bucshon would have given them honest and straightforward answers to the group questions about Obamacare he may not have been jeered, shouted at or interrupted while speaking?

IS IT TRUE members of “Indivisible Evansville” missed an opportunity to question Mr. Bucshon why he sold his million dollar family home located in Newburgh and turned around and bought a new expensive family home in the Washington DC area?  … it’s now alleged that Congressmen Bucshon just acquired an inexpensive condo in the Newburgh area?

IS IT TRUE that supporters of “Indivisible Evansville”  also missed a big opportunity when they failed to ask State Senator Jim Tomes and State Representatives Tom Washburn, Wendy McNamara, Holli Sullivan why did they allow the State to quietly eliminate around 1500 Ivy Tech medical tech students from attending the soon to be built downtown Evansville IU Medical School?  …we were told that the above-selected officials didn’t aggressively lobby State officials after they learned that the Ivy Tech students were quietly eliminated from the IU Medical School project?  …after the State officials received the $57 million dollars commitment from the Mayor of Evansville they quietly eliminated Ivy Tech students from this project?  …we considered this to be a damnable and unethical move by our elected and appointed officials?

IS IT TRUE we also encourage supporters of “Indivisible Evansville” to attend tonights Evansville City Council meeting and ask them why they voted to reduce our Homestead Tax Credits by 2% this year without consulting the taxpayers of this community?  …we would also like for members of this group to ask City Council members why they didn’t demand that the Mayor withdraw the $57 million dollar commitment to building the downtown IU Medical School after the State quietly eliminated 1500 Ivy Tech Medical Tech students from this project?

IS IT TRUE The Regional Board of Trustees of Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana Southwest will conduct its regular quarterly meeting on Tuesday, March 14, 2017, at 4 p.m. in the Hilliard Lyons boardroom, Suite 201, at its Evansville campus located at 3501 N First Avenue, Evansville?  …Is this meeting open to the public?   …this might be a good time for members of the public to ask members of the Regional Board of Trustees of Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana Southwest why they allowed the State to quietly eliminate IVY Tech medical tech students from the IU Medical School project?

IS IT TRUE the new downtown Doubletree Hotel is now open for business?  …the taxpayers of Evansville invested around $27 million dollars of our hard-earned tax dollars to subsidize the building of a 10 story three (3) Star Hotel with an indoor swimming pool? …because of alleged cost overruns the Mayor decide to build a three (3) Star 5 story Hotel with an outside swimming pool?…we wonder who benefits from this $27 million dollar investment in this project?  …was it the Evansville taxpayers of the Developer/Builder?

IS IT TRUE amendments to the past ordinance how to handles public comments will be up for a vote at tonights City Council meetings?  …one amendment to the ordinance shall outlines who can’t speak during meetings and how Council can settle disagreements over who it wants to hear the speaker?  … a proposed amendment would eliminate committee hearings and to get rid of the three readings of an ordinance? …another proposed ordinance change clarifies what to do if City Council President Mosby wants to prevent someone from speaking? …another amendment to this ordinance shall allow one council member to second a motion from the floor that will grant someone the opportunity to address Council? … we wonder why City Council wants to include a moment of silence following the Pledge of Allegiance?

FOOTNOTE: Todays “READERS POLL” question is: are you pleased that supporters of “Indivisible Evansville” are publicly taking to task the misdeeds of our elected officials?

  1. “Indivisible Evansville”? I thought they were named “”Invisible Evansville”.

  2. I am pleased to see citizens organizing to voice their opinoins. I hope “Indivisible Evansville” becomes better organized in their objectives and goals.

  3. Indivisible Evansville or any community, FKA “Occupy” is not concerned about the First Amendment. Their purpose and tactics is to steamroll over the rights of others to freely speak their minds. The democratic fed cancer call “Invisible” is representative of the systemic problems in the democrat party that has resulted in them becoming the side show of American culture. They become a fishbowl of oddities and idiots. People like me take a “not my monkeys not my circus” position and stay away from these spectacles of folly. We will see them at the ballot box, if they can wake up early enough to make it.

    • IndianaE, spot on and well said! These are left wing community agitators that protest and disrupt town hall meetings. Very true that they are an oddball collection of old hippies, abortion/Planned Parenthood activists, Bernie free stuff supporters, anarchists, climate change kooks, liberal arts college grads & profs, Obama socialists, tree huggers, militant feminists, union teachers and the usual antiwar hodgepodge.

      • If i might add uncivil commies……..monkeys……..apes…….. grubber goobers………………….today’s liberal/socialist/commies have lost their mind……………..I love it I want some more of it lollllllolllll…………hahaha……..President Trump Law & Order 2017 And Beyond………………

        • IE,JB,dull:

          Yeah, you three were all sorts of happy when the Tea Party went to events and disrupted public discussions about the Affordable Care Act.

          But your hypocrisy shows thru like always. When right-wing nut jobs disrupt Democrat gatherings, that’s OK. But when American citizens stand up for the benefits they need and to protest the removal of life-saving health care so millionaires can get a tax break, well that is such a disaster

          You make me sick

    • Did John just seriously call the CCO a blog? Come on John how many things on here have magically made it on the Courier the next day? If this is a blog what do you call a print news company that keeps getting sold? You should be thanking this site for doing your job you silly little dork.

  5. Indivisible is just another pedestrian anti-Trump collection of liberals.

    Get over it! You lost the election, and for good reason. The citizens of this country were not going to hand it over to a bunch elite liberal globalists who want government to run everything. Deal with it. Showing your ass at town hall meetings is nothing new for you people, you have been doing it for decades. The cold hard fact of the matter is no one wanted what you and your leader Hillary Clinton was selling.

    • You are like the other mouth-breathers above. The Tea Party was your darlings, disrupting the initial discussions of the Affordable Care Act. Now that the citizens of America are learning that this new Trumpnocare is being rolled out and people are trying to tell Legislators that they are going to kill people so their rich top 1%-ers can get a tax break, you think something is wrong

      As stated before, you make me sick

  7. There is no entity called “Invisible Evansville” registered with the Indiana SOS, the same goes for “Invisible Indiana”. Likewise, they are not listed with any of the Form-990 search organizations.

    I expect that the liberal MSM will offer all the free air time they can in an effort to prop up this group of malcontents. That said, they have every right to attend town hall meetings and ask questions. What they do not have is any right to disrupt the meetings or throw tantrums when they receive answers to their questions that are not to their liking.

    • Make that “Indivisible” Evansville instead of invisible Evansville. Its their leadership that wants to remain “invisible”, but we have his name: George Soros.

      • Press, right you are: “indivisible” is the illegitimate offspring of a Soros and Obama mating.
        ……………..

        “Membership in the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has tripled since Donald Trump’s election in November to over 19,000 paying members, a report from the Los Angeles Times reveals.

        The group, founded in 1982, is now the largest socialist organization in the United States and recently published a “Resistance Rising” strategy to combat the Trump administration…..

        The DSA is not the only hard-left organization to increase its membership since Trump’s victory. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) claims to have gained hundreds of thousands of new members since November.

        Meanwhile, the “Indivisible” movement, reportedly backed by George Soros with links to Barack Obama’s “Organizing for Action” campaign-turned-activist group, now boasts over 4,500 associated groups across the country tasked with challenging the Trump agenda.”

      Yeah, when tRump was getting billions in free air time on the MSM, that was just fine. But now that the citizens of America are rising up to the absurdity of tRump and his efforts to FILL the swamp, lowlives like you want to gripe

      Get over yourself

  9. Quote of the day:

    “So long as academia talks demographic ‘diversity’ and practices groupthink when it comes to ideas, we have little reason to expect better of student mobs that riot with impunity.”
