IS IT TRUE OCTOBER 27, 2018

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 in a rational and responsible way? 

IS IT TRUE that yesterday a political flyer was sent out to the voters of Vanderburgh County by the “Jeff Hatfield for Vanderburgh County Commission Committee”?  …that this political mailer was less than complimentary of his political opponent Mike Duckworth? …that this political flyer rekindled the past errors in judgment that his political opponent Mike Duckworth made when he served as a Vanderburgh County Deputy Sheriff?

IS IT TRUE that Mr. Hatfield political flyer states “that Mike Duckworth abused his position as a Vanderburgh County Deputy Sheriff-and taxpayers trust-by making up overtime pay for himself at our expense.”

IS IT TRUE that this political flyer also states that “as Deputy Sheriff, Duckworth was caught creating new overtime pay for himself concerning the “DEPUTY DUCK” program, that cost us $14,000″.  The Sheriff called Duckworth “self-serving” and said, “all this time for which he been billed a “Good Samaritan”, he has not been.”

IS IT TRUE that the Hatfield mailer states “that Mr. Duckworth lied about his role in a hit-and-run accident when he was a Vanderburgh County Deputy Sheriff”? …”that Mr. Duckworth admitted lying in a police report investigation when he and two other officers were involved in multiple hit-and-run crashes after leaving a nightclub”?  …it also stated, “that Deputy Sheriff Mike Duckworth was charged with obstruction of justice and found guilty of false reporting”?  …”that the County Prosecutor said that Duckworth had betrayed the very trust he was charged with enforcing”?

IS IT TRUE we look forward to Mr. Duckworth’s response to Mr. Hatfield’s political flyer in the near future? …we shall print his response to the allegations made in the political mailer sent out by of Mr. Hatfield campaign committee without bias, editing or opinion?
