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 we are told by several credible sources that current 3rd Ward City Councilman G.

IS IT TRUE we are told that all eyes will be on 2nd Ward Democratic City Councilwoman Missy Mosby when members of the Evansville City Council vote on who will be the next City Council attorney?  …we been told that Ms. Mosby is postured to vote to retain the services of the current City Council attorney Josh Clayborn a Republican from Newburgh?  …we are told if Ms. Mosby vote to retain the services of Newburgh Republican Josh Clayborn it will become a campaign issue in the Democratic primary race in the 2019 Council election?

  1. “IS IT TRUE that some of the employees working for the OLD NATIONAL BANk Events Center feel that they should be treated better by the management?”

    You should include the Ford Center in this statement.

  2. This will strike fear into the hearts of ISIS and Taliban radical Muslim terrorists:
    ……………………………………
    ‘The British Army is to scrap role titles like “rifleman” and “infantryman” for the more gender-neutral “infantry soldier” and “infanteer”.

    The briefing document, seen by the Mail on Sunday, also said that any training manuals with “gender specific” language will have to be thrown out to not be exclusionary to women recruits.

    “Gender specific terms are to be removed from all doctrine, policy, orders and instructions at the SCHINF [School of Infantry] and their use discouraged,” the Doctrine and Concepts policy document reads.”

  3. IS IT TRUE that the criticisms of Republican Chairman Wayne Parke will soon get more public attention from the mainstream media? IS IT TRUE that Mr. Parke has burned a lot of bridges and it is finally catching up with him?

    IS IT TRUE that in 2008 Parke participated in the Indiana Democratic presidential primary so that he could cast his vote for Hillary Clinton? IS IT TRUE that just over a year later, Parke sought to become the Republican chairman by challenging and criticizing long-time Republican Holli Sullivan?

    IS IT TRUE that Parke has long supported Democrat Stephen Melcher as Commissioner? IS IT TRUE that Parke then supported Mr. Melcher when he ran against state representative Holli Sullivan? IS IT TRUE that Wayne Parke most recently recruited Melcher to run as a Republican for 3rd Ward City Councilman?

    IS IT TRUE Wayne Parke spent $10,000 opposing Republican Bruce Ungenthiem? IS IT TRUE that Wayne Parke’s efforts against Mr. Ungenthiem failed? IS IT TRUE Wayne Parke has also consistently opposed Republican Cheryl Musgrave, even predicting she would lose in each of her races? IS IT TRUE that Wayne Parke was wrong in each case? IS IT TRUE that Wayne Parke also drove City Councilman Dan McGinn away from the Republican Party? IS IT TRUE that Wayne Parke openly attacked Republican County Commissioner candidate Steve Hammer? IS IT TRUE that Wayne Parke also attacked Deputy Mayor Steve Schaefer?

    IS IT TRUE that Wayne Parke has essentially attacked every Republican candidate or officeholder and has no friends left in his own party? IS IT TRUE that if the election for Vanderburgh County GOP was held today Wayne Parke would lose badly?

    IS IT TRUE that the future success of the Democratic Party of Vanderburgh County is in the hands of Sheriff Dave Wedding, County Commissioners Ben Shoulders and Jeff Hatfield, and State Representative Ryan Hatfield? IS IT TRUE that this core group could actually resurrect their party?

    IS IT TRUE it looks like our Vanderburgh County elected officials are backing down on a funding request to do a $40 million jail expansion project? …it looks like the jail expansion money request will be between $24 to $28 million dollars?

    IS IT TRUE that the Evansville City Council voted unanimously to retain attorney Josh Claybourn? IS IT TRUE that we are not surprised by this result? IS IT TRUE that Mr. Claybourn has developed a reputation of working with Council in a non-partisan manner? IS IT TRUE that some attorneys seeking the job failed to make headway with an argument over Claybourn’s residence since prior City Council attorneys also lived outside of City limits?
