On Friday, January 11th, Evansville City Councilman Justin Elpers filed for re-election for the 5th Ward.
He filed for re-election with his family by his side.  Mr. Elpers said; “It’s been a privilege serving the citizens of Evansville”.  “I want to thank everyone for your prayers and support.â€
Councilman Elpers says his message will remain the same, “Leadership over Politicsâ€. “I put the taxpayers first. That entails cutting wasteful spending, not raising taxes, & creating an environment where people want to do business in Evansville.â€
Cheers to cutting wasteful spending . . .my dear Justin, during the last budget cycle, would it be fair to say the people of the 5th Ward heard only cricketts . . . the only member of the council to vote against the Mayor’s bloated budget was Councilman Weaver . . .ironic to say the Finance Budget Chairman . . .apparently who’s opinion was not considered since the vote was 8 ayes and 1 nay . . .as one of your constituents, I had high hopes that you would be a fiscal conservative and from time to time, you seemed to step forward, but, like most politicians, pressure from the top dogs prevailed . . .knowing your father in law, Tom Shelter, Mr. Conservative . . .surely, some counsel must have occurred?
