We are grateful that the City Council leadership selected Scott has their counselor. Shame on those members who originally opposed Scott as their attorney…and they know who they are!!! Mr. Hamilton is a great guy and good attorney and, we know that some folks just do not like the controversy that will come from time to time….Our great community is now under the leadership of individuals, much like the past, who’s agenda are self-serving, including their monetary supporters, Thank God for the talent and resolve of our dear Scott Dank…p.s. hope Friend invites him onto his yacht…please remember Scott, make sure your drink is in a cuzie. Ha Ha…..
Thanks CCO for taking a stand on pushing for open government.
Ted Ziemer should be ashamed for telling the media that the April 8, 2013 is confidential.
What what an idiot.
Ziemer is just another one of the washed up buffoons that Winnecke has surrounded himself with. There are literally dozens of people surrounding that guy that don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground. That is what you get when you elect an insecure person who was a willing puppet for the former mayor. Who would have ever thought Evansville could have dumbed it down more after the Weinzapfel and Jones duo of legends in their own mind.
We are dancing in the hall at the Civic Center because both the CCO and the Courier are taking the Mayor to task over another back room political deal.
Looks like the Courier and CCO do well when they work together.
Outstanding job Mr. Danks. You put that worthless Ted Ziemer to shame by releasing the April I T report.
Looks like city council finally has someone who watches their back side.
I have totally change my opinion about you. Sign me up as a member of the Scott Danks fan club!
