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?

We understand that sometimes people don’t always agree and discussions may become a little heated.  The use of offensive language, insults against commenters will not be tolerated and will be removed from our site.
IS IT TRUE we have an outstanding group of law enforcement professionals that are doing everything they can to protect us?  …if you feel members of our local law enforcement don’t have a dangerous job please that time and read the EPD  and the Vanderburgh County Sheriff Office daily activities reports posted in the CCO?
IS IT TRUE one big reason why the “Affordable Housing Trust Fund “cash balances’ is almost depleted is that the majority of Evansville City Council members recently voted to award a not-for-profit developer $400,000 for a housing project for the economically disadvantaged?  …. it’s obvious that a couple of Evansville City County members should take a class in “Cash Flow Management”?
IS IT TRUE we been told that an elected officeholder is telling people living at the Woodlawn Park Apartments that the City Of Evansville may be considering locating a “Police Sub-Station ” near this crime-ridden property in the very near future? …when one of the residents ask this elected city official where is the money coming from to locate a “Police Sub-Station” near the Woodlawn Park Apartments the politicians quickly changed the subject?
IS IT TRUE we been told if members of the Evansville City Council decides to pull a “rabbit out of the hat” and fund a “Police Sub-Station” near the Woodlawn Park Apartments they will have to pay the officers who man it hazard pay?
IS IT TRUE we been told if members of the “Keep Evansville Beautiful” Association would visit the Woodlawn Park Apartments they would be stunned to see that the grounds and surrounding area are far from being beautiful?
IS IT TRUE many people are wondering why the Evansville Codes Enforcement Department hasn’t done a better in requiring the owners of Woodlawn Park Apartments to comply with the city building codes regulations?
IS IT TRUE that the COVID-19 national testing program will last for at least another year?
IS IT TRUE several years ago the Indiana State Legislature approved “Sports Book Gaming” in Indiana? …we still wonder why they didn’t include “SIMULCAST HORSE RACING”?  …during times like these a “SIMULCAST HORSE RACING” venue located at Tropicana -Evansville would generate a bunch of extra gaming dollars for the Vanderburgh County taxpayers?
IS IT TRUE the “Defund the Police” movement has been a great thing for companies that manufacture and sell guns?…3 million guns have been purchased by private citizens since March?…half of those sales happened during the months of June, July, and August? …the rate at which the FBI is currently doing background checks on private gun purchases is around 190,000 per day?
IS IT TRUE we wonder how on earth can a city that has ZERO population growth, minimal wage growth, and experiencing a serious economic downturn can expect to collect more tax money from its huddled masses than it did the year before?
IS IT TRUE that a local and well-respected minority-owned newspaper named “Our Times” is starting to endorse 2020 candidates?  …that they recently endorsed incumbent Vanburgh County Commissioner Ben Shoulders? …that Commissioner Shoulders has now received endorsements from several labor unions (IBEW, Plumbers, Builders, Teamsters), Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding, County Commissioners Jeff Hatfield, and Cheryl Musgrave, and the local Latino newspaper “El Informador”?
IS IT TRUE when the Vanderburgh County Council discusses the Evansville CVB proposed 2021 budget again we expect that County Councilman Joe Kiefer will recuse himself from any discussion or voting on the agency’s budget request because his son is the President of the CVB?
IS IT TRUE we are told that members of the Vanderburgh County Council will approve the CEO of the Evansville Vistors and Convention Bureau $170,000 salary request for 2021 because its part of the contractual agreement he signed with this agencies Board Of Directors last year?
IS IT TRUE are told that former Evansville Mayor and Chancellor of Ivy Tech and candidate for Indiana Attorney General has the Republican political strategists worried?  …that word in the street is that the Jonathan Wienzapfel campaign is doing very well throughout every section of the State?

IS IT TRUE that State Senator Vaneta Becker (R) is representing portions of Vanderburgh and Warrick County with style and class?

IS IT TRUE that District 76 State Representative Wendy McNamara (R) is also doing a bang-up job for the people she represents?

IS IT TRUE we also would like to thank Kemberle Weightman for preparing and sending us the daily EPD activity report?
IS IT TRUE when the people fear the Government we have Tyranny!  When the Government fears the people we have Liberty?
IS IT TRUE our “READERS POLLS” are non-scientific but trendy?
Today’s “Readers Poll” question is: Are you pleased with the way that our local law enforcement professionals are protecting us?

  1. Nice is it true for this day.. No surprise about all the endorsements for Ben, he’s running as a democrat and it’s obvious from what is happening in democrat cities around the USA that democrats and their supporters just don’t get it. Hey democrats are you Woke yet? Let there be no doubt in all the new gun owners minds, if democrats ever get powerful enough they’re coming after your guns, they say they won’t but we already know that democrats lie so much they make Trump look pious. There’s one thing the democrats don’t lie about and they’ve already told you, Hell Yeah we’re coming after your gun. Go ahead and check out Chicago, Kenosha, Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, NYC and tell me you’re ready to give up your gun. We know the police are both unable and unwilling to protect you. Volunteer to give up your 2nd amend rights, you do this by voting democrat. ANTIFA and BLM have already scared you into giving up your 1st amend rights and no one is standing up and fighting for you, democrats are pleased that they’ve silenced you. I do know that the police have a tough and dangerous job and some changes need to be made. I have noticed that in all the cities suffering major destruction due to police shootings occurred in almost all cases from a person of color resisting arrest, this is a fact. This is beyond comprehension for most folks because we believe in law and order. We need to make laws releasing police from the requirement to arrest people when they resist. There is absolutely no good reason for a Police Officer to end up hurt and on the ground fighting with someone that his community will memorialize.

  2. Woodland Park was a violent rotten place when it was called Parkside Terrace too. The new owners changed the name to Woodland Park when they bought it 15 years ago to end the name association that it had. It didn’t work. It is a bit like naming a failing school an academy and expecting it to magically become one. That complex was, is and probably forever shall be a SH$# Hole.
