IS IT TRUE that James Love, Jr. appeared at the February 24, 2011 Vanderburgh County Election Board meeting during the “new business†portion of the Agenda?… that Mr. Love, Jr. said he was an Evansville resident and respectfully requested a meeting the next day with County Clerk Susan Kirk to obtain materials so that Mr. Love, Jr. can run as an Independent candidate on the ballot this fall for Mayor of Evansville?…that Mr. Love, Jr. would have by noon on June 30, 2011, in which to gather and file the required number of signatures from registered voters?

What is Mr. Love’s voting record with regard to party affiliation, voting frequency if any, etc.?
