  1. I’m all for peaceful protests. I personally don’t have the time or the energy anymore, but those young people at California Polytechnic had three days to demonstrate, peacefully, for “Gender Neutral Bathrooms”. They staged a three-day S*#t-In to bring attention to their magnanimous cause which was spearheaded by the Queer Student Union. Gender Diversity was the theme of the event and it was held, partly, in support of transgender students. I wish this was a bad joke…these are the leaders of tomorrow folks.

  2. Winnecke is accustomed to being in tough political situations? I’d say…
    Wonder why? I would venture a guess that people aren’t happy when they figure out they bought you the shovel you used to bury them with?
    $7 million dollars gone, and Winnecke says it’s none of our business where it went. Progress we can see? If that means we’re watching a few of his carpetbagger pals on their way to somewhere better with our money-yes, we all can see that..$250,000 for the Wizard’s phony contraption…Blatantly using other candidates’ ideas to make a Hail Mary play to keep his puppets in power?
    And I hate to be indelicate, but if Russell Lloyd went to a City Official (and he did) to acquire funds from one department to cover a fund deficit in another department, so the State Board of Audits would be deceived (and they were) HOW is that NOT illegal? I would think the official whom released the funds, AND the receiver of the funds would be implicated in knowingly perpetrating fraud.

    FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! DO NOT get amnesia when it comes time to vote, and that includes his bought and paid for Democrat pals.

    • Who could we possibly vote for that would make a difference? We need to get a republican CC, we’ve never had one. All or most of the problems we face in Evansville are the works of the local democrats. I’ll vote for Winnecke and Weaver for sure. Hope the 2nd ward gets their act together and doesn’t allow the democrat machine to push a ringer in on them.

      • In Evansville we will never have a republican CC. First Ward and maybe an at large seat is the best we can hope for
