IN RESPONSE TO: CVB Unanimously Rejects ECTA Funding Request for Tennis Courts

“Congratulations,” to all who have advocated for the protection of Wesselman Park Nature Center.“Thank You,” to those ECVB members who have heard the voice of the people.” Bubbageek

“People in this community tend to be so uninformed and maybe thats why everything we do is done in such a shoddy manner. Look at the downtown hotel debaucle.” TSTS

“We have a vast population of progressive, yes men, but I wouldn’t call them “informed”.
You can get funding from the parks board to build indoor tennis facilities, if you can.
We’ll remember that Weinzapfel shut down the park rangers.
We’ll remember the hypodermic needle incident.
We’ll remember the nun-chucks and condoms story.
We’ll remember the Davis proposal to have kids work the parks for min. wage.
We’ll remember the Republicans that called it wastefull.
If you ECTA members want to complain about shoddy. Why don’t you make it a policy that every person that spends 15 minutes playing free tennis on the taxpayers dime… Owes the park system an hour of mowing? (After all, isn’t your largesse to some degree, at others expense?)” Eville Taxpayer

“This is great news. We don’t need anymore pole barns.” Railoverauto

“Makes sense to me. The CVB took the “pie in the sky” numbers that ECTA GAVE THEM and ran the ROI. The numbers did not add up.” Does it make sense

“Public funds…private use. That is what we do not need. We are in an age of me too! I want my subsidy, a handout, a bailout. It was correct for the CVB to say no to this.” Rwtrax

IN RESPONSE TO: Please knock off the Xenophobic Bull and Vet the Proposals on their Merit

“I can’t believe this is even an issue.” Bowhunter72

“it’s a sad state of affairs that has brought us to this point where we have to have a hotel, it’s going to cost the tax base a huge some of money and we are not going to get the best value for our tax dollars, it will never be worth what it costs to build, the hotel will never be able to charge the amount needed to turn a profit and give the investors a reasonable ROI, but yet we have a smiling mayor that laughs and giggles at every photo op and would give the impression that he either doesn’t care, has no shame, or really does think he is smarter then everyone around him….is he really that stupid?” blanger

“The continuing Saga that is Evansville is such an unpleasent tale to tell,–or Sell. A life-long resident, my goal is to shake the dust of this city off my shoes in the near future, and only return to be buried along side family.” Crashlarue

“I forgot to comment on the color blindness of investment dollars. If someone has an interest in your project and is willing to put their money where their mouth is, how could a businessman possibly discriminate ? That sort of thinking is “foreign” to me ! Honestly, the notion that Kish’s comments were trying to portray foreign investment as bad did not occur to me . . . certainly glad that Kish is a Native American.” Beerguy
