The City-County Observer has always respectfully disagreed with the assertions that there is any level of entitlement that goes with incumbency. This is not a playground game of “king of the castleâ€; the Vanderburgh County Council position is an extremely important office that needs independent thinking people with strategic cognitive ability and financial acumen.
IS IT TRUEÂ we have an outstanding group of law enforcement professionals that are doing everything they can to protect us? Â …if you feel members of our local law enforcement don’t have a dangerous job please read the EPD Â and the Vanderburgh County Sheriff Office daily activities reports posted in the CCO?
Journalism depends on consistent and reliable sources such as the City-County Observer’s Mole #3 which says that the majority of County Council members want to see a more progressive thinking County Council.
Attached is the official video of the most recent April 7, 2021, Vanderburgh County Council meeting that you will feel most appalling and disappointing on how several of the veteran County Council members conducted themselves during the discussion of the Water And Sewer Grants approval and the lackadaisical way of deciding how to make a multi-million decision concerning the much-needed renovation of the County Jail
As the results of the last County Council meeting, the  City-County Observer is beginning to see some much changes coming to the Vanderburgh County Council. Those changes are within the Vanderburgh County Council members and they have been needed for decades. It appears as though the leadership torch may have been passed to a new generation of progressive thinkers. That leadership torch is either being forcefully taken from the dying hands of an aging political machine or maybe that machine just misplaced its torch as a leader has retrieved it to carry it to a higher place.
That higher place will hopefully be a place without an entitlement mentality of officeholders and is devoid of political patronage positions that are used to keep the herd inside the fences.
In conclusion, this editorial should be interpreted as a political endorsement. We endorse freedom of speech, freedom of choice, and the right to choose any other aspiring candidate for public office has the constitutional right to choose when, where, and how to enter a race without getting permission from any incumbent, party chairman, political action committee, major contributors,
It is up to the candidates to choose when to run and the people to choose their elected officials by having free elections. Thanks to the founding fathers of the United States of America that the final decision is still in the hands of the voting citizens.
Impeach Weinzapfel and run Rick run. Pick Rick is a good slogon to start with for now.
It is too early in the process for these discussions to be happening in a public forum like this, so one must ask whether this could be deliberately orchestrated. One thing for sure, the ONLY people being discussed here are democrats.
Don’t you think there is a distinct possibility that a republican will be running for mayor of Evansville in 2011?
Will all due respect to you Witherspoon, it is *never* too early in *the process* to discuss what affects the public in a public forum. What has gotten all of us in the mess we are in at the moment is too many *behind closed doors* discussions that have affected all of us, Democrat, Republican, Independent, Constitutionalist, etc. And oh yes, there had better be a republican running for mayor of Evansville and anyone else who feels led to do so. This particular incident just happens to be intra-party squabble. A house divided against itself cannot stand.
The Vanderburgh County Young Democrat Booth is not a party fundraiser. We are an independent organization that exists to raise money to support the candidates and elected officials that support us. We do not belong to the Central Committee and are not affiliated. This does not mean that we do not from time to time donate money to the Central Committee and support its agenda, however we are an independent voting body that by majority rule determines how to distribute the funds that we raise. The Central Committee has no ability to withdraw our booth from the Fall Festival and does not control our booth or what happens to the money we raise. We have existed and been independent of the Central Committee for over 25 years. It appears that your reporting is less than accurate, and the inaccuracies certainly affect our organization.
Perhaps you should read the letter that the Chairman of the Central Committee of the Democratic Party wrote. It is on this website and it sounds to me like he believes that he has you young democrats not only under his thumb but in his pocket too. I applaud you independence from the Poliburo, but I would recommend that you advise Comrad Owen that he is not the puppet master of the young Democrats. You and he seem to disagree on who is the puppet and who is the puppeteer.
Salut!, This page is high-quality and so is how the subject was written about. I like some of the comments also even though I would suggest we all stay on the suject to add value to the message. It will be also encouraging to the one who penned it down if we all could make mention of it (for some of us who use bookmarking services such as a reddit, twitter,..). Thanks again.
