IS IT TRUE APRIL 29 2014-COMMISSIONER KIEFER ENDORSES MONTRATELLE

1. Interesting mix of IIT for talking points today; booze and politics.

   • The two seem to go together like a horse and carriage, especially locally.

2. Is it true that the current president of county commissioners is the same person that started the process, and tried to eliminate the very government he represents?

   Is it true he needs to go back to city government?

   Is it true that Tornatta and Williams were victims of supporting consolidation? I can think of several more to that list?

   • Same person, who carries a target on his back from the two attempts at consolidation, now the GOP has made the target even larger. Goodbye Joe, your political career has ended.

3. I really don’t care a lot about who endorses whom, but I couldn’t support Montrastelle because of his ECVB ties.
   This letter doesn’t look good for Wayne, though. Truthfully, neither party apparatus looks nearly as strong as the Vectren-ONB mob. Anybody who doubts that just needs to take a look at the mind-boggling new of yesterday.
   As for the Maingate, the literal translation of the sign on the door is, “Make us an offer on this loser.”
   Expect Phoenix sitings today. The Mythical One will feel compelled to defend Wayne, who may show up in person. This may be too much for him to remain silent.

   • I have no opinion on that race. Both of them are good guys and great for the Republican party. It’s not been a secret that Joe and John are close, so this was probably expected. Joe, John & I spoke at great legnth at the RTL banquet this past Thursday. I try to be friends and help most people in the party. I wish Pete & John the best of luck. The voters will choose who they think is the best man.

   • You mean to say Wayne is not the support he hoped to be just a kiss of death!!

   • Morning EKB: Whew! big data day yesterday on the weather stuff,lots of return data,don’t think the systems are cleared yet either,still looks kinda looming for some of our model locations. The Metros in your area did well again,we think we’re close to the test conclusion with those.
     We had one site practically destroyed yesterday by a debris field at that location. The sensors continued to return,however the data was skewed by the measuring device failure due its being covered.

     Check in on this site again to see what was up there,someone from another local down south pointed something out to us yesterday in relation to some political issues similar to evansville’s during the read I came across a picture of an ole historical writer,my deja vu photo recall mechanism kick in and I LMAO when I saw this picture and quote!

     Less that pipe who”s that look like?

     • Your morning quote is great! People would rather go on being fooled than admit they have been fooled.
       It’s starting to look like we’re going to have some more data concerning weather.

   • Conjured that Phoenix right up. Doesn’t take much. I suspect the Ivy Tech news alone would have been enough. Once you posted it didn’t have a chance, in it flew. Somebody must have left a window open. He is already squawking out excuses for Marsha’s upcoming defeat. Blaming the media, now who would have thought that?

     Abell has been recorded saying untoward things about good people, refusing to face the people on the Woods & Woods show or answer legitimate questionaires. Why? The unpaid surrogates who gratuitously fly themselves out to try to clean up for her are unequipped to be of assistance.

     She must really be polling bad. Her current commercial saying she’s ‘known as the taxpayer’s watchdog’ or something like that, is not doing her any good. I’ve never heard of her being ‘known’ as that. It is amateurish, laughable and untrue.

     • Bandana: We observed that commercial on television media,damn, they just about ran the thing over the actual little bit of real news they had, again,the analytics shows that as predicable.

       Spud said something funny about that stuff once. “So much peanut butter’n jelly couldn’t find the bread” 🙂

       • Spud must have witnessed me Sink-Eating my peanut butter and preserves with a big spoon. No bread, no plate, no manners. Just a nice shiny sink, my two jars, a tablespoon and me. An ugly sight but better than a fancy restaurant with white linen tablecloths.

     • In my years as a political operative, I think it’s fair to say that bad polling spawns bad commercials. I saw that, and snickered to myself. I guess a “watchdog” could be one that just sits and watches as the house is emptied, but that’s not what one usually expects of a watchdog.
       As for the bait offered by CCO this morning, I didn’t think it could be resisted, but its sort of like catching a gar. After you catch it, then what?

       • …and bad commercials with bad tag lines often beget appropriate Photoshoppery. The imagery is irresistible. I do not know what kind of uh, watchdog her public sees her as. I’ll just use my own judgment. The Irish Wolfhound is off the table due to exceeding the height requirement.

4. When I decide which candidates to mark on my ballot, I ignore the endorsements of labor unions, politicians, the news media, PACs, etc.

   I do this because these endorsements are usually the personal preferences of the so called leaders of these groups and do not reflect the true feelings of the rank and file.

   • Talking PACS —> try Texas big.

5. Editor, you answer your question in your second paragraph with your first IIT. CCO has acted like a jilted lover in their treatment of her. You don’t even attempt to have the appearance on partiality with her. To me, it seems like a personal vendetta. Let’s see you print untrue rumors about her campaign today. You published a recording of her that was taken without her knowledge. (She must feel like Romney, now.) Then you send her a questionaire and invite to be support your “show” with her participation. Why would any intelligent person do that? It’s always a catch-22. She’s damned if she does, she’s damned if she doesn’t. Mike Woods mentions that the county budget was cut by $4 million, but no one ever acknowledges who was able to achieve that through efficient operation. No need for a response.

   • Pheonix U are a tool for the local gang of cronies!! I hope it pays of for you someday!!

   • Phyllip:

     It was the fiscal arm of county government (the County Council) which cut the budget by the $4 million.

     You are trying too hard to back Marsha, Marsha. Let’s see how much good she will do you in her next full time job – selling real estate.

     She and Wayne may be able to work together in another failure.

6. I heard that SBR is going to run in this race.

   • That makes no sense. Why would she want to be a County Councilwoman? That’s a step down from being a City Councilperson. I’m not sure, but I don’t think she lives in that district, anyway.

7. You think John has served exceptionally on the ECVB Joe? Way to give some really good details backing that up. I’d really like to hear some because I can give you a whole list against that theory.

   This letter, in a nutshell, sums up everything wrong with this city/county. We’ve got city leaders telling us to elect people because they’re their friends not they’re who they think is producing for the city/county.

8. The sign on the main gate door says new management but does that mean new ownership?

   If this means a completely different ownership with a completely different staff I will patronize this place but not until then. A name change may not be a bad idea either.

   I like how the c&p has this on the front of their website. Imagine if they put this kind of effort into things that didn’t involve the city elites.
