IS IT TRUE APRIL 11, 2017

IS IT TRUE at last nights City Council meeting Evansville City Councilman Justin Elpers  requested that someone from VenureWorks appear before Council on April 24, 20117 to explain and update them about the financial activities of the Evansville Thunderbolts and Ford Center?  …we commend Mr. Elpers for requesting this long overdue financial review and update of the Thunderbolts and the Ford Center?  …we wonder why City Council Finance Chairman Dan McGinn didn’t request to be done long ago?  ,,,,we can’t wait to find out if the Ford Center made an honorable profit or lost around $1 million to $1 1/2 million dollars this year (not in included in this projection is the annual $8 million bond note payment on the Ford Center)?  …we also look forward in hearing if the Thunderbolts lost any money during the home games and if so who are covering these losses?
IS IT TRUE that the inspection of the Soldiers and Sailors Coliseum in downtown Evansville was supposedly completed by a person who is trained to inspect houses?…while some things about a Coliseum and a house may be similar like wood and concrete, the structural issues and failure mechanisms are not so similar?…it looks like someone made a poor choice to hire a home inspector and paid him over $6,000 for him to do this task?  …. that the President of the Vanderburgh County Commission has asked the Evansville/Vanderburgh Building Inspectors office to do a walk through inspection of the Soldiers and Sailors Coliseum? … this seems like the same approach taken by former Evansville Mayor Wienzapfel with the Roberts Stadium building in order to declare it unsafe for public events?
IS IT TRUE that it has often been said that “you can’t make a good deal with a bad person”?…this is particularly true when that person is a head of state that has no reason whatsoever to do one any favors?…now that the Trump Administration has pushed the button on an airstrike on a Syrian air base in retaliation for the Syrian government’s use of chemical weapons on its own people, people are questioning why this took so long for the United States to do?…President Obama did indeed draw a line in the sand and warn Bashir Assad that use of chemical weapons would result in American retaliation, but did nothing when Assad used the weapons?…former Secretary of State and 2004 democrat nominee for President John Kerry was quite proud of making a deal with the Russians and the Syrians to never use chemical weapons?…Kerry made deals with bad people so he should not be surprised that they didn’t do what they said they would?…we don’t know if the air strikes will change anything, but we do know that when you draw a line in the sand and do not follow through, the message received by your adversary is that you are weak and inconclusive?…it looks like those days are over for the United States for the time being?
IS IT TRUE we find it interesting that Senator Donnelly is trying to appease the GOP leadership by backing some of their nominees in order to convince them that he is nonpartisan?  …the real truth is that GOP leadership considers Senator Donnelly to be extremely vulnerable when re-election times comes around?  …Mr. Donnelly may also be  extremely venerable because his local field staff seemly lack the follow through needed to launch a successful re-election campaign on his behalf?

IS IT TRUE on the other hand we consider 8th District Representative Larry Bucshon local field office staff ito be extremely aggressive and knowledgeable?  …whomever takes on Mr. Bucshon in the primary and/or in the general elections better have one hell of a campaign staff and a political war chest?

IS IT TRUE the best Indiana State Senators in recent years are Joe O’Day and Venetta Becker?

IS IT TRUE the most effective Vanderburgh County Coroner in recent time is Anne Groves?  …the current County Coroner Steve Lockyear is during an excellent job?

IS IT TRUE the most effective Vanderburgh County Auditor over the years is none other than Indiana  Lt. Governor Susan Crouch?

IS IT TRUE the former State Representative Larry Lutz did an outstanding job in that position?  …that Hollie Sullivan and Wendy McNamara are doing a creditable job as our State Representatives?

IS IT TRUE that Perry Township Trustee Rick Riney has proven to be an outstanding public servant?   …Pigeon Township Trustee Mary Hart is considered to be the best Trustee in modern time?

FOOTNOTES: Todays “READERS POLL” question is: Do you feel that the Veterans Memorial Coliseum should be saved from the wreaking ball?

  1. As far left democrats double down on their agenda and public displays of indignity over losing power when they believed their agenda was about the prevail, they will continue to lose elections and representation. Their blue has faded to gray in this cultural civil war.

  2. “If I win, I’m going to golf so much I’m going to get tired of golfing”. I guess that’s what I overheard Donny Golden Nuts say during the campaign but don’t quote me on that exactly.

    But yes CCO I do believe you have a point here. Trump has tried everything from releasing two pages of his tax returns to accusing Obama then Susan Rice of crimes to change the subject from his bad press and now cha ching, he finally hit the jackpot.

    I also look to see more military style news changers on a regular basis from now on because even though Assad was using his airbase within hours of the Tomahawk strike, it was actually the Ruskie meddling in our election investigation that got “neutralized”.

    Gangway Mount Rushmore, there’s a new sheriff in town and even Reagan wouldn’t make a pimple on his bronze butt.

    Believe me….

  3. Lets concentrate on all the nasty properties tear down the houses and clean up neighborhoods leave the historic buildings alone please

  4. Rick Riney and Mary Hart are very good Township Trustees. Knight and Center Trustees are worthless. Hope they are gone the next time they run for office.

  5. For what it’s worth, if this link pulls up, it’s an Amaranth plant growing at my house that is rare around here but could be prolific if desired.

    It is edible not only to wildlife but wonderful for human consumption also.

    Thanks CCO for posting some things you totally disagree with.

    That doesn’t happen in Russia.

    And sometimes not in Evansville.

    Know what I mean?….
