IS IT TRUE the the Vanderburgh County Republican caucus has voted 9-4 to appoint John Hayden to complete the term on the Evansville City Council vacated by the resignation of Anna Hargis, CPA?…Hayden is a local native attending Bosse High School and The University of Southern Indiana?…according to his public profile he holds degrees in accounting and finance, but no CPA?…Councilman Hayden’s day job is to serve at a tax manager at Shoe Carnival but has done stints at both Vectren and Old National Bank?…the time at Vectren and ONB should be sufficient for the new councilman to have  made contacts with the movers and shakers of Evansville?…we hope this young man of 34 will use his financial education to promote due diligence and rational thought on the Evansville City Council that has been obsessed with spending other peoples money on fun and games nonsense for the last two decades?
IS IT TRUE we expect after this rejection by his own party elders that this was the last stand of the level headed gentleman Alan “Top Gun” Leibundguth, who has tried every way possible to break into politics since moving home nearly a decade ago?…perhaps MR. Leibundguth will find some other way to indulge his desire to serve the public?…there are other ways to serve with honor and impact that do not require winning an election?
IS IT TRUE that the shooting spree continued in Evansville with an alleged drive-by shooting near the Arbors Apartments?…this violent crime did not result in a death, but it did result in a bullet hole in a 19 year old kid’s arm?…this supposedly occurred at 3:30 am in the wee hours of Friday morning?…we must observe that there are not many positive things that ever come from roaming the streets of that neighborhood at 3:30 am?…statistically speaking this is the sort of thing that leads pure data analysts to place Evansville below long time crime infested  Gary, IN on the safe cities list?
IS IT TRUE that online job site Indeed.com has released the best places in America to find a job in 2017 and the list from top to bottom is as follows: Miami, Orlando, Raleigh, Austin, Sacramento, San Jose, Jacksonville, San Diego, Houston, and Memphis?…while three of these cities are in high cost and high tax California, six are in states with no personal income tax, seven are in the south, and not a single one is in the Midwest or Northeast?…we wonder is good climate and favorable tax policies are becoming the most impactful drivers in job creation?
IS IT TRUE we appreciate Saint Vincent Hospital Public Relations Department for sending us news of interest concerning the happenings at their facilities system wide?

Did anyone see the Jon Webb article in this mornings Courier on Mesker Amphitheater? Mr. Webb must have had a summer intern edit and proof it, because the article was surprisingly coherent. Mesker Amphitheater is simply rotting away beyond all repair. A community treasure lost because it was perceived by the powers that be in the Civic Center to be seasonal competition to the Ford Center. The opening of the Ford Center and the closing of Mesker Amphitheater was not coincidence. This loss is a true black eye on our community, but not 1 local politician has championed its cause. Very sad.
He left out the part of the raiding of the Mesker Trust to provide for upkeep That was stolen and put into the parks system .
john h. is a solid conservative. we’re lucky to have him on council he’s not one of those white nation people though asked him saturday if he thinks trump should disown’em and he said absolutely. and i’m not sure if he is so pro winnecke as some of them think. after this, i think he’s gonna take bucshons seat.
