  1. Uh, did Weinzapfel live within Evansville’s budget with the the Fraud Center millstone he left around the city’s neck? And, frankly, putting Weinzapfel and McDonald Jr. in the same sentence in an attempt to smear the current administration is insulting to Mac Jr.

    • Having “Rainey Day Funds” is great policy.

      Let’s be clear. Fiscal conservative policy, living within the budget and NOT generating enormous deficits, is the hallmark of the Republican Party.

      Today, our governments have stopped being these kinds of Republicans. In fact, I don’t think they are Republicans at all.

      Sad!

  2. this is a good is it true

    but you know, i can’t help but think it would be a lot easier to get “…good-paying jobs, reliable public transportation, affordable and livable housing, good schools, affordable daycare services, a quality grocery store, and accessible and affordable healthcare” under a new president

    its clear now none of those things are happening under trump. none of them.

    trump is all high unemployment, loss of jobs, closed businesses and increases in crime.

    we need a new path forward

    the country is in terrible shape

    • I’m sure we will get all of that if biden wins. Democrat controlled areas are notorious for the worse schools in our country. Under democrats public transportation is dirty and dangerous. Democrat controlled cities are the most dangerous cities in the world. Dream on.

      • This line of propaganda is FAILING.

        I know you don’t have any other response. Right? I mean with 18% Unemployment and growing worse, and 33% DROPS IN GDP….what else CAN you say?

        Trump is losing more States. You need better material Newspeak.
