IS IT TRUE are told that a few Republican “SPIN DOCTORS” are predicting that the City Council Ward Three (3) and Ward Two (2) winners will be Republicans?  …we are told that some of these same people also predicted that President Trump and the United States Senator Mike Braun would both lose the Republican primary?

IS IT TRUE we find it interesting that several candidates for the Evansville City Council are telling potential voters that if they are elected they will be the  “Taxpayers Watchdog”?  …if City Council candidates really want to prove that they have the capacity of being a “Taxpayers Watchdog” they should publicly request that the City Controller provide then with a complete and accurate accounting on how much has the City invested in the Evansville Thunderbolts since it beginning?
