IS IT TRUE that Santa left an early Christmas gift in parking spot #3 at the Civic Center? …that a new SUV with municipal plates now occupies the space reserved for Mayor Stephanie Terry? …that long-time Civic Center moles tell us that they cannot recall a mayor provided with a tax-payer-paid car?
IS IT TRUE that everyone has a bad day now and then, even police officers? …that one of our CCO staffers recently caught the brunt of an officer’s bad day? …that last week, power lines were down on outer Lincoln and police were blocking the road? …that our staffer mistakenly thought that the space behind the patrol car was there to allow for a right turn and when he started to make the turn the officer began yelling? …even after the driver apologized and explained his mistake, the officer continued to yell in harsh tones and concluded the encounter by angrily shouting, “You can go ahead and dive over live powerlines if you want!?” …that if this is something more than just a bad day, the EPD may want to provide additional training on dealing with the public? …that an email to Police Chief Phillip Smith about the incident has gone without response?
IS IT TRUE that if every man, woman, and child in Evansville would send $13,823.01 to the Civic Center, we could retire all of the city’s bond debt?
