IS IT TRUE? July 19, 2011

IS IT TRUE that the two responses to BUILD AND OPERATE the downtown Convention Hotel are now in the plastic tubs of Tom Barnett and John Kish?…that the two responses were the tow that were expected, specifically the Kunkel Group and Prime Lodging LLC?…that the real process of decided which if either of these proposals has the resilience to really deliver a hotel and an experienced operator starts today?…that the Evansville Redevelopment Commission will meet this morning to officially accept and read the two proposals into the official record at 8:30 am today on the 3rd floor of the Civic Center?

IS IT TRUE that the Weinzapfel Administration has recently been accused of running in a READY—FIRE—AIM manner?…that the 3+ years spent since that day in 2008 when Browning and the Mayor stood side by side to announce plans for a 4-Star Hotel may have just concluded the READY phase of that process?…that we hope that the City of Evansville is truly finished with the whole READY phase but realize that there is a possibility that we may have to visit READY again if neither of these proposals VET properly?…that Mole #3 tells us that the finger is on the trigger and that FIRE is the most preferred next step of some of the “powers that be”?…that many of the supporting cast for past actions of the “powers that be” have finally realized the errors of their ways?…that there is strong opposition within the ranks of the supporting cast to the URGE TO FIRE?…that cooler and saner heads must prevail this time?…that the following several months are not a time to FIRE?…that with all due disrespect given to the mistakes of the past IT IS TIME TO AIM?…that this may be Evansville’s last shot in the foreseeable future to actually secure a Downtown Convention Hotel?

IS IT TRUE that John Kish, project manager is now on record as saying that the approval process typically takes about three months?…that it is exactly 3 months and 3 weeks or 112 days until Election Day 2011?…that in a short 112 days we will all know whether it will be Lloyd Winnecke or Rick Davis who will become the Mayor that will assume responsibility for executing the decisions that are playing out right now?…that that there are 166 days remaining in the Weinzapfel Administration?…that the two candidates for Mayor of Evansville need to focus like a laser on what is being done in these 166 days that will have lasting effects into their administrations?…that the part of the process that we shall call AIM that includes a thorough VETTING of these two Downtown Convention Hotel proposals shall have a significant impact on the launch of either a Davis Administration or a Winnecke Administration?…that a binge of READY – FIRE – AIM decisions that commit the dwindling number of available dollars well into the future could severely handicap the initial conditions of the next administration?

IS IT TRUE that it may just be a good idea for the two candidates to start getting in front of some of the spending commitments that may be in the READY stage in the waning days of the Weinzapfel era?…that Evansville is just a couple of MISFIRES away from having problems that may not be solvable in any preferable way?…that such MISFIRES must be avoided?…that if a VETTING COMMITTEE is indeed formed that it would be in the interest of the candidates to attend these meetings for preparation purposes of launching the next administration?

  1. A “Fresh” start for this community in only 166 days, is welcome news/Balm for a Weinzapfel “sore” population.

  3. King John and his stooges are now wondering how much money can we take with us before we are asked to leave the honey jar. Anybody who votes for the people who let this happen are setting us up for more of the same old same old. Lets get the Weinzapfel mafia from the top to the bottom out of here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. Weiny the Pooh
    Doesn’t know what to do
    Got a money jar stuck on his nose

    He came to me
    Seeking help and advice
    and from her no one knows where he goes

    He wandered much further today than he should
    and he can’t seem to find his way back from the hood

    So help him if you can, he’s gotta get
    back to the front door pride house at poo corner by 1
    You’d be surprised there’s so much to be done

    Count all the bucks in the hive
    Drink all the beer in the dive

    Back to the days of Jonathan Weiny
    Back to the days of Jonathan Weiny
    Back to the days of poo
    ooo – ooo -oooo

    Apologies to Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robbin

  5. A clean sweep folks; vote out all who were complicit with, or too weak to stop the madness that characterizes the Weinzapfel administration.

    This is tough-love at its’ finest. …

  6. Can’t wait till ALL the Weinzapfel cloonies are gone!!!!! How long till the November elections?

    • He takes more vacation time than W did! Poor guy, so tired from printing property tax bills. Must be exhausting, hitting Ctrl + P and saying, “I’m against that!”

  9. “…that in a short 112 days we will all know whether it will be Lloyd Winnecke or Rick Davis who will become the Mayor that will assume responsibility for executing the decisions that are playing out right now?….” (CCO)

    One would think that whether the next mayor is Winnecke or Davis, that the first thing they would do upon assuming office would be to protect their new administration by calling for an audit of the downtown arena and hotel projects.

    Those two projects will undoubtedly consume a great deal of the new mayor’s time, and any previously undiscovered or undisclosed “surprises” could unfairly harm the new office holder.
