IS IT TRUE that The Right To Assemble And To Seek Redress Of Grievances Is Enshrined In Our Constitution?  …over the last several years we have witnessed peaceful and violent protests alike throughout America?  …that groups of anarchists and agitators attempted to foment lawlessness and unrest to advance their own objectives to cause chaos in America? …we are a nation born of the revolutionary spirit of protest, coupling expressions of grievances against injustice with the desire to be free? …we deplore the theft, looting, and burning of businesses and places of worship caused by the random acts of lawless anarchist thugs?  …in fact, we believe that these lawless thugs should be arrested and thrown in jail?
IS IT TRUE that Knight Township Trustee Kathryn Martin is doing an outstanding job for the people she serves?
IS IT TRUE the stark reality is that newspapers across the country are victims of large investment groups that have cut talented writers and reporters from their employment, alienated advertisers, and produced irrelevant biased narratives?…at this rate, there will only be a handful of newspapers still in print in the United States in 5 years?
IS IT TRUE that many people feel that one of the key focuses of a local newspaper should be to keep local government accountable to the taxpayers?
IS IT TRUE that it is no secret that this region is struggling with a heroin and fentanyl epidemic along with much of the country?…that this epidemic came about because some irresponsible doctors were handing out opioids like jellybeans?  …this irresponsible practice has created an estimated 18 million opioid addicts?  …the parts of the country where opioids were handed out like Halloween candy are now seeing more heroin and fentanyl deaths than other places but no place is immune to this scourge?  …during the last several years more people have died from fentanyl and heroin overdoses than from gun-related homicides?
IS IT TRUE that our staff recently had a discussion concerning who is the hardest-working member of the Vanderburgh County Council and who is the most conservative?  …it was decided that every member of the Vanderburgh County Council is hardworking but James Raben is the most conservative member?
IS IT TRUE that we are pleased with the way that Vanderburgh County Commissioner, Ben Shoulders, and Evansville City Council member Jonathan Weaver are addressing excessive government spending and overreaching bureaucratic ordinances?
IS IT TRUE that we wish that our elected officials, business owners, and Veterans groups would organize a capital fundraising committee to raise money in order to bring back the “Veterans Memorial Colosseum† to its original grandeur?
IS IT TRUE it’s with a prayerful resolve that the compassionate advocates of the downtrodden will convince the career politicians and bureaucrats to create government-funded programs that will start offering the disadvantaged a helping hand, not governmental handouts.
IS IT TRUE we have been told that there might be an internal philosophical power struggle between the moderate-to-right and the far-right elements of the Vanderburgh County GOP?
IS IT TRUE that when politicians reappraise our home value earlier this year they in essence increase our annual property tax payments?
IS IT TRUE that we support those who have taken to the streets to exercise their First Amendment rights by peacefully expressing their anger and sorrow about the mistreatment and discrimination of people of color and members of the LBGT Community?  …we also strongly oppose discrimination against people of all races, colors, creeds, and sexual orientations?
IS IT TRUE if you’re looking for a down-home place to find an incredible tasting thick T-BONE STEAK or a scrumptious 2-inch PORK CROP please take a short drive to Oakland City, Ind and visit TAYLOR-2 Restaurant? Â …the service is top notch and the prices are extremely affordable?

OK, but could they be more specific as to actual incidents of people of color and LGBTQ people are being discriminated against? There are events in our parks and libraries that exclude anyone who is not of color or heterosexual.
I don’t think that anyone is ever EXCLUDED from a public library or park event. The events may be focused on the LGBTQ+ community or the minority community but everyone is always welcome.
