IS IT TRUE June 22 2012

IS IT TRUE that Governor Mitch Daniels of Indiana has been unanimously approved to succeed France Cordova as the President of Purdue University?…the Governor’s new job will start as soon as his current duties as are completed?…this puts to rest much speculation that the Republican candidate for President of the United States Mitt Romney would eventually tap the talents of Governor Daniels to be his running mate?…that deprives us all of the opportunity to see a Vice Presidential debate between Governor Daniels and Vice President Joe Biden?…that not even the best spin doctors would have been able to help the outcome of such an event if there had been such a thing?…that this is a piece of entertainment that we shall miss but that based on the other people being considered by Romney we will not be treated to another Biden vs. Palin battle of intelligence?…that despite some hard core academics howling because Governor Daniels does not have a Ph.D and shouldn’t be a college president it would seem that somewhere in his highly successful career that whatever credential for being president of Purdue a 40 year old doctorate would have provided it that Governor Daniels has exceeded that credential?…that the people howling of a small number of people over the Governor’s academic credentials need to get over it and put their own Ph.D to work by picking up a POST HOLE DIGGER and making good use of it?

IS IT TRUE there are many people who have been contacting the CCO and expressing displeasure with the decision announced this week with respect to Roberts Stadium?…this new kind of objection really has nothing to do with the wrecking ball or the park that has been proposed?…these comments have been entirely directed at spending the estimated $8 Million to do this at a time that about $1 Billion in mandatory improvements are staring the City of Evansville right in the face over an EPA mandate on our sewers and 600 miles of obsolete water pipes?…that the Weinzapfel Administration was known for choosing short term game related expenditures over real needed infrastructure and that now the coffers are depleted yet Evansville still has a BILLION DOLLAR MONSTER in its living room?…that going forward with the construction of parks when we can’t even manage to clean and manicure what we have and with a BILLION DOLLAR MONSTER in the room is simply irresponsible?…that we hoped for better from Mayor Winnecke?

IS IT TRUE that the United States Supreme Court made a decision yesterday that overruled a lower court decision regarding the collection of union dues for political funds?…that the SCOTUS has ruled against an action taken by the California SEIU that carte blanche assessed its members for a 25% hike in dues for the purpose of establishing a “political fight back fund” to oppose then Governor Arnold Schwartzenegger’s ability to modify salaries, benefits, and pensions?…there has been a law on the books known as “the Hudson notice” that has required unions to notify their members and be given permission to make dues assessments for any purpose other than the cost of collective bargaining efforts?…the SEIU in this case just flat out ignored the law and had their actions upheld by the California 9th Circuit Court?…this important action by the Supreme Court will serve to weaken union shop politics buy more importantly establishes that the Constitution of the United States is the law of the land and that activist judges, courts, or other high ranking bodies like the Congress still can not violate the Constitution?…that this vote may just be a preview of the near future with respect to ObamaCare?

IS IT TRUE that Democrat Party Chairman Jack McNeely has sent a letter to the 8 Democrats on the Evansville City Council encouraging them to take whatever strong arm action that they can to pressure the garbage collection company into doing what the Teamsters want them to?…that while in his former job as a union boss this was expected of Mr. McNeely, in his present role it is highly inappropriate?…that actions just like this recent action by Chairman McNeely also went on in California with the overturned SEIU strong arm tactics?…that there are things that are right for union bosses and others that are appropriate for a party chair and that these things do not always equate?

IS IT TRUE that there is never a circumstance when an elected entity like the Evansville City Council should do the bidding of either the union or the company?…this is a private matter and our elected officials need to maintain their objectivity by staying out of it?

  1. Great remarks in todays IIT about the Vanderburgh County “Union Boss” letter.

    I’m pro Union but find McNeely actions unacceptable.

    He should either be a union leader or a Party Chairman.

    This letter he sent out has really hurt the Democratic party especcially if the Republicans get a hold of it. Great issue to be discuss in public just before the election.

    Shame on you Jack McNeely!

    • It sure smells pretty sneagly if you ask me and pretty dumb on McNeely’s part. Anything in writing sooner or later gets out. THAT said, unless there is proof this actually happened then its immaterial.

    • Is it true he has also been threatening dems with retribution for not getting involved in this issue? Threats of withholding money and support for future races? Ah the good old days of the Vandy Dems are back!

    • must have done some good, Allied Waste is gonna let the teamsters come back to work Monday while they continue to negotiate.

      • Nothing like a threat from a jack booted thug to get results. Actually it is good that the locals get to go back to work and earn a paycheck. I just wish it were under different circumstances than strikes and threats.

      • WHY DOESN’T THE UNION LET THE EMPLOYEES VOTE ON THE CONTRACT???? I WILL ANSWER THAT THE UNION LOSSES CONTROL OF THE PENSION MONEY.

    • IT IS TO BAD THE DEMS COULD NOT FIND A BETTER CHAIRMAN TO LEAD THE PARTY. Mc NEELY SHOULD RESIGN,SIGN UP FOR UNEMPLOYMENT AND MOVE OUT OF TOWN. WE DON’T NEED HIS KIND OF {sic} LEADERSHIP IN EVANSVILLE. SO LONG JACK

    • Perfect fit, a great conservative American at a great American conservative University.

  3. How long before Mitch outsources Purdue? I hope he sells it to Lexington, then they will be afford better basketball players.

      • Al Lindsey stumbled badly out of the starting blocks with Maingate, but got on track and has been on the taxpayers side with Dan McGinn and John Friend on Earthcare and Johnson Controls. Gotta give credit where credit is due. Hope Al Lindsey keeps working for the taxpayers to offset Weaver, Robinson and Mosby.

    • Even I know that Dan Adams or Dan McGinn are more qualified than Gov. Daniels to be President of Purdue. They both got doctorates!

      Little Al

      • Sorry, but Mitch and Dan McGinn both have a JD degree. Juris Doctor, meaning Doctor of Laws.

        • Maybe as president of Purdue, he will grossly underestimate how much it costs to run a university and Purdue will collapse into economic chaos. At least, that is what happened when he ran the OMB for Dubya, and Indiana isn’t looking much better. Further, and this is an honest question, how many of the Purdue trustees that voted Mitchy to be prez were actually appointed BY Mitchy? HMMMM….

      • AGREE WITH YOU BUT YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER MITCH IS BETTER AT PLAYING HIDE AN SEEK. HIDE THE MONEY AND IN A YEAR OR SO FIND IT AND WHOOPE, LOOK WHAT I FOUND IN MY CLOSET.NEVER DID SAY WHAT HE DID WITH IT???????

  6. Greetings CCO, yes, folks have been concerned in today’s Financial times of the expenditure on the proposed Roberts Park. This issue is not going away, it has firm footing, and you are the 3rd Media group that has now witnessed concern on this important issue. There will be more staffing, maintenance—which isn’t high on the past several Mayor’s list for our town Parks, and not looking at this more closely than a preordained hoax to a group of folks who took their valuable time to come up with something useful and more fitting to propose. You can have a multi-use facility that can raise FUNDS and keep out of the Town’s paws to control, build a Youth skate park, and add trees all around and landscaping, and have some fitness inside the Roberts Stadium. Add a Dog park in the back lot area where there is also an entrance. This issue is going to keep continuing………TBA, is what we’ll see. The issue of Roberts Stadium isn’t over.

    • Lord she’s off her meds again. It’s a dead issue. Dead as the the ships coming up the river, your hotels and as your credibility as anything other than a loon.

      • The great part of your kharma is that eventually YOU will be shown 3x the disrespect you just showed to a nice elder citizen, whom has every bit as much right to express herself as anyone on here.

      • Well, I don’t know who you are………I don’t take Meds, I have brought more Steamboats along this river than anyone in the past 25 years–and, MORE could have been here from some folks NOT liking Steamboats, and my Credibility is better than what you evidently have: we don’t even know the name you are hiding behind…so, you evidently have ZERO credibility. And, the person that has their comment below states it right: Karma does come around. We all have comments….we all read or listen to others whether we like the comments or not. Suck it up, Buttercup, again, you must have Zero Credibility hiding your name. I’m guessing you are lazy also. Lets compare what each has done to improve the town. I’d say, from your your lack of showing your name, you’ve done ZERO. I don’t care what you say, hiding your name shows the person you are, a ZERO. We all help the town in areas we can, every thing helps.

        • Far from lazy and definitely not crazy. Put me down for a week stay in the presidential suite at your new hotel. I don’t think people who run scam charities and abscond with the dough have much credibility. Still waitin on all your high falutin connections you talk about to pony up the dough to save Roberts. They did a great job on the Big E. I do apologize for saying something rude about an elder citizen though. I’ll contribute in you name to the next Alzheimer’s walk. That way you can get your meds. This issue is over lady. Move on and and find some other fantasy project to hold a press conferrence about and announce your grandiose schemes. How about a monorail?

          • I will retract the comment about the charity. I had someone else in mind. My apologies. I regret my error. As for my name I am not here for shameless self promotion which based on your extensive clippings I see you as an expert in that field. Kelley did say you built a nice birdhouse for him once. I guess that could count as a hotel depending on the occupancy rate. Cheers!

          • Again, all you are is a ZERO. You can’t get your facts right, you hide your name for some reason—-possibly from the Police, and you are important in your own mind. ZERO. Cheers!

        • If you come down to the River
          Bet you gonna find some people who live
          You don’t have to worry if you got no money
          People on the River are happy to give

          Big Wheels keep on turnin’
          Proud Mary keep on burnin’
          Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the River
          Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the River

        • Mary, you would make a great CEO I think. Submit your resume to Earthcare as soon as possible. You would make a great addition to that august body. As for what proud Mary posted. I commend them for doing further research. What is available via public record can not constitute stalking or harassment. Grab your little tin foil hat though and keep the cia’s spy waves from penetrating your roof and maybe that will protect you. Good luck with those 20 million dollar deals and your lenders. You know anyone can apply for a loan on anything and call them selves a entrepreneur. It convienent how those loans and deals never materialize. Keep plugging away though we love the humor. I hear your currently in negotiation to buy the ny mets, lake mead and buckingham palace. Keep tryig to make Evansville better. We need more crazy here. Your friends on egret way support you!

  7. IS IT TRUE that I’m voting no on consolidation ,,,, you can bet your ass I’m voting so yes it is true I’m voting NO

  8. I must be wrong. I see you have several $20 million dollar deals in the works! Please invite me to fantasy island as I too want to have good luck with my Lenders.

  9. Mary we don’t know each other but you sound loony , maybe you need to see a doctor about getting some meds or either adjusting the ones your on. Good luck and it can get better if you do what doctors say and maybe you won’t need a strait jacket

    • You are stalkin and harrassing her eville taxpayer. She’s gonna call the FBI on you too. probably the EPA, the FTC, the FCC, Kiwanis, the BBB and AARP.. It’s funny when you post things that are the truth with supporting evidence and they claim victim. Hell I rented a boat once and I got a mortgage. I guess that makes me a tour operator and a business developer and financier.
