IS IT TRUE June 3, 2012
IS IT TRUE this past week brought a number of things to the table that were bound to have gotten there at some point?…one of those was the public acknowledgement that Earthcare Energy has missed the May installment of $8,000 on the $200,000 loan that was hastily approved by the Economic Development Loan Committee that was formed the day before the vote and populated with people who were primed to vote yes as Mayor Winnecke instructed them to?…when the 3rd payment is missed that is a sure sign that the loan should have never been made in the first place?…anyone including Evansville City Council President Connie Robinson and Mayor Lloyd Winnecke who was naïve enough to express confidence that this loan would be repaid AFTER THE CITY DECIDED TO ABORT THE DEAL must have been intoxicated when they made such a statement?…this Earthcare Energy deal is far from over and the READY, FIRE, AIM mentality that allowed it to go forward without even the basics of VETTING must end forever if Evansville is to even have a fighting chance at competent leadership?…it is time for the City Council to pass some kind of VETTING RESOLUTION as it is clear that the people in charge are either unwilling or incapable of restraining the emotional appeal of the press conference in favor of the deliberate act of investigative VETTING?
IS IT TRUE the first time Earthcare Energy was supposedly placed into default on the contract with the City of Evansville the method used to communicate the default was the public news conference?…it is widely believed that Earthcare has still not been notified in writing of the two reasons that the loan was not closed by the City?…this is just amateurish on the part of the City of Evansville?…that Earthcare asserts that they are in compliance with the two items the Mayor stated they have failed on AND the words of the contract seem to be in Earthcare’s favor?…we wonder if missing this payment by 5 minutes really constituted a reason for a news release to the Courier Press with other media sources frozen out?…most loan agreements have remedies and late charges and that this may be the first time in history that a payment missed by 5 minutes resulted in a press release?…this is just another example of amateurish policy designed to get a headline by the Winnecke Administration?…the missed payment should have been no surprise to anyone and now is the time to find a real path out of this mess that hopefully does not end with Earthcare Energy owning the Civic Center?
IS IT TRUE one of the biggest early indicators of the trend in the race to be the next President of the United States will happen in Wisconsin on Tuesday?…if Governor Scott Walker prevails over the largely Democrat and Union driven efforts to remove him from office by a healthy margin, that Wisconsin may just go for Romney in the general election?…Romney has passed Obama in every poll that is taken nationally using “likely†voters as opposed to “registered†voters?…in the key battleground state of Ohio Romney has come from a double digit deficit to a 2% lead in the last month?…if Ohio, Wisconsin, and traditionally Republican Virginia flip to Romney it will be very hard for the President to secure a 2nd term?…that the momentum nationally especially with the weak jobs report is clearly with Mr. Romney?…we are about to be treated to an unnecessarily dirty campaign from both sides?…that these two candidates are quite clean as politicians go so the CCO hopes that the campaigns will cease with the single digit failures of Bain Capital investments and the musings of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright and get on with the real issues of whether business or government is the way out of our economic malaise created by 12 years of irresponsible spending?
GREAT IIT CCO!
THE MAYOR AND HIS SIDE KICK CONNIE ROBINSON HAVE REALLY SCREWED THIS EARTHCARE DEAL UP. I THINK A “VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE” PETITION SHOULD BE BE STARTED AGAINST THESE TWO POLITICAL CLOWNS SOON AS POSSIBLE. SINCE STATE LAW DOESN’T ALLOW US TO HAVE A RECALL ELECTION AGAINST ELECTED OFFICIALS, THIS PETITION WOULD DO MAJOR POLITICAL DAMAGE TO THEIR POLITICAL FUTURE.
I’M ASHAMED I VOTED FOR THE MAYOR!
Does the Editor sincerely believe that this year’s Presidential election, if between Obama and Romney as it appears it will be, will be about government v. business solutions?
My perception is that Mitt Romney is every bit as much the big government advocate as Obama, and any hope of a substantive debate we may have had went out the widow with the viability of Ron Paul’s campaign. In fact, I can think of no issue of immediate import – from the economy to the wars to healthcare – wherein Romney and Obama differ that much. Their “debates” should be laughable.
So right now there’s a 50% chance we move toward We the People, and an equal chance we move toward We the Corporation. Is that what the polls say?
The polls say that Obama and Romney are in a statistical tie. If you wish to interpret that as you stated then you may do so. It is not that clear that is true. Obama has gotten more money from Wall Street than Romney ever will. Obama is not stupid enough to cut his ties to the business community. He just talks that way when he visits the community that he organized.
I think you meant a 50% chance that we move towards we the people who would like a government check every month for doing nothing, and an equal chance 50% who have a brain and know how to use it realize that the other 50% is an unsustainable blight on the country.

We the People was the Ross Perot group. I don’t reckon that any sane person would compare Obama to Perot.
They are a couple of nut-jobs who have no business being in the public square.
