IS IT TRUE that Johnny Kincaid is doing an outstanding job with the City-County Observer-sponsored podcast?
IS IT TRUE that recently two of three (Commissioner Musgrave voted no) Vanderburgh County Board of Commissioners and members of the Evansville City Council voted unanimously to donate $300,000 of our tax dollars to E-REP without getting an explanation of how the money will be used?  …we have been told that in 2023 E-REP also received the same amount of money from both the Evansville City Council and Vanderburgh County Commission without getting an explanation of how the money was spent?  …that the above transactions are considered poor public policy because they lack transparency?

IS IT TRUE that we are told that many Vanderburgh County Republicans are extremely perplexed why GOP Chairman Mike Duckworth fired the highly respected and ethical President of the Vanderburgh County election Commission, Joe Harrison, without explaining to the public or Mr Harrison the reason he fired him?  …many people are waiting for Chairman Duckworth to make a public statement about why he fired Joe Harrison from the Vanderburgh County election board?

IS IT TRUE we have been told that members of the Vanderburgh County School Board recently received a pay increase without public fanfare?

IS IT TRUE that it looks like some of the backroom shenanigans of a couple of Republican movers and shakers have finally taken a toll on the once proud and powerful Republican Party of Vanderburgh County?

IS IT TRUE that over the years people living in the JIMTOWN area of Evansville say when there is a change of the political guard at the Civic Center the “Names Have Changed but The Political Games Remind the Same”?…this phenomenon is not exclusive to Evansville and was memorialized by Cinderella in their song the more things change, the more they stay the same?

 IS IT TRUE that the reason why working-class people believe positive change will never happen within our government is because political patronage and pork barrel shenanigans are commonplace in local politics?

IS IT TRUE that it has been rumored that an elected official didn’t attend an official meeting because of an alleged health issue but he did attend a political fundraising event on his behalf that evening?

IS IT TRUE that several elected city officials took advantage of taxpayers last year by not attending meetings and still receiving full pay?  …that we wonder how many Vanderburgh County taxpayers could miss work and get paid?

Today’s Readers Poll question is: How do you rate the job that members of the Vanderburgh County Council are doing?

  2. Is it true that the City Of Henderson will regret their decision on the New Chief of Police?. Their choice did not come from within the department or the community. Did they do a through investigation or just went by public perception?
    “Names have changed but the poliiical games stay the same” Good Luck to all of those involved you are going to need it.

  3. I wish that you would publish names for all of the “Is it true” questions.

    If it is true and can be documented as such, then wouldn’t it just be reporting facts?

    Thank you.
