IS IT TRUE? March 29, 2011

IS IT TRUE that yesterday we brought up the topic of big agenda driven by big money folks like George Soros and the Koch Brothers being refreshingly absent from the coffers of Evansville’s candidates for the eleven City of Evansville offices that are up for grabs this year?…that we still believe that Soros bucks and Koch Brother bucks are not a factor here?…that has not always been the case?…that if one Google’s the term Weinzapfel+Soros that one Jonathan David Weinzapfel shows up on the list of recipients of political contributions from Mr. George Soros and various other people of the last name Soros all associated with George?…that maybe some of Mr. Soros’s money is sitting on the sideline in Evansville and looking for an agenda to support after all?

IS IT TRUE that thirteen donuts or other confectionary items is called a baker’s dozen?…that the root of that is from 13th century England when King Henry III made it a crime to cheat someone out of bread?…that the punishment for shortchanging someone in a bread transaction in those days was removal of the offending hand with an axe?…that the MAYOR”S DOZEN aka THE CONSOLIDATION COMMITTEE will have the second of what promises to be a multitude of public meetings to discuss the contents of their plan to consolidate the City of Evansville and Vanderburgh County?…that in the first meeting we were treated to answer after answer stating that certain issues were not considered because “Evansville hates change”?…that the only thing we know for sure from this plan is that the MAYOR’S DOZEN does not like change and had no intention of proposing any substantial changes?…that B. J. Watts the President of the Evansville City Council even uttered the old cliché’ “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” during the first meeting?…that the real problem is that many things in Evansville like our parks, our sewers, local government priorities, local government’s sense of the value of a dollar, and our policies toward litter and snow removal are BROKE and are in serious need of some FIXING?

Tom Terrific and his Wonder Dog
IS IT TRUE that rather than present a plan that has no substantial changes on the basis that “Evansville hates change”, why did the MAYOR’S DOZEN not propose some real changes that have a high probability of creating some real positive impact on all of Vanderburgh County?…that the people of Evansville may just surprise allot of people if some real common sense changes were proposed by voting yes?…that moving the boundaries, eliminating a few elected officials, and giving the Mayor a raise is not really any change at all?…that the powers that be need put their TOM TERIFFIC thinking caps on and do what the Reverend Adrian Brooks admonished them to do in the first meeting and “satisfy your constituency with your creativity”?…that the MAYOR’S DOZEN has presented a plan that reflects talent in the management of the merging of two governments but no creative problem solving to make the merger accretive to both the city and county dwellers?…that it is the act of creative problem solving that makes a profound positive difference in every endeavor whether public or private?…that the powers that be need to get busy and put some creative problem solver types into this process if there is to be any shred of probability that consolidation will pass in November of 2012?

IS IT TRUE that the next hearing at 5:30 p.m. March 30 in Room 301 of the Civic Center on Wednesday night?…that the hearing will be televised live on WNIN?…that Mayoral Candidate and President of the Vanderburgh County Commissioners Lloyd Winnecke has stated that he is prepared to keep this meeting going well into the night?…that this is reminiscent of the Roberts Stadium ballfields meeting that went on until after midnight?…that if it takes long meeting to hold real discussions and to reach the correct conclusions the City County Observer says “let the marathon meetings continue”?

IS IT TRUE that the wayward Democrats have returned to the Indiana House of Representatives?…that the Pied Piper Pat Bauer has claimed VICTORY for the Democrats month long trip into the State of Illinois to avoid pending votes?…that he seems to have gotten at least part of what he wanted?…that we shall see the price that is paid by the followers of the Pied Piper in November of 2012?…that while the Pied Piper may keep his lifetime job many of the perfectly good legislators who follow the former speaker in his run for the border shall lose their jobs for their flight?

  1. Is it true … that the MAYOR’S DOZEN aka THE CONSOLIDATION COMMITTEE will have the second of what promises to be a multitude of public meetings to discuss the contents of their plan to consolidate the City of Evansville and Vanderburgh County?”

    NO! It is NOT true.

    What is true is that the Vanderburgh County Commissioners and the Evansville City Council are having THEIR 2nd of what promises to be a series of public meetings to REVISE the reorganization committee’s plan of government.

    The reorganization committee had their series of meeting in 2010. Now it’s OUR TURN. We the People will have OUR TURN at modifying and voting on the plan. The commissioners and council members are OUR REPRESENTATIVES, I pray, and not the shills of special interests as the committee demonstrated themselves to be.

  2. “that the powers that be need put their TOM TERIFFIC thinking caps on and do what the Reverend Adrian Brooks admonished them to do in the first meeting and “satisfy your constituency with your creativity”?…”

    Is it true that this entire consolidation issue is not a result of any grassroots movement? ..that there is no overwhelming voter demand nor support for consolidation? ..that the whole issue is the result of backroom prodding by the powers that be using the League of Women Voters as the pawn to do the dirty work? ..that the number of signatures required to get the consolidation ball rolling is so minute, one could afford to buy each signator a donut in exchange for their “participation” and still have lunch money left? ..that the “need” for consolidation as well as its supposed “benefits” are entirely manufactured? ..that the whole issue of consolidation is nothing more than a way to legalize stealing money from rural residents in order to support the bad habits of an incompetently run city government? ..that two of the three County Commissioners who voted to rig the consolidation vote in favor of passage are now running for the office that will run the entire show? ..that the manner in which consolidation is being handled is typical of crooked politics and politicans in Vanderborg County?

  3. I wonder if our mayor takes pride in sharing a spot on the Soros list with Al Franken and Cynthia McKinney?

  4. I cant believe someone…anyone… would believe that Evansville is doing just well and isn’t a broken record.

    If there aren’t drastic changes made to Evansville we could very will dip below the 100k population number. The question, which has been around for 50 + years, still remains… Is Evansville ready to join the rest of the world and improve it’s technology and quality of life?

  5. You think Walker knows there’s a meeting? What happened to lindseys badge and patches?
