  1. Is there anything the City can do about the “unionized” beggars at the Division/Governor intersection? Today they also moved down to the Division/Garvin intersection. Beggars at 2 consecutive intersections off the Lloyd. What a great impression it makes for Mayor Winnecke’s fine city when the first thing a visitor sees are beggars holding cardboard signs standing next to the road.

    • Why would visitors come to Evansville? Liberals would be happy if we had beggars on every corner working 8 hour shifts. Most of the people who approve of unionized beggars are liberals who live in Newburgh. They come to Evansville preach diversity and then go to their homes in Newburgh.

  2. I am pleased to at least someone in city government is paying attention to the information the CCO has been sharing for so long. No body wants to continue living the way we are right now, BUT we must be very careful in reopening some of our business. I only hope that the Mayor, Mr Schafer, and the “Mayor’s Reopen Task Force” read and heed the warnings on the CCO. We don’t want our leaders known as the leaders of death.

    • Just how long should everything stay closed? This thing could stay with us another 2 years. Most liberals would be perfectly happy if this country became third world, that way we could all be equally miserable. It would probably stop all those illegals from coming in, they don’t normally flee one hole for another one.
