IS IT TRUE May, 4, 2012 Part 2

IS IT TRUE THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOT ONE SINGLE WORD IN THE LOAN DOCUMENTS BETWEEN THE CITY OF EVANSVILLE AND EARTHCARE ENERGY THAT REQUIRES EARTHCARE ENERGY TO MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS TO THE CITY OF EVANSVILLE OF $2.5 MILLION PER YEAR AS HAS BEEN WIDELY REPORTED?…THAT WE GUESS THAT THIS COMMITMENT WAS MADE WITH A NOD, A WINK, AND FINGERS CROSSED BEHIND SOMEONE’S BACK?…THAT THE PEOPLE OF EVANSVILLE HAVE A RIGHT TO SEE THIS CONTRACT IF BY CHANCE THERE IS ONE?

IS IT TRUE that at this point there have been 5 articles in two publications regarding the recently disclosed plot for the City of Evansville to borrow money by selling bonds to loan that money to Earthcare Energy at an interest rate of 1.5%?…that this plot sort of came as a surprise to everyone and that its goal was to close this deal before the May 14th meeting of the Evansville City Council?…that as those who rushed the vetting and rushed the vote started getting wind of public opposition to this deal they must have calculated that the only way to jam this thing to completion was to hurry up and borrow the funds and make some disbursement?…that people on a mission from some unknown master often do things that go against the grain of common sense?

IS IT TRUE that those five articles have now attracted 210 comments from readers and that there is still NOT ONE POST IN SUPPORT OF LOANING ANY MONEY TO EARTHCARE ENERGY?…that some comments are well thought out, others are emotional, and others are quite denigrating toward the five members of the City Council who voted for this, Mayor Winnecke, and GAGE president Debbie Dewey?…that it is fortunate that there have only been unkind words, words that may make these people the butt of jokes for a long time, but no threats?…that some of the speculation is unfounded but much of it makes sense?…that the question of whether Ken Haney, an Earthcare manager is somehow related to an Evansville Haynie that is close to Evansville’s first lady Carol McClintock is not correct?…that Haney does not equal Haynie and these people are unrelated so let’s put that speculation to rest?

IS IT TRUE that one of the comments that appears in several posts asks a question regarding just who brought the Earthcare Energy idea to the City of Evansville?…that this poster even states that if one can get to the bottom of that then the reason for normally rational people digging in their heels to support an irrational action will become clear?…that does indeed intrigue us?…that the question of just who in the decision team or who pulling their strings stands to gain from Earthcare borrowing this money is one worth exploring?…that the most prominent local Reverend Adrian Brooks has been vocally supporting this loan from day 1?…that several other people have expressed support including 2nd Ward resident Charlene Braker but no one with the influence of Reverend Brooks has been out in front of this from the beginning?

IS IT TRUE that we stand by our assertion that without respect to who may financially benefit from the borrowing of these dollars that THIS IS EVANSVILLE’S DUMBEST HOUR?…that people who privately say this is not a good idea when faced with making a public statement equivocate or even express support as their masters have told them to?…that we agree that when we find the puppet master(s) behind this unfolding embarrassment to the City then we will know which of our elected and appointed officials really are mindless puppets?…that then and only then can something be done to remove the puppets from positions of power?

  1. wow!!!

    My Editor you hit the nail on the head!

    I’m etremely proud to call the City County Observer my new home town paper!

    I’m ashamed of the Evansville Courier for not getting front of this most important political issue. They wonder why their paid readership has dropped by leaps and bounds over the last several years.

  2. I have no problem with the $ 2.5 Million annual payments from Earthcare to the City not being in a contract. If Evansville really wants to attract business, we have to TRUST people, and that includes a handshake for $ 30 Million that is expected to coming flowing in from this investment over the coming years. I have full faith and confidence the money will show up, even without any legally binding requirement to send it to the City.
