IS IT TRUE NOVEMBER 6, 2018

5

We hope that today’s “IS IT TRUE” will provoke honest and open dialogue concerning issues that we, as responsible citizens of this community, need to address in a rational and responsible way?”

IS IT TRUE that the four (4) political races we highly recommend that you focus on watching this evening are: Braun(R) versus Donnelly (D), Levco (D) versus Hermann (R), Steve Folz (D) versus Wendy McNamara (R) and Duckworth (R)versus Hatfield (D)?

IS IT TRUE we are told that several concerned citizens will be filing a formal Freedom Of Information Request with Mr. Hermanns office asking for a copy of the Drug Testing contract between the Vanderburgh County Prosecutor and ABK Inc.?  …we are told once they receive this contract they will make it public?

IS IT TRUE we also urge that you pay special attention to the EVSC school board races?  …we hear that the individuals running against the incumbent members of the school board are poised to give them a run for their money?  …we are told that its possible that the make-up of the 2019 school board could have at least two new (2) members?

IS IT TRUE we have attached a link concerning the Indiana Court Of Appeals Decision concerning CWI Investments and the Town Of Darmstadt?  …we have also attached an analysis concerning the possible ramifications if CWI Investments wins the Federal Lawsuit they filed in the United States District Court against the Town Of Darmstadt?

10-30-18 Indiana Court of Appeals Decision

IS IT TRUE that the Town of Darmstadt recently lost its state court lawsuit against CWK Instruments and the Evansville-Vanderburgh County Board of Zoning Appeals because the Town failed to timely file a Petition for Judicial Review with respect to the BZA’s approval of CWK Investments’ improvement location permit regarding the construction of apartment buildings to be located on Hillsdale Road in Darmstadt?

IS IT TRUE that CWI Investments also has a federal lawsuit pending against the Town of Darmstadt in the United States District Court in which it seeks damages against the Town of Darmstadt for not allowing the construction of the apartment buildings on Hillsdale Road?

IS IT TRUE that if the Town of Darmstadt loses the federal lawsuit with CWK Investments that the Town of Darmstadt might have to pay a substantial amount of money to CWK Investments, money it may not have?

IS IT TRUE a group of private citizens recently asked the City what the proposed Evansville Sewage and Treatment facility will cost the Evansville taxpayers?  …they also wanted to know where the money is coming from to pay for the new multi-million dollar Evansville Sewage and Treatment project?  …they were told that they would have to file a Freedom of Information Request to get it this information?  …we wonder what happened to the pledge of Mayor Winnecke that his administration will practice transparency?

IS IT TRUE we expect that fifth (5th) Ward City Councilman Justin Elpers to have only token opposition when he runs for re-election.  …the reason why is that people in the 5th Ward are extremely pleased with Mr. Elpers conservative demeanor?

IS IT TRUE we are hearing that local Democrats are very upset that the Democratic-controlled City Council picked a City Council attorney who is an active member of the Vanderburgh and Warrick County Republican parties?  …they are also taking issue that the current City Council attorney lives in Newburgh?
IS IT TRUE  the Democrats are going to spend a great deal of time and money to take back the 3rd Ward City Council seat that they held for many years? …we predict that newly appointed 3rd Ward City Council member John Hayden, CPA will have one heck of re-election battle to retain his seat on Council?
IS IT TRUE we are hearing that at least seven (7) individuals are considering a run for the Evansville City Council at-large seats?  …the at-large City Council seats are always vulnerable because candidates run citywide? …don’t be surprised that at least two (2) At-Large City Council seats will have new members?
IS IT TRUE we are told that 4th Ward City Councilwomen have finally decided to retire?  …the hand-picked candidate to replace her is none other than  Alex Burton? .
IS IT TRUE that 6th Ward City Councilman Jim Brinkmeyer is finally doing things that his Westside constituencies are agreeing with and it looks like his chances of re-election have greatly improved? …we hope that he doesn’t cut a deal with local Republicans if he goes along with the Mayor’s political agenda they won’t run anyone against him?
IS IT TRUE it’s obvious that our city officials feel that paying their bills are less than important than building a multi-million “penguin” display at the Zoo?
Todays“Readers Poll” question is: Who do you feel will be elected Indiana United States Senator?

  1. And 2 nd ward??? What has she done but go along with Winnie? And his bad city financial management.

  2. Did Seldom Seen Larry Bucshon ever groundhog up this cycle? Don’t remember seeing him, which is good, or even hearing a peep out of him. Worst representative-in-name-only the 8th has sent to congress in modern times.

    Seldom hides from his constituents lest he be mistaken for a ball of dough that’s not kneaded.

  3. Who with any credibility was considered for the drug screening contract? Would not want to go to court with a drug offenders freedom in jeopardy with anyone but ABK. Most drug screening activities in this area are too stupid to protect the chain of custody and get ate up in court. Levco is some dumb but not plumb dumb so I doubt he would use anyone other than ABK. Even drug users deserve a fair break even if most of them are liberals and come from democrat families who glamorize substance abuse and brag about how many times they’ve been in treatment.

  4. Yep. I bet those high-rollers who live in Kahre Acres are tickled pink about be invaded by a multi-occupancy high density investment.
