IS IT TRUE that candidate for County Commissioner Marsha Abell has publically stated that she is not in favor of spending $18 Million on 8 little league ballfields on the Robert’s Stadium site?…..that President of the Vanderburgh County Commissioners Troy Tornatta has not taken a definitive stand on whether or not he supports the $18 Million ball fields proposal?…..that after a full day the City County Observer’s poll on the ball fields the vote is running 6 to 1 AGAINST SPENDING $18 Million on these ball fields?

IS IT TRUE that County Commissioner Troy Tornatta may not be opposed to the County contributing funds to the new downtown hotel project?…. that Mr. Tornatta’s County Commissioner opponent, Marsha Abell is adamantly opposed to the County contributing any funds associated with a new downtown hotel?…. that Ms. Abell wants the City to bear all of the costs associated with tearing down the walkway between the Centre and the Executive Inn and pay for the replacement of the sky bridge from the Centre to a new hotel?….that President Tornatta has not put a stake in the ground on his position with respect to whether or not the county should pay for the bridges and other connecting infrastructure?…..that Ms. Abell has stated that if she is elected County Commissioner that she will serve her full four year term?….that President Tornatta has not made a public declaration to serve out his full four year elected term as County Commissioner?….that the City County Observer invites President Tornatta to respond in writing with regard to his positions on how to pay for the Executive Inn replacement, the infrastructure associated with the connection of the Centre and a future hotel, and on his intentions to serve or not serve out his full four year term if he retains his seat on the Vanderburgh County Commissioners?

IS IT TRUE that the City County Observer will publish President Tornatta’s position statement on these three issues in full and without editing?
