IS IT TRUE? October 29, 2011
IS IT TRUE the Cardinals came through last night with a hometown boy from St. Louis driving in runs and making a key defensive play to win the 7th game in the 2011 World Series and bring an 11th World Series Championship to St. Louis?…that the St. Louis Cardinals franchise is second only to the New York Yankees in World Series Championships?…that the Yankees dominance is certainly helped by the gargantuan budget for talent that is enjoyed by that team in that market?…that the CCO is pleased as we are sure that nearly everyone in Evansville is who does not happen to be a native Texan?…that we can speak for the festive atmosphere at the Buffalo Wild Wings on Evansville’s East Side that kept rolling for the last 3 innings?…that there were a few Texas fans in the room but we all treated them with respect and that Evansville is a better town that Morgantown, West Virginia when it comes to sportsmanship?…that there were plenty of festivities last night but no couches were set afire?
IS IT TRUE that this looks like a perfect day for taking in a college football game?…that it would be nice to have the privilege of doing so in Evansville?…that back in the day, the University of Evansville Purple Aces football team took down some pretty strong teams?…that somewhere in a box is a football with a victory over the Louisville Cardinals?…that this is really a tale of teams and cities?…that today the Cardinals have a number of Bowl Championships including the 2007 Orange Bowl and play in a 57,000 seat stadium adjacent to Churchill Downs?…that all of this was put into place in the City of Louisville before their consolidation with Jefferson County?…that all of these places which sell out nearly every game are within the old city limits of Louisville?…that all are former dirty and abandoned industrial sites that were first torn down in mass and then revitalized with private dollars?
IS IT TRUE that the “official†verdict of what went on that caused FLOATGATE has finally been released?…that the finding is that Sgt. Hubbard was not proven to have acted upon any motive other than taking a person with a warrant out on them off of the street?…that the “official†position of the EPD is that if Alex Jarvis, the Political Director of the Vanderburgh County Democratic Party would have taken care of his outstanding warrant issue that Sgt. Hubbard would have had no reason to have him apprehended from the Democratic Party Float at the Fall Festival?…that the CCO still maintains that the timing was too perfect to have had no motive whatsoever and that Mr. Jarvis was at the very least the butt of a cruel joke?…that anyone who knows this guy would not seen his riding on a float as a threat to society?…that FLOATGATE shall live on in Evansville legend just as alien abductions in trailer parks and big foot sightings do in rural areas where MOONSHINE is openly available?…that maybe it was ALIENS that abducted Mr. Jarvis after all?…that it was a full moon so maybe some local version of a Werewolf was lurking?…that we look forward to the next shenanigans over the weekend?
IS IT TRUE among all of the political hoopla that Whirlpool Corporation has conducted another layoff and that there were even a few let go here in Evansville?…that the sister plant to the Evansville operation that was closed last year in Fort Smith, Arkansas in now on the list for mothballs?…that was probably just a matter of time?…that we seem to remember several tax abatements granted by the Weinzapfel Administration during the last couple of years of Whirlpool’s run in Evansville?…that we wonder if any actions are being taken in the last days of this administration to recover some of the incentives that Whirlpool was given that were never earned?…that the CCO would encourage Mayor Weinzapfel to use some of his last 61 days in office to recover some unearned incentives that are out there to fill the coffers of the City of Evansville and forget about emptying the coffers on special deals like pole barn tennis centers and any resurrection of any $2 Million baseball fields?
IS IT TRUE that our traffic is setting more records now than we can count and that we will be providing an update after the end of the month?
We know who had breakfast at Tiffanys. Do you know who breakfast at Lamasco Bar on West Franklin St. last Tuesday? Could it have been a past Democratic Party Chairman, an out going Evansville city council member, a past city council member- past county commissoner-county trustee and a should to be replaced CIty of Evansville fire chief having breaskfast with the Repbulican Candiate for Mayor of Evansville?
sLooks like we have another October policital surprise in the making. Maybe we should call this “Breakfast Gate”
That group likes to meet behind closed doors, 3 of the 5 were at the Homestead Credit Meeting. Winnecke, Jarboe and Curt John. I wonder if they tried to stiff the waitress out of her tip like they tried to stiff us out of our Homestead Credit?
Show me one instance where the Weinzapfel administration has enforced the provisions of any significant incentive contract he has signed with a corporation or developer, and recovered taxpayer dollars in the process.
The whole 8 years of his administration has been about signing the taxpayers’ name to a mountain of debt that will severely limit future projects. Especially when one adds to that the significant debt the local school corporation has also laid on the backs of taxpayers.
The local tax base can only support so much. A certain recipe for disaster is to increase spending at the same time the local tax base is declining. There is no alternative for Evansville, what is needed here is either more jobs, or less spending.

If this statement is accuate, it looks like the status quo politicians were “Trading political bacon for ham with the Repulican Candidate for Mayor” at this breakfast…..
Woops I didnt spell accurate right on my last post.
Officer Friendly Sgt Hubbard told Chief Close Ranks that anonymous snitch described suspect Alex not by name but only by his clothing. Alex learned his big lesson. Next time wear pretty yellow Pick Rick shirt and Officer Friendly cant pick you out in Democrat Float Line Up. Be like Job Jumpers for Davis and Dress for Success!
Hubbard should qualify for one of the 1st Annual Snegal Awards
He is a police officer, and he was doing his job. If that is contrary to the ethcial and moral principles of the Central Committee of the Democratic Party of Vanderburgh County, so be it. Whiney-Zapple cetainly did not let the law or moral principles get in his way for the last eight years. Now he’s the laughing-stock of Southwest Indiana, and to make matters worse for all of you, he is destroying your party as well.
Here’s hoping that Whiney flees to Indy soon after election day for a cushy, no-show job with his in-laws. He’ll probably bankrupt them in less than 18 months.
I’ll help him pack!
My son and daughter were at Buffalo Wild Wing’s East last night and said the place was “off the hook”. Now if the Colts could get a win or two.
I take great issue with the picture of Mr. Jarvis you have displayed. I have met Mr. Jarvis, and I can attest that he does not have a beard. Otherwise the picture is accurate.
That was not meant to portray Mr. Jarvis. That is Teen Wolf and it was chosen over the Roswell aliens and ET simply because the moon was full on the night that FloatGate happened.
Sgt. Hubbard’s story (as stated by the media) to the Police Chief Brad Hill regarding what happen Floatgate night is not the truth the whole truth. As a police officer, you would think he would know that lying about what actually happen will get you into serious legal trouble.
Bill Denton, Davis’s Campaign Manager and Sgt. Hubbard were together that night in the same area of the float.
Police Chief Brad Hill should make his full investigation report public.
