“IS IT TRUE” SEPTEMBER 10 2018

7

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 we are hearing that several Evansville City Councilmen and taxpayers are disappointed with Mayor Winnecke for not holding public hearings concerning the design, costs, and location of the proposed the $28 million dollars Deaconnes Aquatic Center at Garvin Park?  …that some people are now saying that the Mayor has seemly adopted a benevolent dictator style of managing City Government?

IS IT TRUE that last week we predicted that the Mayor will stack the City Council Chambers at this evening City Council meeting with supporters of the proposed $28 million dollars Deaconess Aquatic Center at Garvin Park?  …when the Mayor makes his public pitch to City Council this evening to build the Deaconess Aqua Center at Garvin Park we hope that they will ask him to give them a detailed breakdown on the legal agreement made between him and Deaconess Hospital concerning the naming rights of this projects?

IS IT TRUE we hope that Mayor Winnecke will also give City Council detailed information concerning the role that EVSC is going to play in the development of the Deaconess Aquatic Center at Garvin Park?

IS IT TRUE we still stand by our prediction that once the $28 million Deaconnes Aquatic Center is finished Mayor Winnecke will sign a contract with the local YMCA to manage the new Aquatic Center at Garvin Park?  …we hope that this evening the Mayor will provide City Council with detailed information concerning the financial commitments he made with the officials at the YMCA to manage the Deaconess Aquatic Center once it is built?

IS IT TRUE that “Jacobsville Join In” is sponsored by ECHO Housing and received their operating funds from the Evansville DMD?  …recently they closed their North Main Street offices without fanfare?…we hope the reason for the abrupt closing of “Jacobsville Join In” office located on North Main Street didn’t have anything to do with the current “Forensic Audit” being conducted at ECHO Housing Corporation?  …it’s time for the officials at DMD and ECHO Housing Corporation to come forward and make a public statement concerning this issue?

IS IT TRUE we are told when Mayor Winnecke didn’t allow his Deputy Mayor to publically welcome the President of the United States to Evansville recently it really hurt the credibility of his Deputy Mayor status?

IS IT TRUE we are extremely pleased that Evansville City Council member and well-known animal advocate Missy Mosby took a public stand concerning the cat freezing controversy at the Spencer County Animal Shelter? …we commend Ms. Mosby for contacting the Spencer County Sheriffs Department and turning over the text messages of the shelter’s workers to the authorities?

IS IT TRUE we are told that Missy Mosby has also contacted a friend in law enforcement and he has handed over pertinent information concerning the Spencer County cat freezing controversy over to the Indiana State Police? …we are also been told that letters and newspaper articles have been turned over to officials of the state and national Humane Society and PETA? …Ms. Mosby has declared that she won’t stop fighting for the humane treatment of animals? …we give five (5) cheers to Missy Mosby and her supporters for standing up for the humane treatment of animals and their rights?

IS IT TRUE that the McCurdy Hotel water bill and sewer issue has been out of the news lately? …we know like to if this $1.5 million water and sewer bill have been paid or if a settlement has been made?

IS IT TRUE that Evansville City County Attorney Joshua A. Claybourn writes an interesting blog entitled “Finding Our Sense of National Identity”…we highly recommend that you read it because it’s extremely informative?

IS IT TRUE since the revelation that Evansville City Controller Russ Lloyd Jr., CPA hasn’t paid the $369,000 in Victory Theater bills for 2017 we wonder if he has taken the $369,000 from the 2018 city budget to pay for the operating expenses of the Victory Theater for 2017?  …we also wonder how City Controller Lloyd is going to find the money to pay for the Victory Theater bills for 2018? …we hope that this question will be asked at the current City of Evansville budget hearings?

IS IT TRUE in all of this hubbub we have also learned that there will be another arena football team coming to Evansville and will be called the Indiana Firebirds?…it is expected that the Firebirds will make Ford Center their home and while we wish them well, Evansville has not been a place that semi-professional football has found financial success?…if the Firebirds can’t draw more paying customers than the Icemen, Thunderbolts, or Bluecats have they are destined for a spot on that list of 50 something pro sports teams that have flamed out in Evansville?…with rents what they are and tickets bringing what they will it will take average paying crowds of 5,000 to have a viable indoor football team?…that is a long shot if there ever was one?

Todays “Readers Poll” question is: Where should the proposed Deaconess Aquatic Center be built?”

  1. Angry Barack Hussein Obama calls all that attended the Trump rally in Evansville the “powerful and privileged”
    ………………………………………….

    “In a fiery campaign speech at the University of Illinois, the former president suggested that Donald Trump was elected in 2016 by the “powerful and the privileged.” He also railed at voters for failing to show up, and for permitting such a damaging “threat to our democracy.”

    But here’s the truth: it wasn’t the powerful elites that voted for Donald Trump in Michigan and Ohio. It was blue collar workers who felt they had been overlooked by Obama and by Democrats. Who were offended by the headlong rush into identity politics, and by policies that protected everything but their jobs and their livelihoods.

    It was voters in Ohio and Pennsylvania, who had seen local industries move overseas, and it was voters in Michigan, who were aggrieved that Hillary Clinton took their votes for granted.”…

    They were so busy slicing and dicing the population into groups that could be won over by targeted policies, they forgot to worry about the country overall….

    The surging economy is alarming to Democrats eager to retake the House of Representatives in November. To counter the good economic news, liberals have resorted to scare tactics, promising, for instance, that elevating Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court will mean the end of Roe v. Wade, greater access to guns, dirtier air and increasing racism…Above all else, President Obama is angry. President Trump has systematically chipped away at his legacy, taking us out of the TPP, the Paris Climate Accord and the insufficient Iran nuclear deal and removing misguided regulations like the Clean Power Act and the guidance on how colleges should deal with campus sexual assault.

    Trump isn’t doing this out of spite, but rather because these were bad policies. For the most part, they were also unpopular policies. That’s why voters rose up to protest in 2010, 2012 and 2016. Americans may have let Obama down in those elections, as he suggests, but they didn’t let the country down.

    Obama says the upcoming election is the most important in his lifetime; he may be right. Democrats are keen to undo the progress we have made over the past year, and they could. Let us hope voters won’t give them the chance.”

  3. Why would President Trump insist on extreme vetting of refugees from certain Muslim majority countries? Here a 31 year old entered France using Afgan child identity documents.
    …………………………………

    “TWO British tourists were stabbed in the head and chest by a rampaging knifeman who injured seven people in Paris on Sunday night.

    The 31-year-old attacker was using child identity documents issued to an Afghan minor, according to claims made by an investigating source….

    He was described as being of Pakistani or Afghan origin, and began “slashing passers-by” on the Loire Quay in the north of the city, according to reports.

    Armed with a 15-inch blade and a metal bar, he first stabbed two men and a woman outside the MK2 cinema complex.

    He then proceeded to a nearby street, where he attacked two British tourists, according to investigators.

    One was particularly badly hurt after being “stabbed in the head”, while the other was “cut in the chest”….

    Officials said they do not believe the attack was linked to terrorism, but it followed a series of attacks in the city that were claimed by ISIS….

    Police shot Kamel Salhi dead, and said the incident was not terrorism related, despite ISIS attempting to claim responsibility.

    An Egyptian national on a tourist visa was shot by soldiers at the Paris Louvre museum after rushing a patrol with a machete in February 2017.

    He too was linked to Isis, and remains in custody.”

  4. CCO can we find out how much money Deaconess paid for the naming rights to this 28 million dollar swimming pool………..

    • Why would a Hospital pay anything for naming rights? Kinda like Vectren advertising when there is no competition.

  5. Delusional Obama calls Bengazi a “wild conspiracy theory”. Hero and survivor Kris Paranto calls BS on Barack Hussein Obama after 4 Americans died, including our Ambassador. Makes you wonder which side Obama roots for.

    ……………………….

    “WASHINGTON – Former Army Ranger Kris Paronto said he wanted to reach through the screen and “choke” former President Barack Obama after the one-time commander in chief referred to “wild conspiracy theories” surrounding the 2012 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, that left four Americans dead.

    Paronto, a then-CIA contractor who was part of the response to the attack, made the comment during a Fox News interview Sunday.

    “It’s disgusting,” Paronto told Fox News host Pete Hegseth, adding that he thought it showed Obama to be a “narcissist” and “elitist.”

    “It just raises the bile inside of me. I had a hard time just watching the speech itself,” he said.

    “I just wanted to see what he had to say. And when that came across, I just wanted to reach through the screen and just grab him — grab him and choke him and say, ‘Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me that you’d have the gall to disgrace the memory of my teammates and what we did there that night by calling it conspiracy?’” …

    A special congressional investigation into the Benghazi attack severely criticized the military, CIA and Obama administration officials for their responses and subsequent explanations to the American people.

  6. Seems there is someone on here with Obama Derangement Syndrome. Perhaps I can help you-_President Obama is no longer in office and isn’t running for anything and is commenting as a private citizen. In addition, Ms. Clinton isn’t running for anything either. Seems to me, some of you out there can’t get these two former leaders out of your heads.
    Same with Benghhaaaaazi. I do wonder, did you spend this much time demanding an investigation into any of the more than 50 murders and killings at US Missions and Embassies during the Bush/Cheney administrations? Something tells me the answer to that is a big no-those deaths were A-OK with you ’cause a Republican was president. Go seek help.
