IS IT TRUE that County Commissioner Ben Shoulders (D) worked diligently on this issue during the last several months?  … he did extensive research on this issue, made phone calls to other Indiana County jurisdictions that had similar problems, met with many local business/restaurant owners in order to find a simple solution this problem?  …we would like to also give special thanks to County Commissioners Ben Shoulders for creating an ordinance that gives more flexibility to outdoor dinning?

IS IT TRUE that downtown Evansville got a glimpse of what could be Saturday night when Michigan Senatorial candidate Kid Rock came to town?…the flashy redneck rocker sold over 10,000 tickets in the Ford Center with people driving from as far away as Poplar Bluff, Missouri to hear what The Kid had to say and sing?…the show opened up with a political speech that called for a return to Christianity and a departure from identity politics?…Kid Rock could be the next Mayor of Evansville if he could just capture the votes of his fans?…this guy is made possible by the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States and is an example of President Trump with flash and the brashness of youth?…the music was of course enjoyable and full of energy?…every barstool in downtown Evansville was full with a dozen people waiting for the seat hours before and hours after the show?…for the first time since the inaugural Bob Seeger concert, the Ford Center actually delivered the kind of concert that Weinzapfel’s consultants said it would on a monthly basis?…we hope to see Rush and Metallica next?

IS IT TRUE that the hacking of your Social Security numbers, especially when combined with other exposed data such as driver’s license numbers, birth dates and home addresses, can allow identity thieves to impersonate you.

Or, more likely, they can sell this data on the open market to those who will use it for those purposes and perhaps for other crimes we can’t imagine?   …Its time for you to contact your financial advisors to insure that they will immediately begin to you protect your identity and hard earned money?
