ON PAYING FOR INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT:

“Everyone knows our roads and bridges and even broader infrastructure – throw in rural broadband – needs attention.  For the two and a half years I’ve been here no one has been serious about the question that requires political will: how do you pay for it without gimmicks?”

ON GOING ALONG WITH INFRASTRUCTURE DEAL WITHOUT HARD PAY-FORS WHEN DEMOCRATS PLAN FOR $3.5 TRILLION RECONCILIATION PACKAGE:

“To me, this is like paving the road to socialism. Even though you’re trying to talk about hard infrastructure, that is what worries me. We were $18 trillion in debt when I got here 2 years ago; we’re approaching $30 trillion now, and it gets shrugged off like nothing when you’re adding another $3.5 trillion. On top of the $1.9 trillion package the federal government passed earlier this year, that’s a lot of money to borrow.”

CHILD TAX CREDIT MAY REACH YOUR ACCOUNT SOON

0
.If you qualify for the Child Tax Credit, you may notice a deposit in your account soon.
Beginning July 15, the federal government will make payments to qualifying parents every month for the remainder of 2021. If you used your Old National account in 2020 for income-tax payments or refunds, or if your Old National account was used for pandemic-related stimulus payments, it’s likely that your credit will be added to that account soon (and every month afterward until 2022).
Here are some additional helpful details:
  • If you’re not sure if you qualify for the Child Tax Credit, you can review the requirements at www.irs.gov.
  • If you’re not sure which account will be used for the credit, visit www.irs.gov/credits-deductions. You can review and update your bank information there as needed.
  • Please note that unlike the stimulus payments sent out previously, the Child Tax Credit payments are subject to garnishment.
  • These monthly payments will equal half of the total Child Tax Credit available to you. You will claim the other half when you file your taxes for 2021.
If you’d like to learn more about the Child Tax Credits, read our informational blog.

Blues Traveler Brings the Blues to Evansville

 VICTORY THEATRE – September 21, 2021 

TICKETS GO ON SALE FRIDAY, JULY 16 AT 10 AM 

Evansville, IN – Once upon a time (1987 to be exact), a group of guys jammed out blues in a garage somewhere in New Jersey. However, it took them 33 years to really do it again in the same way. 

In between, Blues Traveler made every boyhood rock ‘n’ roll dream come true. They burst onto the scene with a trio of gold-selling albums—Blues Traveler [1990], Travelers and Thieves [1991], and Save His Soul [1993]. Then in 1994, Four went six-times platinum and spawned the definitive “Run-Around,” which garnered a GRAMMY® Award in the category of “Best Rock Performance By a Duo or Group.” They logged another platinum album with Straight On Till Morning in 1998 and spent the next twenty years selling out shows on multiple continents. In 2018, Hurry Up & Hang Around kicked off a new era with the guys firing on all cylinders. However, they look back and leap forward on their fourteenth full-length album, Traveler’s Blues [Round Hill Records]. 

This time around, the quintet—John Popper [vocals, harmonica], Chan Kinchla [guitar], Tad Kinchla [bass], Ben Wilson [keyboards], and Brendan Hill [drums]—reimagined and recharged classics from the American blues songbook and a few surprises, making the record they were Victory Theatre. 600 Main St. Evansville, IN 47708. Office: (812) 422-8000 

always meant to make. In the end, Blues Traveler came back home and played the hell out of the blues on their new album Traveler’s Blues, which will be released July 30th. 

“Blues Traveler is not just a band; it’s a lifestyle,” Chan remarks. “Blues Traveler is our life’s work. It’s enabled us to do so many other things. This little tribe we built in New York during the late eighties has survived all the way through—plus or minus some dearly departed brothers and sisters. It’s empowered us to be creative, make people happy, and travel around spreading some good vibes. The longer we do it, the more we like it. Now, people know we can actually play the … blues too,” he laughs. 

Tickets start at $39.00 and will be on sale July 16 at 10 am.

Y’alls walk off in series opener against Otters

0

The Evansville Otters dropped the first game of their three-game set with the Florence Y’alls Tuesday night, who were walk-off winners in front of the home crowd at Y’alls Ballpark in the bottom of the ninth.

 

After Edgar Martinez managed to get the first two outs of the ballgame, two-out singles from J.R. Davis and Riley Krane, followed by a walk to Elijah MacNamee, loaded the bases for Andretty Cordero. Cordero promptly lined a two-run single to right, giving the Otters a 2-0 lead.

 

Andrew Penner extended the Otters lead to three with an infield single to the right side that scored MacNamee from third.

 

The Y’alls answered for one run in the bottom of the first, when Axel Johnson homered to straightaway center leading off the Y’alls half of the ballgame.

 

Otters starter Polo Portela and Martinez traded scoreless frames until the bottom of the fifth, Trevor Craport continued his push for the Frontier League RBI-lead with a two-out, run-scoring single, which cut Evansville’s lead down to 3-2.

 

The Otters would add that run right back in the top of the sixth, when Bryce Denton singled home Cordero from second on a base hit to right center with one out. That put the Otters up 4-2.

 

The Y’alls would then tie the game for the first time in the bottom of the sixth, after Tyler Spring came on to relieve Polo Portela, who struck out the last batter he faced, with one out and the bases loaded. The first batter to face Spring reached on an error by the second baseman, bringing the Y’alls within one. Then, with the bases still loaded, a walk issued to Luis Pintor would tie the game at four.

 

Evansville scratched across another run in the top of the seventh to regain the lead, as J.R. Davis, who reached first on a strikeout-wild pitch before advancing to third on two more wild ones, scored on a base hit to right from MacNamee. The Otters then led 5-4.

 

Florence tied it up for the second consecutive inning in the bottom of the seventh, when Trevor Craport scored from third on a sacrifice fly to center with the bases loaded off Tyler Spring.

 

After the run-scoring out, Taylor Wright replaced Spring and got the only last batter in the inning to fly out to right.

 

The Otters were held scoreless in the eighth and ninth, while Wright worked around a leadoff single to strand the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth.

 

In the bottom of the ninth, the Y’alls loaded the bases off Wright with one out, for Connor Crane to win the ballgame on a walk-off blooper to right. Florence picked up the first game of the series by a 6-5 final.

 

Sean Hughes (4-0) earned the win, while Taylor Wright (0-3) took the loss.

 

Evansville will look to even the series Wednesday, July 14. Fans can follow along with an audio broadcast on the Evansville Otters YouTube channel, with first pitch scheduled for 5:31 p.m. CT.
