0

COMMISSIONER HATFIELD Will NOT RUN FOR  RE-ELECTION

There is a major difference between a leader and a politician. As the current President of the Vanderburgh County Commission Mt. Hatfield has earned the reputation that of being a leader.

He is a soft-spoken guy.  He’s extremely likable that can communicate with people from all walks of on almost any level.  He has a solid reputation for being honest and trustworthy.  However, Mr. Hatfield can be a direct bottom-line fact-based negotiator

This year has been extremely challenging because of the serious budget shortfalls caused by the COVID-19 virus issue. Some of his duties and responsibilities as the President of the County Commission include management of Department Heads of the county, oversee the development of estimates and specifications of proposed capital projects, contract negotiations and help with the scheduling of proposed capital projects. He is also responsible for community relations as well as the official spokesperson for the County Commission.

Jeffrey M. Hatfield, Sr. Owner/President, is the CEO of Core Contractors, Inc. a Commercial and Multi-Family Construction, Evansville, Indiana (1999 – Present)

As a licensed commercial and residential contractor, Jeff is the owner and president of Core Contractors Inc. His duties and responsibilities include direct management of all employees, developing estimates, specifications, contract negotiations, and schedules. He is responsible for all customer contacts and relations as well. He has successfully owned and operated a small business for over thirty years.

Outside of Core Contractors Inc, Jeff loves spending time with his family and actively participating in his community. He is also an active member of St. Anthony Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus.

A few of his past affiliations include serving as president of the Evansville Water and Sewer Utility Board, president of the Southern Indiana Builders Association, and vice-president of the Indiana Builders Association.

He was born and raised in Evansville, where he graduated from Reitz Memorial Catholic High School and received his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Evansville and his  Associate Degree from the University of Southern Indiana, Evansville, Indiana

“RIGHT JAB AND MIDDLE JAB AND LEFT JAB” DECEMBER 24, 2020

0

Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have a couple of commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning National or International issues.

The majority of our “IS IT TRUE” columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give our more opinionated readers exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and Middle Jab and RIGHT JAB”  column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “MIDDLE JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” several times a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB” is a liberal view, “MIDDLE JAB” is the libertarian view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments in this column is free to do so.

YESTERYEAR: Santa Visits Siegel’s, Inc.

0

 Santa Visits Siegel’s, Inc.

 BY PAT SIDES

In December of 1937, Santa Claus paid a visit to Siegel’s clothing store, where he is seen here inspecting several shirts. The clerk behind the sales counter is probably Manuel or Meyer Siegel, who earlier in the decade took over the business that their father had opened in 1897.

Located at Fourth and Locust streets, Siegel’s sold quality men’s and boy’s clothing for decades, but after 1988, its merchandise was limited to only uniforms for police officers and other emergency personnel. The business remained family-owned until 2006 but continued to operate at the same site until 2016, when the building at 101 SE Fourth Street was sold.

In 1997, the Indiana Department of Commerce recognized Siegel’s as one of only eighteen Indiana firms that had operated continuously for over a century. It is still in business on the city’s east side.

State Has Been Reporting Inaccurate COVID-19 Positivity Rate Due To Computational Error

 

Indiana Lawyer and 

Indiana health officials have erred in reporting the state’s COVID-19 positivity rate since the beginning of the pandemic due to a problem with the way it was computed, resulting in a lower rate than would be accurate.

Dr. Kristina Box, Indiana health commissioner, said Tuesday that she believed that the reported 7-day positivity rate for the state has consistently been two to three percentage points lower than it should have been.

“The error we discovered is in the software logic coding used to calculate our positivity rate. The error has existed since we began reporting the data,” Box said during Gov. Eric Holcomb’s weekly press conference on the pandemic. “We’ve been working with outside data scientists to identify the issue and to develop a fix.”

Next week, the state plans to correct the state’s 7-day and all-time positivity rate, as well as the methodology for calculating the 7-day positivity rate for counties.

However, other statistics related to the pandemic reported by the state — including the number of cases per 100,000 individuals, the number of deaths and the overall test counts — have not been affected, Box said. Holcomb emphasized that the movement trends in the positivity rate throughout the pandemic closely mirrored the accurate numbers, and thus officials wouldn’t have made any different decisions.

On Tuesday, state health officials reported that the state’s 7-day positivity rate was 12.2% for all tests and 24.2% for unique individuals.

Braun Statement on Coronavirus Relief Package

1

U.S. Senator Mike Braun released the following statement on the coronavirus relief package:

“As a Main Street entrepreneur, I am proud to support additional funding that will help small business owners and working class Hoosiers survive in this final battle against the pandemic.

“The last week of eleventh hour negotiations and short-term spending bills reinforces what Hoosiers already know: Washington is broken.

“Main Street businesses and hard-working Hoosiers have been in desperate need of relief from Washington for months while D.C. politicians have been holding targeted relief hostage as they bicker over favors for special interests and how to spend more money we don’t have.

“I also encourage all Hoosiers to visit my website or email CoronavirusHelp@braun.senate.gov if they need further assistance.

“Our national debt is now over $27 trillion and Congress needs to get serious about our spending problem because we have a massive debt crisis.”
