This year’s guest speaker will be Evansville Mayor Stephanie Terry, who served as the organization’s first deputy director and was a “Carver Kid” as a child.
Terry served as executive director of the Children’s Museum of Evansville (cMoe) for 13 years, leading a team dedicated to enriching the lives of hundreds of thousands of children and their families. Under her leadership, the museum increased visitors and memberships; strengthened partnerships; raised and invested over $1 million in new capital projects; and launched a $6.5 million capital campaign, raising $5 million before her departure.
In the same year she joined cMoe, Terry was appointed to fill a vacant seat on the Vanderburgh County Council.

She was re-elected in 2014, 2018 and 2022, before being elected Mayor of Evansville in November 2023.
November Highlights from Indiana State Treasurer Daniel Elliott
This Veterans Day was one I’ll never forget. I had the honor of spending it with the great folks at American Legion Gillen Post 33 in Bedford, IN where we recognized the incredible service of local veterans with a special flag presentation to Post Commander Kevin Masterson. As someone whose brother served in Iraq and whose grandfather fought in World War II, Veterans Day is deeply personal to me. It’s a day to reflect on the bravery and sacrifice of those who’ve served and to say thank you. Grateful to Bedford’s veterans and all Hoosier heroes for their commitment to our country. For the full story, check out The Times-Mail.
I was honored to serve as the keynote speaker at the Greater Lawrence Chamber (GLC) membership luncheon. It was the perfect opportunity to sit down with President Brad Klopfenstein and discuss the Treasurer’s Office’s valuable role in state government, as well as the dynamics of Indiana politics. Engaging with our local community is always a fulfilling experience, and I’m grateful to connect with so many dedicated individuals working hard to move Indiana forward. Events like this remind me of the power of collaboration and the impact we can have when we come together.
Organization Day at the Indiana General Assembly is always a special time, and this year was no different. It was a chance to connect with leaders and legislators from across the state as we gear up for the work ahead. The room was filled with energy, and it was clear we all shared a commitment to serving Hoosiers. Being a part of this historic process is a privilege, and it’s always inspiring to see the dedication of those who step up to make Indiana stronger.
I’m looking forward to working with the General Assembly in the months ahead to deliver real results for the people of our great state!
In service,
Daniel Elliott
Indiana State Treasurer

Best Comments of the Week
The City-County Observer has always been here to provide an opportunity for readers to share their thoughts. Here are some of the best comments from the past week.
On our story about the eligibility of the new 4th Ward City Council person:
- Mark Chandler: “Since my part of ward 3 became part of ward 4 a few years ago , Myself and neighbors feel that we are not represented”
- Donald Nichols Lee: “This should be simple to resolve”
- Hoot Al: “It seems the requirements are clear and she was late on making the changes. So she is not eligible for the position and the council should never have seated her before this was resolved.”
- Shona Jarboe: The CEB-5 submitted by Carothers on Nov 1st along with her 3rd Ward voter registration status and (still pending) change of voter registration to 4th Ward submission date of Nov 2nd should be concrete enough proof that she is not qualified for the Fourth Ward Seat.
All Vanderburgh Democrats should be outraged by this situation, and it’s continued support and advocac by our Elected Democrats.
On Mike Pence Calls on Senate to Reject RFK Jr. for HHS
- al sharpie: We the people rejected spineless pence …….
On IS IT TRUE that the Republican party’s massive sweep in the recent November General election will force the political patronage and pork barrel politicians to live within their means?
- Donald: Answer: NO! They are the biggest spenders. Just look at Evansville and who ran it for 12 years.
- Eviltaxpayer: In reply to Donald: Weinzaphle was a Democrat and Winnecke ran on the Republican ticket however his actions tell me he was a Democrat at heart
