“IS IT TRUE” JUNE 24, 2024
IS IT TRUE that Evansville is in serious financial trouble because over the years several of our elected officials have spent too much money on fun and games projects?
IS IT TRUE that we have been told that it would make reasonable budget sense if the new Evansville City Controller would do a causal review concerning the Evansville Fire Department and Water and Sewer Department equipment inventory procedures?
IS IT TRUE that an elected official in Evansville City Government uses their campaign email address for city business? …that past news reports are full of articles of politicians such as Hilary Clinton who have conducted government affairs via unsecured private email servers?… that a politician using a private email account could be construed as an attempt to protect official communications from the scrutiny of Freedom of Information Act requests from the media or members of the public?
IS IT TRUE that many members of the Vanderburgh County GOP are ready to hold hands and sing Kumbaya?…that Republican Steve Hammer, Johnny Kincaid, Marsha Abell-Barnhart, and others have offered to assist with bringing the party back together? …that we support efforts to resolve the riffs that currently exist in the Vanderburgh County GOP?
IS IT TRUE when the people fear the Government we have Tyranny and when the government fears the people we have Liberty?
FOOTNOTES: Today READERS POLL question is: Do you support EVANSVILLE establishing a permanent refugee agency?
