Chairman Parke withdraws Petition for 2nd Ward Recount
Monday December 9, 2019On the advice of legal counsel and following the wishes of candidate Natalie Rascher, today I filed a motion to withdraw the petition for a recount in the City Council 2nd Ward race. Although we maintain there are irregularities with the some of the absentee ballots, the outcome of the election would most likely not change.

Natalie, her husband Zac, and the rest of her team are to be commended for her campaign’s effort in the razor thin loss for the 2nd Ward seat. It is my hope that Natalie will not let this deter her from seeking public office in the future.

Applications available for Indiana Senate Page Program

(from 12/9/19 Press release by R. Kommes)
The Indiana Senate is now accepting applications for the 2020 Senate Page Program. Through the full-day program, students in grades six through 12 can tour Indiana’s Statehouse, listen to debates and help staff with age-appropriate tasks. Students also have the opportunity to meet with their state senator.
“Moving a bill through the legislature can be a long and complicated process, and the Senate Page Program allows students to get an up-close look at what goes into accomplishing this task,” Tomes said. “I encourage all students in our area to consider paging with the Senate.“
The Senate Page Program will begin in January and run through early March. Positions fill quickly, so it is important to apply early. Pages are scheduled for Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays during the legislative session. They begin their day at 8:30 a.m. and are dismissed at 3:30 p.m. Groups serve together on Wednesdays. Serving as a page is considered an excused absence from school.

Indiana Chamber Endorses Governor Holcomb for Re-Election

The Indiana Chamber of Commerce is making only its second-ever endorsement in the gubernatorial race, supporting Governor Eric Holcomb in his re-election bid. The first time the organization made the call was in 2008 for then-Governor Mitch Daniels.

“We only make endorsements in statewide races in special circumstances. Governor Holcomb’s Next Level agenda has undeniably propelled the state forward in many meaningful ways. His leadership, drive and desire to bring people together to listen and learn have all been extraordinary,” says Indiana Chamber President and CEO Kevin Brinegar.

November Job Gains Once Again Smash Expectations-
The economy added 266,000 jobs in November, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) monthly Employment Situation Report released today. The job totals for September and October were also revised upward, leading to a total increase of 41,000 additional jobs.
. . . In the 36 months since President Trump was elected, the economy has created at least 100,000 jobs in 33 of those months and has added jobs every month. Considering the unprecedented length of the expansion and the 50-year low unemployment rate, continued job growth at this point again demonstrates that today’s labor market remains strong.

The Eagles, who opened the game with a 19-point first-half lead, saw their offense go cold in the second half against the Bearcats. Junior guard/forward Clayton Hughes led USI with 16 points and nine rebounds.

USI in the polls. USI fell 16th in the NABC Top 25 poll and to 23rd in the D2SIDA Top 25 polls.  The Eagles have been as high as ninth in both polls.

Leading the Eagles. Junior forward Emmanuel Little leads five USI players averaging in double-digits with 18.8 points per game. Junior forward Josh Price follows with 14.0 points per outing and a team-high 7.7 rebounds per contest.

USI vs. Lincoln (December 15). The Eagles are playing and hosting Lincoln College (Illinois) for the first time in program history.

Lincoln in 2019-20. Lincoln is 5-8 overall, going 2-6 in the last eight contests. The Lynx play at Harris-Stowe State University December 14 before visiting the Eagles on December 15.

NATALIE RASCHER CITY COUNCIL PLANNED RECOUNT WITHDRAWN

NATALIE RASCHER CITY COUNCIL PLANNED RECOUNT WITHDRAWN 

In response to the withdrawal of the City Council Ward 2 recounts petitioned by Vanderburgh County GOP Chairman, Wayne Parke, I would like to make the following statement. “First I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank all of my supporters and the residence of the second ward that believed in my aptitude to serve and vision for a better community.

After meeting with legal counsel both Mr. Parke and me agreed that while there were more than 40+ issues found in absentee ballot validity, a recount would not allow for those ballots to be properly challenged under the current Indiana State election law.

Therefore, I asked him to withdraw from this process. I plan on continuing to serve my community as a private citizen and look forward to my next endeavor, whatever it may be.” 

Natalie Rascher, a graduate of Leadership Evansville, has a long history of public service on local boards and in community organizations including the Junior League of Evansville, the Greenway Advisory Board, and the Vanderburgh County Alcoholic Beverage Board. She has served as a volunteer for the United Way of Southwestern Indiana, YWCA, and the Alzheimer Association.

Natalie and her husband Zac Rascher live in Evansville’s Second Ward with their three children.
