 Thank you for a Successful 2019 Lincoln Day Celebration
Last Thursday evening, March 21, 2019, the Vanderburgh County Republican Party held its annual Lincoln Day Dinner at the Evansville Country Club. This year’s Keynote Speaker, Indiana Senator Mike Braun, shared his story of what it took to win the US Senate seat from incumbent Joe Donnelly, and what the first few months as Indiana’s Junior Senator have held.  Braun promised to continue helping President Trump advance an agenda that is good for Hoosiers and America. Prior to Senator Braun taking the podium, introductory speeches were given by guest speakers Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke, 8th District Congressman Dr. Larry Bucshon, and Indiana Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch.  Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill lead the gathering of approximately 180 in the Pledge of Allegiance and in the Invocation. The crowd of 180 were also treated to heartfelt renditions of the the National Anthem and America the Beautiful by vocalist Jordan Duncan. Chairman Wayne Parke presided over the event.
At the end of the Lincoln Day proceedings, Chairman Wayne Parke presented the 2019 Republican of the Year award to long time public servant, and current County Treasurer, Susan Kirk.  Prior to the naming of Susan as this year’s recipient, previous award recipients Wayne Parke, Lloyd Winnecke, Frank Peterlin, and Kevin Harrison were recognized.
The Vanderburgh County Republican Party would like to thank everyone that helped make this year’s Lincoln Day Dinner a huge success!

Susan Kirk 2019 Republican Of The Year  

Susan Kirk was named the 2019 recipient of the Republican of the Year Award at the conclusion of  last Thursday evening’s Vanderburgh County Lincoln Day Dinner. As has been the practice in past years, the introduction of the award winner is prefaced with facts about the individual’s life and accomplishments prior to revealing the name of the recipient.

 The following remarks were made by VCRP  Chairman Wayne Parke in announcing this year’s winner, Susan Kirk.

Our Republican of the Year honoree’s parents taught their child to be honest, fair and to always remember— that a public servant should be dedicated to serve the public—not themselves. This year’s recipient began their career in government 46 years ago, during their Father’s second term as Vanderburgh County Treasurer. It is from him, our recipient started learning the fundamentals of County government and the love of public service.

Our recipient has been the Supervisor of Elections, Voter Registration Manager, and Community Development Coordinator of DMD.

Our Recipient was elected County Clerk 16 years ago. The Clerk’s office is the largest County office in local government with 50 plus employees. The Vanderburgh County Clerk duties include managing the Election Office. Our recipient piloted the projects of early voting in libraries and the use of vote centers– that have been a huge success.

For R & R, our recipient drove drag racing cars at Chandler. Her favorite car being a 1969 Dodge Dart. Our recipient likes to Sky Dive and ride motorcycles.

Our recipient has a son named Wayne and two grandchildren Emma and Everett and two dogs Dexter and Cali.

   Strengthening Indiana’s Workforce

(from the 3/22/19 Senate Republican newsletters of State Senators Vaneta becker and Jim Tomes)

Indiana’s workforce remains strong, with more than 3.39 million Hoosiers employed or pursuing employment in our state.

Due to Indiana’s competitive job market, strengthening our workforce continues to be a top priority for the General Assembly. This session, my colleagues and I are considering several measures to improve workforce development opportunities. House Bill 1002 would help increase high school career and technical education (CTE) opportunities by giving high schools more flexibility to improve CTE courses as well as hire instructors.

This bill would also improve job-training programs by expanding the Workforce Ready Grant, which pays for adults to complete certificate programs, to all colleges approved by the Commission for Higher Education in addition to Ivy Tech Community College and Vincennes University.

 State Launches New Career Site and Interactive Job Board

  (from 3/22/19 post by M. McLaughlin)
The Indiana State Personnel Department has launched an upgraded career sitethat offers a full-service, user-friendly job board. The site connects job seekers tomore than 70 state agencies. Some of the new features of the job board include customizable job alerts, advanced search functions, and the option to import resume information. The department says the new features cut the average time to fill a position by nearly 50 percent.
“When we receive more applications from qualified candidates, we are better positioned to fill current and future job opportunities while saving time and resources,” said INSPD director Britni Saunders in a news release. “This is one reason we encourage people who aren’t actively seeking a new job to complete a profile. There may be a perfect fit for them in state government down the road, and our job board is a great way to stay informed about the latest opportunities.”

President Trump protects Free Speech on America’s College Campuses
 
 President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday, March 21, 2019, to protect free speech and the First Amendment  rights of students on college campuses. The President condemned the overt discrimination and open hostility against conservative speech which has become common place on today’s college campuses. As a result of the President’s executive order, colleges and universities will now be required to uphold the First Amendment on campus if they want to receive federal research funding. 
 Watch President at the signing of the Executive Order :

  Mueller Probes Ends…. NO Collusion Between Trump and Russia
 
On Friday, March 22, 2019 special Council Robert Mueller released the long awaited final report of the completed Russia probe.  The 2 year, $25 million (and counting) investigation  did not find evidence that President Trump or any members of his campaign team conspired with Russia to sway the 2016 presidential election.
 
Dr. Bucshon’s Statement on Special Counsel Mueller’s Report
Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. released the following statement regarding the Special Counsel’s Report:”After two years, two congressional investigations, and millions of taxpayer dollars spent searching for collusion between Russia and President Trump’s campaign, Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation – which had unfettered ability to investigate any potential link between Russia and the Trump campaign – has made it clear, without a doubt, no collusion with Russians by President Trump or by any other Americans.”This was an exhaustive investigation, and the case is now closed on the matter. It is unfortunate that for two years, Washington Democrats had seemingly already made up their minds on this matter and chose to irresponsibly play politics, wasting time and money grasping at straws, rather than accept the results of the 2016 Presidential election and work with President Trump and Republicans in Congress to advance the American people’s priorities. I hope that Democrats in Congress will accept the results of Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation as definitive and put this matter behind us. Any further investigations of this matter in Congress will simply be a needless partisan exercise.

“I applaud Special Counsel Mueller and his team for leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to ensure our democracy stands strong. We must now move forward as a united nation to tackle the issues facing America – including the interference of foreign nations on our electoral system. I urge my Democrat colleagues to join with President Trump and Republicans in Congress to continue advancing an agenda that has brought America’s economy back to life, rebuilt our nation’s military, diminished threats in the Middle East, and improved the standard of living for all Americans.”

Saudi Company To Buy $69 Billion Stake In SABIC

0

MARCH 28TH, 2019 TYRONE MORRIS INDIANA

A Saudi Arabian company has reached a deal to buy a 70 percent stake in petrochemical company SABIC which operates right here in the Tri-State.

Saudi Aramco is the world’s largest oil producer but they’re shifting their focus to petrochemicals as demand for gas and other fuels slows down.

The $69.1 billion dollar deal still has to be approved. Sabic operates in 50 countries and has about 35,000 employees including some right here in the Tri-State.

The deal is not expected to have any impact on SABIC employees in Mt. Vernon.

400 Medley Relay

The defending NCAA Champion in the 400 medley relay, the Hoosiers earned the top-seed for Thursday night’s Championship Final with a pool record time of 3:01.26. Indiana’s team of Gabriel Fantoni, Ian Finnerty, Vini Lanza and Zach Apple will try to win back-to-back titles in the event for the first time in school history.

AG Curtis Hill Obtains Medical License Suspension Of Pediatrician Charged With Multiple Felonies

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill today announced that his office has entered into a voluntary agreement for a license suspension of a Boone County pediatrician charged with multiple felonies. This agreement is between the Office of the Attorney General and Dr. Jonathon Cavins’ counsel.

Dr. Cavins, who practiced in Lebanon, was charged by the Boone County Prosecutor’s Office after a 12-year-old patient came forward with allegations he was inappropriately touched during a routine physical. The Office of the Attorney General has entered into an agreement with Dr. Cavins to suspend his medical license for 90 days while he is under criminal investigation. Dr. Cavins signed the agreement dated March 25. The agreement was approved by the Medical Licensing Board of Indiana at its March 28 hearing.

In February, Dr. Cavins was charged with two counts of sexual misconduct with a minor, one count of vicarious sexual gratification and one count of child molestation. All of these crimes are felonies. Dr. Cavins’ pretrial conference is set for April 24, 2019, and a jury trial is set for July 8, 2019.

A criminal charge is merely an accusation. Defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
