Mercher Claims That City County Observer And Evansville Courier Posted An Erroneous Amendments In Error
The City County Observer as well as Evansville Courier printed an erroneous non-existant amendments in error.
I am requesting the City County Observer print that this was an error.
I have asked Josh Claybourn, our attorney to contact you also. The amendment printed in CP Saturday and also by City County Observer that listed me as a sponsor of an amendment to cut the non-profits by 25 percent is eroneous and that is a non-existant amendment.
I am not sponsoring any amendment to cut the non-profits.
I have sent three attachments:
1) Elpers and McGinn Amendment to cut non-profits. If their amendment passes then my amendments would be voted on.
2) Mercer amendment to exclude SWIRRCA if the Elpers and McGinn amendment passes.
3) Mercer amendment to exclude Leadership Evansville if the Elpers and McGinn amendment passes.

‘80S SWAGGER COMES TO 421 WITH QUEENS BLVD
That wonderful bluster of ‘80s music, loved by so many devotees of Classic Rock, comes swaggering back to 421 Casino Lounge stage this weekend with the St. Louis band, Queens Blvd.!
Five seasoned musicians comprise Queen’s Blvd., a name whose origin begs speculation – Is it because they also cover songs by legendary group Queen? Or because they consider themselves the bad boys of rock and roll with a name that personifies what is known as New York City’s most dangerous thoroughfare?
At any rate, “the ‘80s are flying high again and it ain’t nothin’ but a good time,†the band’s website boasts. “Queens Blvd. is taking it to the streets with a loaded six string and a primal scream.â€
You can hear the band’s renditions of ‘80s anthems and remember when groups like AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi ruled the rock and roll airwaves. Queens Blvd appears live at Tropicana Evansville’s 421 Casino Lounge on Friday, October 12 from 7PM-12AM and on Saturday, October 13 from 7PM-10:30PM. No admission fee, just a two-drink minimum for a night of fun!
Then on Saturday, smokin’ hot DJ Dadi takes over to fill the 421 dance floor with his electrified mix to keep the party going from 11PM-2AM.
