IS IT TRUE MARCH 12, 2018
We hope that today’s “IS IT TRUE” will provoke honest and open dialogue concerning issues that we, as responsible citizens of this community, need to address in a rational and responsible way?
IS IT TRUE when the former Indiana Lieutenant Governor Dr. Sue Ellspermann was hired as President of IVY Tech State back in 2016 she was paid a $300,000 base salary? …she also has the opportunity to earn as much as $100,000 in performance bonuses, in addition to other perks and reimbursements. Â …we wonder how the Ivy Tech Board of Trustees determine her performance bonuses and other perks? Â …we wonder what she is being paid for the 2018 academic year?
IS IT TRUE yesterday the Courier and Press published an article about 111 local public employees in Vanderburgh County that made more than $100,000 in 2017? Â …we highly recommend that you go to the Courier and Press web site and read this article? …if you do, you will be amazed how much some of these public employees were paid in 2017? …these figures don’t include perks or benefits? …we have posted a few of the salaries that caught our attention? Â …we wonder what some of these individuals are being paid for 2018?
IS IT TRUE that the outgoing President USI made $294,919 in 2017, not including perks, bonus, and benefits?
IS IT TRUE that in 2017 the EVSC Superintendent of Schools made $241,787? …this figure doesn’t including bonus, perks, and benefits? Â …we wonder what he is being paid for the 2018 academic year?
IS IT TRUE that the Chancellor of Ivy Tech-Evansville was paid $214,516 not including his bonus, perks, and benefits? Â …we wonder what he is being paid for the 2018 academic year?
IS IT TRUE that the most underpaid public employees are the Vanderburgh County Superior Court Judges who only made $147,217 last year?
IS IT TRUE that the Vanderburgh County Sheriff made $129,653 and the Chief Of Staff of the EVSC made $126,743 in 2017? Â …we wonder if you can tell us what’s wrong with this picture?
IS IT TRUE that the EFD Assistant Fire Chief was paid $108,686 and an Investigator of the EFD made $104,012 in 2017? …we wonder how much the Evansville Fire Chief was paid in 2017 since it wasn’t listed in the Courier and Press article?
IS IT TRUE that Evansville Housing Authority Chief Executive Officer makes $156,239 a year? Â …that the EHA Director of Operations was paid $108,362 and their Director of Finance was paid $103,406 during 2017? …this figure didn’t include bonus, perks or benefits? …that Evansville Housing Authority is responsible for a helping the poor and disadvantaged citizens of our area with affordable subsidized housing?
IS IT TRUE that a Corporal of the Evansville Police Department made $102,909 in 2017? Â …that the Evansville Chief of Police made $100,072 in 2017?
IS IT TRUE that the Mayor of Evansville was paid a salary of $100,533 in 2017? Â … it’s obvious that the position of the Mayor of Evansville is grossly underpaid and should bebe increased?
IS IT TRUE that individuals in upper management positions at the University of Southern Indiana, Ivy Tech and the EVSC are well paid for the jobs they do?
IS IT TRUE you must not forget that many of the above positions also received additional bonuses, perks and benefits not included in the salaries published in the Courier and Press article?
IS IT TRUEÂ we are hearing that many people are watching to see how the Evansville City Council members are going to vote on the Councilmen Justin Elpers term limit proposal at tonight’s Council meeting?
IS IT TRUE we would like to congratulate City Councilmen Dr. Dan Adams for deferring the vote on his proposed noise ordinance at tonight’s Council meeting?  …we are told that he has decided to get input from people that are affected by this overreaching ordinance?  …that reasonable people sit down and reason together?
Today’s READERS POLL question is: Â If the Republicans primary for Vanderburgh County Commission was held today who would you for?

Braun, Messer Agree To Debate; Rokita Declines
Staff Report
TheStatehouseFile.com
INDIANAPOLIS – Republican U.S. Senate candidates Mike Braun and Luke Messer have agreed to debate April 30 in a televised statewide event organized by the independent Indiana Debate Commission.
Braun, an auto parts distributor and former state representative, and Messer, a member of Congress, are two of the three candidates on the May 8 ballot. They and U.S. Rep. Todd Rokita are competing to face Democrat Sen. Joe Donnelly in November.
Braun and Messer will debate in a studio at public television station WFYI in Indianapolis from 7 to 8 p.m. The debate will be made available to television stations and other news organizations throughout the state.
Rokita declined the commission’s invitation to debate. The commission said that Rokita’s campaign manager, Bryan Reed, cited scheduling conflicts and specified that the candidate will participate only in primary debates “organized and moderated by conservative Republicans.â€
Rokita becomes the first candidate in the commission’s 10-year history to decline to participate in one of its debates. He issued a news release saying he would participate in a debate sponsored by the Allen County Republican Party on April 23.
“We are very pleased that two candidates have agreed to this debate, but we are equally disappointed that one has opted to decline,†said IDC President Gerry Lanosga. “A contested primary should be heavily vetted by Hoosier voters and not by partisans, party officials or special interest groups. A neutral option, such as one offered by the Indiana Debate Commission, makes the most sense.â€
Abdul Hakim-Shabazz, an Indiana politics blogger, radio host and attorney, will moderate. The format has not been determined.
Voters will have the opportunity to submit questions that will be considered for the debate. Questions may be submitted through the IDC’s website at www.indianadebatecommission.com starting on a date to be announced later.
The commission also will conduct televised debates during the general election campaign season this fall.
The Indiana Debate Commission formed in 2007 with the mission of putting voters first by sponsoring and conducting statewide, televised debates among candidates for statewide political office.
