IS IT TRUE SEPTEMBER 1, 2017
IS IT TRUE it looks like the Mayor didn’t give any serious consideration to the possibility of giving a reasonable pay increase to our dedicated city employees in his proposed 2018 budget?
IS IT TRUEÂ we are extremely surprised that the Mayor didn’t propose to pay down the serious shortfall in the employee health plan in his proposed 2018 budget ?
IS IT TRUE instead the Mayor actually came up with way to give a million bucks to the EVSC so they can use it to repair Bosse Field, a facility that the EVSC has let fall into disrepair just like the city owned Mesker Amphitheater?
IS IT TRUE some people are saying that the Bosse Field proposal has got to be one of the most preposterous schemes to be proposed since our fun and games Mayor proposed a $10 Million dollar park at the old Roberts Stadium site with a $3 Million skateboard park to indulge the dozen or so skateboarders in Evansville? Â …we are told the reason why some people feel that way is because the EVSC owns Bosse Field not the city?
IS IT TRUE other Quality of Life requests the Mayor included in his 2018 proposed budget was $650,000 for Pigeon Creek Greenway Indiana HI-rail acquisition for trail expansion? …he also wants to spend $460,000 for the initial construction of the new Humboldt Penguin exhibit at Mesker Park Zoo and Botanic Garden?
IS IT TRUE the taxpayers are also paying off an annual debts payment for the new downtown medical school ($2.7M), the downtown hotel ($1.26M) without having any ownership position? …we wonder who are the owners of the hotel and medical school buildings that the taxpayers are paying off the loan notes on?
IS IT TRUEÂ that a group of local citizens recently held a very successful event to celebrate the efforts of all of the “First Responders” in Vanderburgh County?…several years ago (2013) Evansville City Council members Jonathan Weaver and Missy Mosby held an successful and well attended version of an event that honored local police and fire fighters?
IS IT TRUE we are pleased that the above group have decided to continue to celebrate the outstanding work of our “First Responders” by holding another event on 9-11 in 2018? Â …we are also extremely pleased to learn that this group have started a not-for -profit foundation so they can raise money for scholarships to be given to the children of our local “First Responders” who are going to college in 2018? Â …we have been told that this group has raised a whooping $9,000 in about a week for student scholarships?
 IS IT TRUE it’s projected when Tropicana Evansville completes its $55 million construction project of its on-land casino later this year they will be in a position to pay the city $12.5 million in early lease payments for 2018?  …isn’t this a similar transaction that the Mayor and officials at Tropicana agreed to in 2017?  …we have been told that the city has already drawn down $12.5 million in early lease payments from the Tropicana 2018 budget?
IS IT TRUE in the early part of this year the city received around a $3.5 million dollars in advanced payment from the Evansville Water and Sewer Utilities funds?
